This channel has given me such a fresh perspective on all this gear that just creates bloat. I went to visit my gran in the hospital the other day and you wouldn't believe how many machines she had plugged into her. Obviously I did the right thing and unplugged her from them all and plugged her into my 2004 MacBook Air. Freaked the nurse out until I showed her how to recreate some Roland rounds using free plugins
Yes, the manual very is good for that. What amuses me is that lots of musicians/creators slammed midi chords packs but Roland squeeze a modest one into the J-6 and they sell like 'hot cakes'. 😁
You helped my GAS therapy by providing a great alternative to the Roland SP404. I did order the Roland E-4 and this did not help me in deciding to cancel my order. That does not mean you did a bad job. That does not mean the options you provided can work.I still remain subscribed to your channel and gave this video a like and will share your channel with others that want free alternatives.
When I switched from 32bit Cubase running 16 hardware synths to 64bit Studio One last year, I discovered and began to explore the vast universe of VST plugins for the very first time in 30 years ofmaking music and playing synthesizers. It was kind of a shock when I pretty soon discovered that - with some curious will to research and experiment - you neither have to pay a single buck nor do anything illegal in order to produce music on a professional level. Ever since that eye-opening and game-changing experience I thought of going public with the things I had discovered. Now, one and a half years later, after having tried and tested approximately 800-1000 free plugins, I am working and having a lot of fun with an unbelievably versatile, 'complete' and great sounding collection of ca. 120 top tier synths and virtual instruments that cost absolutely nothing, with a 99€ DAW (didn't know Beats and Cakewalk when I got Studio One) running on a used 50€ Laptop and I am absolutely convinced that I have a lot more firepower and flexibility than any Fantom, Kronos, Op-1 or any other hardware-based setup you like. And the best thing is, that I need not do the cringe on social media that I was feeling obliged to, because since I discovered your excellent channel I know that the world is a much better place than it would be, if I was trying to do what you are doing so much better than I could ever dare to dream of :-) Thumbs up! Keep on rockin' :-) #gasisathing #addictionawareness #freeplugins
I started with software, and recently I've been getting into hardware. It really is hard to justify any gear that is not for "workflow" purposes integrated with a DAW, and this honestly has been what keeps me from being tempted by new gear that seems to be a bit too steeply priced for what they offer i.e. the Airas compacts. I'm an absolute sucker for cheap, vintage, quirky, and mediocre though i.e. Bad Gear material. I enjoy this gear obsession of mine guilt free since it is all about the physicality, not about what it can do (or rather fails at).
Hi urs, but it is also fun to play in traun with the gadgets like volca or gaia 🤣 But what you say is true (since yesterday i have Roland S-1) 🙃🖖🏼 grüsse, Frank
While I appreciate your videos like these, I think a lot of people go towards these Roland Aira Compact units and things like Volca units because they want to get in to actual hardware and away from using a DAW or computer
I'm really enjoying these videos. I still think there's a certain workflow and fun factor that can't be replicated with a computer but you definitely provide some great resources.
you can do this on a screen-maschine (computer, mac), but also you have to! To be true: fiddling 3 h on a pc.. what I got, nothing more than 8 bars of boring looping stuff. So, lets do this in
This is SUCH a valuable channel. Simultaneously saving me money, kicking me up the ass for being a gear simp and providing great entertainment. The only piece of gear I'm going to buy now is a midi keyboard to hook up to my ableton live lite
You don’t pay for these for the Daw purpose. These are people who want to use them as instruments. It’s an art. And seeing someone live play these with them is pretty awesome.
Totally made me laugh, thank you! (ANd recognized myself in this…. I am in the throws of GAS and it’s starting to frustrate me. I love gear (the FEEL of those knobs, man!), but at the same time I am learning electronic music (and am not adept at keyboard playing) so it has become both a distraction AND confusion as to “what gear to learn first.” I think that the best counter arguement to your premise/objection is that specialized hardware synth creates a smaller “box” which limits what you can do (that also forces creativity within a smaller set of parameters). So that is a good thing. But not when, like me, you develop GAS and purchase a DAW, a thousand presets, 4 Roland Aira Compacts, a Novation Tracks, Rhythm, a midi keyboard, small mixer, recorder, audio interface, AND an Arturia Microfreak all within the space of a couple months. Oh yeah…. and a Launchpad Pro that’s sitting in a box. YIKES! I have GAS BAD! I need GAS Therapy! 😂 (P.S. Thank you for helping me recognize that…. I have a problem.)
You're right, Roland give-away their drum kit sounds (with tweakable parameters) and a ton of other classic sounds for free with Zenology Lite. I also use the free Drum Machine Selector Kit that I found in Ableton Live Lite's drum category. It allows you to select the 909, 808, 707, 606 etc with just a single click. Handy if you want to hear what your drum patterns sound like with different kits, without loading the kits individually. Keep up the good work. 🙂
"I just want to ... stay away from my friends and family." 😂 There's definitely some truth in that GASing leads to too much time spent on CZcams watching reviews. I agree with you that the tactile feel is important, that's why we buy gear. But there has to be a limit on just how much we are prepared to spend for extremely limited gear. These gadgets feel more like toys to me (except maybe E-4, which looks like a lot of fun). I keep coming back to the MPC as the perfect example of bang for the buck, sufficient tactility and few unnecessary limitations. If you're GASing for too much, just get the MPC and learn how to use it. You won't need much else.
I appreciate your perspective. I believe the Aira products are designed to allow beginners the opportunity to easily navigate production. You’re approaching this from the perspective of an expert, who knows how to download and operate all of these plugins. You have years of knowledge behind your eyes. I, as a beginner would have to watch countless tutorials and experiment for countless hours to become adept with all of these plugins you are suggesting. That’s the value of this product. I do see your point that for those with the knowledge and experience, there is an opportunity to navigate music production for free - which is amazing!! Just not practical for a beginner.
