The Korena take
This three-unit AIRA Compact set puts synth design, rhythm programming, and chord sequencing within reach of the same setup. S-1 handles custom waveform work, performance tools, and 64-step sequencing, including MIDI note and CC transmission. T-8 supplies a six-part rhythm section based on TR drum sounds plus a TB-303 bass line. J-6 turns one-touch chord selections from 100 chord sets into progressions, patterns, and accompaniment. A protective slip cover comes with the bundle.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Programming drums, bass, chords, and synth material as separate parts of an electronic composition.
- Using J-6 to create accompaniment or send chord information onward to MIDI equipment.
- Traveling with compact battery-powered units that charge through USB.
