Manufacturer's description
Programmable sequencer with 100 chord sets
Spanning a wide range of genres, the J-6 provides you with 100 chord sets so you can pick and choose the vibe you want – even with zero music theory! The wide array of chord sets on offer makes it easy to translate your ideas into music or create accompaniments for live performances. The powerful sequencer provides you with 64 patterns, each with 64 steps so you can create loops and sequences with variations, tempo changes and much more. With a range of style banks and variations on offer; the J-6 makes it easier than ever to translate chords into rhythmic melodies and add a dynamic flair to your sequences.
Hands-on controls with effects and more
Part of the creative process is being able to capture your inspiration when it strikes. With the J-6, you can easily create sequences and ideas thanks to the intuitive design and tactile controls on offer. Inject some colour into your sounds using the onboard reverb and delay effects or use the envelope and filter to sculpt your sound further and in real-time. You can even incorporate arpeggios and rhythmic phrases with nine different styles to choose from.
Iconic Roland sounds via ACB technology
As well as the newly introduced engine, the J-6 also features the legendary Juno-60 synth engine. Get all the iconic sounds from the iconic Juno-60 units via cutting-edge Analog Circuit Behaviour technology (ACB). ACB technology was developed specifically to enable the user to authentically recreate the sound and behaviour of classic analog synthesizers and drum machines. The ACB engine provides expressive and diverse sound with incredibly realistic characteristics, capturing every nuance of the Juno-60 synth engine.
The legendary sound of the Juno
Helping to define the sound of the '80s, the J-6 delivers the unmistakable character of vintage Roland synthesizers to your DAW. Capable of producing fat, punchy analog sounds through a formula of a single DCO, sub-oscillator and characterful VCF, the J-6 gives you indistinguishable, hi-fi and inspiring tones to level up your music production.
Portable design with versatile connectivity
Designed for musicians and performers on the go; the Roland Aira J-6 features a highly compact design that will fit in your lap and be stored easily within most backpacks. Play and perform wherever you go thanks to the built-in Lithium-ion battery, which provides up to 4.5 hours of playback from a full charge. Not only that but the housing of the beat machine is constructed using robust materials to ensure a durable enclosure. Roland has also used high-quality components throughout the manufacturing process including premium-quality rubber pads for the various controls, ensuring a long lifespan.
The rear panel of the Aira Compact J-6 features a wide variety of connection options including audio, MIDI and sync I/O, as well as an AIRA Link port for connecting multiple Aira Compact units together.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
