Swift sampling.

Whether using the built-in mic, analog inputs, or a smartphone via USB-C, the P-6 is always ready to sample at a moment’s notice. After capturing sounds, quickly chop longer samples into preset sections for triggering from the onboard keyboard. Or easily build custom collections of multiple sounds with streamlined Step Sampling. Want to rough up the sound? Get gritty with our trademark lo-fi effects. Need some layers? Resample your creations to add depth and evolving complexity.

Get granular.

Step into a universe of microscopic sound design with the advanced granular sampling tools in the P-6. Transform tiny moments into sonic landscapes with extensive sound design parameters. Detune samples, adjust the grain shape, play with head position, head speed, spread, and more. From clean and pristine to beautifully mangled, it’s easy to conjure new sound dimensions with a twist of a knob or a press of a button.

Supercharge performances and production with an array of curated, hands-on MFX. Transform and manipulate your sounds with legendary effects and a selection of new classics. Grab and go with favorites like Vinyl Simulator, DJFX Looper, Stopper, Lo-fi, Scatter, Phaser, and Resonator. Using BUS FX routing, selectively apply MFX or assign delay and reverb independently to any sample.

P-6 SampleTool.

The P-6 SampleTool software for macOS and Windows is a handy companion for editing and transferring samples from your computer to the P-6. Clean up clicks with snap to zero, truncate to remove unwanted sections, normalize to standardize audio levels, and downsample for reduced sample resolution. When you’re ready, simply drag and drop the samples directly to the P-6 hardware for seamless integration and playback.

Connect with the world.

The P-6 is immensely fun as a standalone instrument but becomes even more powerful when connected to other devices. Build a portable creative ecosystem by linking with the S-1 Tweak Synth, T-8 Beat Machine, and other AIRA Compacts or gadget instruments. Take it further by streaming your entire gadget chain from the P-6 to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop over USB-C for content creation or easy integration with your favorite music software. The setup is plug-and-play, with no driver installation needed.
