Im thinking of getting myself and my kids a couple of the Roland Aira Compacts for making beats.
In particular the T-8 drum machine and the J-6 Chord machine.Been watching tutorials on both and they look pretty much pick up and play, I reckon even my youngest at 7 could wrap his head around how to program some beats.
Anyone using them?
Will be selling my Sp404 to fund getting them.
Its a box I have used very basically, way too rtfm needed to get going with that thing.- Don’t feel bad.. have owned 2 404 in my time and keep failing to connect . Find a cheap second hand digitakt ..autoflavour

- only vaguely complex thing about the roland compacts is you need the settings menu for some sound options and its not immediately clear what the fuck they meankingsteven
- on the tiny screen, like this on the T8:
