Yes the roland j6 chords was delivered today. He is dope I'm only annoyed by the battery that's been bagged. Fits well in my korg volca setup. Unfortunately it is difficult to get the roland 404 mk 2 here in germany, At least the latest version. The roland j6 chords very well. My setup is korg volca mix, korg volca sample 2 and korg volca bass. If something good comes out, i sample it on the mpc and do interpolarization.
great video, was also looking a getting the j6 for specifically house music. the synth presets are limited but if they make future updates with more presets from the mc101/mc707 that would be great
What is the bass like on the J6? Would it be capable of making synth style basslines or is the T8 more for that? I imagine the T8 would be more old school 303 basslines?
Two questions: On the sp 404 once you record you can't edit the sequences, just delete them I guess?. On the j-6 Can you create your custom chord banks too (associated with a specific preset)?
The SP404 pattern record mode kind of works like an overdub workflow. You can edit sequences but only by dubbing over - so if you want to remove a track (or parts of a track), it's a case of holding down a button while that track is playing. It takes some getting used to but it's OK. But yeah you can't edit individual notes/steps like on a MPC
@@rorz999 Thank you for replying. I've asked this in other places and some people get annoyed by the fact the sp 404 does not have this feature , claiming that I don't understand the nature of this machine... 😅
If you're using two of the same adapter with a midi cable b/t, can't you just run a 3.5mm TRS cable instead? Esp b/t two pieces of Roland gear. That's how all the aira's interface b/t each other without usb or midi cables. New viewer, loving the content so far!
I have NO idea how to change the BPM on the J-6… 1. It doesn’t show on the screen, the Manuel says it shows at all times… I also did what the Manuel said “how shift and move knob”..nothing happens…do I have to be in a certain mode to do it? Also for NO reason I can not get the arp to work, if I push the “on”? Button.. all sound stops, and no tweaking of the two knobs changes anything… is my unit defective or is there something I’m missing?
You can use TRS 3.5mm cable beteen SPMK2 and J-6. If you need to connect to 5-Pin MIDI, all Roland uses "TYPE-A" TRS MIDI, so you can use a BMIDI cable from BOSS.
Hi Ave I just received my J-6 yesterday and even after looking through the manual I'm not quite sure how you are getting the sounds from the J-6 into the SP? Is that the 3.5mm going into the SP via 1/4 inch stereo cable? I thought it might be possible just using USB C to USB C but yeah that doesn't seem to work and the TSR to TSR for midi is working. Any help in this would be appreciated!
Hey, I really appreciate your video! I try to do the same setup but impossible to hear the j6 in midi. Maybe a wrong setup in the midi files. Could you help me please?
Do you feel like the variations on the j6 are similar to the styles on the verselab? I'm only interested in the t8 for the acid capabilities. The chords and such seem cool on the j6 as a controller but I don't know about such a small brain
Question.....is it possible to set the j-6 to a specific scale? I'm coming from a scenario in which I'm making a track in A minor (for example) and I want to add harmonies, melodies in that same A minor scale. Can I set the j-6 to a scale like that? thank you....
Did you ever find an answer to this? I see a lot of us asking this question in different places online, but nobody seems to have found an answer. I don't understand why this thing would crank out chords but not tell us the scale we are in so we can match sales or sounds from other devices.
Im glad Ave has started to get into disco house, will be interesting to see his expert mpc skills applied to a new genre. The big question is Ave going to take the red or blue pill when it comes to making pop or underground house(This refers to engineering the music for the 2nd state)
Let me know if you want more best gear combo video's
We do!
Could you do one with the Cirklon sequencer?
Pin din......that was right....kinda.
MIDI 5-Pin Din
We know what you meant.
I like that you explain how everything is hooked up so the viewer doesn't have to pause and try and figure it out
Great video! Super helpful! And great vibes!
Cats are really feeling those little Roland pieces. Seemed like a gimmick but you got me looking at them a little different
Oh man this is awesome I have a J6 arriving in a few days gonna make sure my MKII is dusted off and ready to rock with it. ✊🏻

This is incredible
Those are really good video you should have hooked up the PT 1 turntable and dust and scratches on there too that's good video
Good idea

This is better. The mpc doesnt need it.

☕☕☕Let's get it!!
Very confused on how you synced the j6 to the 404 bpm for the bassline towards the end? Just number matching and pressing play at the same time?
Can u create custom chords on j6
What midi cords you using to run midi out to the 404?
How do you sync midi to the 404 from j6?
🔥 🔥 🔥
🙏🏾
Can you please tell us the midi cord that works. I’m waiting on my J6 to get here this week and I want to be ready with the cables.

@@DustinGoodChannel thanks! I wasn’t sure if it was a special kind of TRS cable. Thanks for answering!

thank you so much
nice

Can you do the Roland J-6 & SP404 MKII with the MPC live 2
I did Mpc one and j-6 video last Friday
Whats the difference between roland j6 and the S1?
chord wave
Do you feel like the variations on the j6 are similar to the styles on the verselab? I'm only interested in the t8 for the acid capabilities. The chords and such seem cool on the j6 as a controller but I don't know about such a small brain
The J-6 chords are a billion times better than the verse lab’s progressions
