While watching this video I heard a slam at the back door, and when I checked, I saw my Volca Sample walking down the garden path with a packed suitcase!

[NoisyMachines]

Wow, Roland! The P-6 looks like a game changer. The combination of granular synthesis, the Elektron-ish sequencer and the sampling possibilities with a built-in mic in a portable device is Incredible. I'm already imagining the creative possibilities in the top of the hill creating music with that little beast!

[ImplosiveCatt]

I've been looking for a budget friendly live sampler FOREVER! Ran out of hope until now <3

[fredicagoillanoise]

Love the product and mine should be arriving tomorrow. The only feature I'd love to see added in the near future is the ability to tweak start and end points for each chop.

[iamthetinkerman]

Can we get some more in depth tutorials of the P6 please 😊

[lorenzopoluzzi]

Waiting for so long for the evolution of the Roland MS-1... and here it is !

[gregoryallen]

Im going to watch this video about hundred times. Thank you so much for your help. My mind is blown on what this little machine in front of me can do.

[ilikespacedinosaurs]

FINALLY an affordable granular hardware synth, gonna get this just for the granular stuff, hell yes

[JoeHensson]

Wow. At this price tag, they went really far on the feature side. It seems pretty straight forward to use, at least on the main features. Instant order for me.

[jumpstar]

I love it. Super cool the USB integration by the way.

[Han_Moz]

Aira is literally the gear im most excited to hear news about alongside with arturias stuff

Peak music gear, but i need to get a bigger bag to carry more than 4 of thise

[lukeimontv]

I am so happy that they went with a drag and drop option for importing samples that really sells this unit for me!

[Yoni]

I bought this before watching this video. Now I feel my head is going to explode. I need to go yell at clouds now.

[krazywabbit]

I'm a fan the experience I get from the other four compacts. Excited to add this to my toolbox. Thanks!

[kaydoubleyou]

It’s great that all the MFX from the SP 404 MK2 are included. 🎧🙂

[johnnytrash]

Literally bought day one. Had been debating the SP-404 but I love little devices that can do big things.

[samprock]

What are the plans for pattern chaining or a song mode? Whole device is one project with 48 fixed samples right? If I change sound on pad 1 in Pttn1 will it change sound on pad 1 on Ptrn2? If not can set so it does? TNX!

[bjamminsincebirth]

Roland should make a iOS and Android app for loading sounds. That would make this process of loading samples even faster.

[bigupz]

I have this and it’s gonna break my head getting to terms with all these features 😂
