(I arranged furthermore this melody in the MC-101 here :
• Bigkik - Hypnotica (Ro... )
In this video, the J-6 is mainly used to sequence the bassline of the T-8. The sequence itself only needs 16 steps, but is equivalent to a 16 bar pattern thanks to the style/variation and beat parameters :
- style/variation : 2-3,
- beat : 4
I did not use the chord library and designed custom arpeggios of 3 notes based mainly on the phrygian scale of C :
C - C# - D# - F - G - G# - A#
(i used also a D and a E)
Original creation by Bigkik
All sounds from the J-6 and the T-8 without post-treatment. Recorded live with my phone using a behringer uca-222 audiointerface and the "open camera" Android app.
For French speakers ; Knarf just released a complete overview of the Aira compact trio here :

Check it out !
That sounds totally fabulous. Well done sir! I’m going to have to have a play about with this. 👍🏻
Ahhhh, you’re using the the J6 sequencer to sequence the TB sound, very smart! Sounds great ❤️
Thank you ! The j-6 sequencer is great on its own !
I didn't figure that out until this comment, and was confused what was going on. That is indeed very smart
Me too - great solution and very inspiring! Many thanks for sharing and I totally loved the track too :)
Thank you !
Just getting both of these machines. Can anyone explain how to use the J6 as the sequencer for the T8?
This is beautiful. You're quite an artist.
You're right, that was hypnotic. Was vibing away while working !
Thank you !
This is arena filling sounds, im raving away listening to this🙂🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you ! I was also "raving" recording this !
best ive heard from these machines
Thank you !
@@bigkik to elaborate, this piece of music actually managed to spark emotions in me, unlike most of the other soulless 4 to the floor jams
@p504504 to be honest, while composing it, it struck me too. It is the power of music I believe...
Amazing as usual!!!
Thank you. I must confess that i really like this track :-)
Really nice, thanks for sharing !
Brilliant work on this Big !
Thank you !
Crazy! Well done. 🤯
Thank you !
Great jam as usual !
Thank you !
Booom thats kissed my ears! 🙏
Hello and welcome. Glad you found my channel ! I love yours too !
Sounds good! Big sound out of a small package!
Thank you ! I really love this track !
Clean! Killer sesh.
Thank you !
Sounds great!
Amazing how Roland could pack so much into such a compact package.
I have these too, and am enjoying them very much.
Have a great day, and best wishes for your continued success.🎃🎃🎃
Thank you ! Yes i was surprised myself. Enjoy making music !
This is pretty rad!
Thank you !
Sick! Love it
Thank you !
So good
Thank you !
super cool :D
Super taf, comme d'hab !! 💪👍👍😃
Merci
Also very cool!
That's great, you just earned a subscriber! 😉
Thank you !
@@bigkik Sneaky yet brilliant use of the J-6.... makes me want quite a bit more!
@@avhdb3 stay tuned !
Release this, its a proper banger!
Thank you, I really like this one, and I believe it has some potential.
Nice 👌🏻
Thank you ! I struggled for many days to make a trancey track and "boom", the melody came up this afternoon :-)
I thought you were cooking up something, you hadn’t posted as often as usual.
Worth the wait 😁👍
I try to post as often as possible, but i prefer quality over quantity !
@@bigkik Amen to that
Having most of the Volcas the one thing obviously missing from Roland is the noise ;-) If these are not processed later on, then they do sound pretty clean. Superb.
Indeed :-) I have also most of the Volcas ! I always record "live" without post processing. Apart from YT compression, this is what you could expect from these !
Great to see how much you've improved! If you plan on doing a cover sometime soon, I highly suggest go by moby, a semitone higher if possible.
Thank you. I began yesterday working on a MC-101 version ; might try your suggestion:-)
Oh BTW, I don't really care on what you make it on, I just want you to have some fun! Maybe combine a few!
@@SonicgoalieActualhockeygoalie I have only understood now that you mentionned "go" by moby... I thought you were speaking of the track i made...
"Go" is a great track though, as "LFO" and other bangers of those (now ancient) times :-)
@@SonicgoalieActualhockeygoalie SG 1235 also checkout Nitilit Dax channel with the T-8...i think you will be happily shocked.
💥💥💥💥💥🤩
I like this sound and try to mimick it ☺
I'm stuck with "sequencing the bass with the J6", could you please detail how you do it ?
I'm beginner with J6 + T8 and need a very simple step by step to understand ♥
Big thx !
Thanks ! You need :
- to set both the J-6 and the T-8 bassline on the same Midi channel,
- connect a trs/trs cable from the J-6 Midi out to the T-8 Midi in.
It should work. Let me know if not !
@@bigkik That works !
And thx for the lightning fast answer 😘
@@ThomasBaijot you are welcome ! (On peut si besoin se parler en français une prochaine fois :-) )
I wish the t8 had 64 steps Or pattern chaining its ok doing ir by hand but when your changing patterns and muting drums for the next pattern coming in can be pretty fiddly hope they give it a pattern chaining update
Totally agree, 64 steps would be a great improvement and/or pattern chaining.
Sounds like you're playing the same sequence on the J-6 as on the T-8, just with the J-6 volume turned down and the T-8 baseline follows that? Then you can turn the J-6 volume up and down as you change the sounds on it?
Yes exactly !
Great session! i've read the description but I don't get how the J6 can control the T8 bassline for 16bars, since the only cable i can see is for audio signal from T8 to J6.... what did I missed?
Hello,
No magic, the J-6 sequences alone the T-8.
The "beat" parameter of the J-6 can be set from "1/4" up to "8". In 4/4 for each step :
- 1/4 : 1/16th of a bar
- 1 : 1/4 of a bar
- 4 : 1 bar
- 8 : 2 bar
In this track, the beat is set to 4 and has 16 steps. So the melody is equivalent to a 16 bar pattern if I had to write every notes.
The strength of the J-6, appart from the beat parameter, is the style/variation feature.
In this case, i used arpeggios ("2-3") :
- On step 1, i put 3 notes,
- On steps 2 to 4, i activate "hold".
This way, i obtain an arpeggio of these 3 notes on 4 bars.
Let me know if you get it.
@@bigkik thanks for your answer, i think i get it, thanks. And now i want a J6 :)
I have got the J-6 and the MC-101, and the J-6 is really easier to sketch melodic ideas quickly ! Highly recommended !
@@bigkik thanks for sharing your XP!
Wow are you able to show us how to recreate this step by step ? Its wonderful
Thank you. I have just recreated the main pattern on the J-6 to sequence the S-1 ; it is a good idea to show how it is done ; stay tuned !
