Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. Roland is the ACME corporation of music technology: no day passes without me finding out about yet another strange product from the colossal portfolio they built up over the last 5 decades.

Today we are going to talk about P-6 and it seems like Roland took every single bit of sampling technology from this poison cabinet of intellectual property and put it in this LoFi sampler for ants.

I was not prepared for how different the intro was gonna sound compared to every other bad gear episode.

[TheSnowLeopard]

Roland's straight to Bad Gear pipeline going strong.

[djkanyon]

Not surprisingly, this was the best review of P-6 on the Internets! Such a great job.

[JustPyroYT]

Thank you Roland for tirelessly providing new gear for this show. ❤

[Scyber_Official]

A video about a Roland product that's 9 minutes and 9 seconds.
I see what you did!

[VIRALBEATS]

"Roland is the Acme Corporation of music technology"

Great line! Haha.

[HotraOfficial]

This man always pops up in my head whenever a new music gear is announced

[pfhrmb]

Abstract downtempo jam at the end is so cool.

[donaldpriola]

In these uncertain times, your videos offer laughs, relief, and great music. Thank you!

[SunshineVRC]

I can never tell if I should be ashamed of my favorite device being on Bad Gear or not. Admittedly, every episode feels like a giant advertisement for said gear, so I can't be too wrong, right?

Love my little P-6, the granular engine alone has upped my Chill-hop game because it's the only genre my pea-sized brain can begin to orchestrate.

[MOSMASTERING]

What a channel.. 😂
Thanks man, this solid gold comedy is right up my street and keeps me going in a difficult career.

[ouatedephoque]

Yo ! The last jam deserves at least a 3 minute finished track !

[liamwrites]

I agree with the criticisms, but I love this little box. Perfect companion piece for the S1 and a Circuit. I've even taken to capturing raw oscs to use for BoC-inspired nonsense.

[boeiend]

oh Roland, you even give us all the menu diving hell features from 90s obscure samplers with the P6 ❤

[Rompler_Rocco]

We are truly living in the golden age of something. I probably should have thought about that sentence first.

[PushDaButtonMan]

A big shout-out to BAG GEAR for the brilliant review of the Roland P-6! Your insights and dedication to gear reviews continue to set a standard that's as sharp as your humor. Always appreciate the passion and precision you bring to your content. Keep reigning supreme in the kingdom of memes, my friend. Big hugs and keep pushing the boundaries!

[peterjessop]

This was better than I thought it would be.

[icareg]

Dude, I literally bought this an hour ago! Don't let me down!

[unclemick-synths]

This is sooo on my wishlist. It looks like it can deliver the old-school sampling that somehow my MPC One insists on making difficult. Great video as usual ❤
