Roland AIRA Compact P-6 Sampler

I wanted to use this as an old school sampler, not as a daw in a box which kind of seems to be all the rage nowadays, and in that way, it has surpassed those which were my expectations for a sampler of this size / price range.

Sure it takes some fiddeling and plenty of menu diving sometimes to achieve results, but it all ends up paying off. The thing sounds great !

I find it’s worthy digging into this piece of gear and getting to know it in-depth, referencing the manual proves essential to be able to establish workaround methods regarding some of its quirks and just general functionality at first; but ultimately mostly becomes intuitive.
