Roland AIRA Compact J-6 Chord Synthesizer

The Roland AIRA Compact J-6 Chord Synthesizer puts legendary JUNO synth tones and an ingenious chord sequencer in your pocket. Generate soul-stirring chord progressions and grooves in seconds to spark new musical ideas anytime, anywhere. This innovative gadget gives musicians of all levels a portable wellspring of creativity.

Choose From 100+ Genre-Spanning Chord Sets

With a vast array of chord sets tailored to styles from pop and rock to jazz and EDM, you'll never run out of fresh harmonic fuel. Simply select a set and craft chord progressions on the fly using one-touch pads—no music theory needed. Send chords to other MIDI gear or use the J-6's synth engine and effects to build fully fledged backing tracks.

Move and Groove With Rhythmic Arpeggios and Phrases

Infuse your chords with movement using the J-6's arpeggio and style variations. Sweeping arpeggios, rhythmic strumming and percussive phrases transform static chords into compelling grooves at the touch of a button. Engage the hold function to keep patterns playing as you experiment with different sounds and textures.

Craft Complete Songs With the Intuitive 64-Step Chord Sequencer

Once you've devised a chord progression, use the J-6's sequencer to build it into a full song structure. Quickly enter chords, single notes, style variations and tempo changes across 64 steps per pattern and 64 patterns total. Tweak filter, envelope and effects settings in real time as your sequence plays back through the iconic JUNO-60 synth engine.

Expand Your Creative Possibilities With Connectivity

The J-6 interfaces with other AIRA gear like the T-8 Beat Machine and E-4 Voice Tweaker, as well as DAWs, MIDI keyboards and more via USB-C or MIDI ports. Back your chord progressions with drums and bass, add vocal textures or incorporate the J-6 into a larger studio or live setup. A lithium-ion battery provides up to 4.5 hours of cordless creativity.