Great point! But at the mean time, if one settled on these gears, they might stay much longer at their beginner level. If you really want to start with tiny groove boxes like this, I would recommend Korg Volcas over these, Volca has automation function, extremely vital for electronic music.
Hey Michael, I first was not very impressed by your speeches but I must admit you are not cheating and giving smart hints. A unforgivable failure of the J6 is it’s polyphony limited to 4 voice. A jazzy chord needs 5 voices, so is a no go. Keep up your good work.🎉
Thank you for all of your work and wisdom. You are definitely educating us mere mortals about the 'music machine makers' greediness and laziness! Peace ✌
Really loved every note of cynicism you threw into this vid Michael. I’m an analogue artist/musician trying enter electronic music production with the focus on being mobile and having a workflow ard the iPad (2020). This is the perfect Channel for me :). Thanks you!
I'm selling all my Volcas, as I work mostly in the box these days. IMO working in the box is actually easier and results in much less clutter. I'm going to put the money towards Yamaha HS5 studio monitors!
J-6 also has midi out in which you can sequence other hardware synths or soft synths with the chord sequencer or arp. Don’t think you can do that with ”songmine”
i really appreciate the critiques and advice you keep giving Michael, very inspiring, keep doing the lord’s work, hopefully someday our gear overlords will actually listen to what musicians and artists want/need
Michael is the best. I wasn't interested in these new Roland things, but every time I watch these videos I get very inspired. We should also send the track for a Grammy nominee position.
1 mouse = 1 cursor. That's one control at a time. I doubt any DAW has 2 independent cursors. There's a big plus for actual hardware. Besides buying and mapping an external controller how would you experiment with live tweaking multiple inputs simultaneously. A qwerty keyboard mapping? If only standard laptops came with a couple of rotary encoders or sliders.
Can you do one for hardware trackers? Like polyend and dirtywave m8. I haven't found a free tracker that i find as fun to interact with as the polyend or the m8
Mate, you're a gem. As I've said before, whether you like purchasing gear or not, this is an incredibly worthwhile channel to watch just for perspective. Thanks for what you do. Also, that last beat rules.
@@playpm ahh I thought they had a Mac version but they don't. Idk how WINE works with vsts on Mac but maybe that'd be a workaround. I'll keep looking lol.
Great video bro!! I'm new at this so don't mind if I ask some basic (stupid) questions. Is there a (cheap if possible) component that is only midi (like midi keyboard with no sounds) that can be connected to my pc and with this software you showed becomes beat machine? Some midi interface like Roland T8 or something similar? With free software you showed it would be great! Thanks for making this videos!
I assume you mean a DAW? Try Reaper first, it's free to start, if you have a midi keyboard then register the Ableton live lite included, it's more user friendly than Reaper, still good enough to go.
Thank you Michael to share your philosophy through those vidéos. There something wise to not gas and chasing the last tools thinking it ll make us better musician. It s a vue de l’esprit and a wrong path.
I got the cool drum kits on my iPad GarageBand I mean a 707 cool. I need to play and learn my Mac better . I think I have those drums. I think you should just point out computers are just better because the plug ins I payed for I am more likely to be used then hardware. I am going to use those smaller synths and drum machines. But when I am at practice I use the Mac and plug ins. And honestly sequencing is better on a computer.
You clearly missing the placement of the product. I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but it’s so much fun to take this little thing along in train or anywhere without needing to have another computer screen open again and again. Of course you can replicate Fotos with a smartphone of a dedicated camera too. And you can replicate a drawing with hand on photoshop too. The beauty is in the haptics. The beauty is to get away from screen addiction ! And yes it’s also a Maschine, but it’s a dedicated thing with analog buttons and that is great!
@@playpm why garageband, what makes it special? I stoped using it since some years, and have now gadget 2, cubasis, aum and many sfx and au3s. But it feels better wirh some knobs ( i have nanokey studio also). Actually many options ( i know 🤣)
Hi! Loved your video...I've always played the guitar and now I want to start doing somethings with synths and drums too...I'm between a Macbook or some compact hardware like the aira series (j6 + t8 + e4). I'm not into PRODUCING or RECORDING. I really wanna be able to jam by myself, "in real time", with multiple sounds, play some covers and compositions. I like Bon Iver/James Blake vocal style so Vocoder/Autotune/Harmonizer is essential...With the Mac option, will it really be possible to use these vocal effects in lives, jams and sessions without latency or delay issues? I'm not a computer expert and everytime I've tried to do something like that, even with more experienced people helping me, I couldn't really hear my voice with the effects in real time, and that's what's leaning me towards the hardware options. Hopefully you'll read this. Thank you anyway for all the great content!
Free Stutter FX solution is here:
dfx Buffer Override destroyfx.org
Still working on how to achieve the instant stutter, not delayed ones though.
DFX Skidder might be best for stutters. Buffer Override is good for Red Panda Particle emulations ;-)
TAL is so great, so many great free and paid VSTs. What a gem of a company.
Dblue glitch?
@@CausticCatastrophe I totally agree, I purchased tal drum and Tal sampler they were so cheap. Those are game changers for me.
The tb Cairo vst is a great stutter too I use it all the time for effects.

For the J-6 Roland has been so kind to write all the chord sets in the manual, making it easy to copying them into the DAW. Thank you Roland.
Yes, the manual very is good for that. What amuses me is that lots of musicians/creators slammed midi chords packs but Roland squeeze a modest one into the J-6 and they sell like 'hot cakes'. 😁

Yeah the worst part imo I'd not being able to touch knobs physically which is annoying, thank god for midi keyboards to mitigate this a lil but.
