Have you always wanted to get those classic Roland synthesizer and drum machine sounds without breaking the bank or taking up loads of studio space? Well now you can with the Roland AIRA Compact series!

In this video, Meg is joined by David Åhlund from Roland at the world-famous Metropolis Studios in London. They take a deep dive into all four models in the AIRA Compact range - S-1 Tweak Synth, T-8 Beat Machine, J-6 Chord Synth and E-4 Voice Tweaker.

As you'll see and hear, all four AIRA Compacts can be connected and synced together - you can create full music tracks quickly and easily, and even remix and reimagine them on the fly!

These pocket-sized devices are each inspired by legendary Roland models of the past. Driven by the advanced Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology found in their top-line instruments, AIRA Compact delivers the real-deal sounds behind decades of hit music. Now you can create with the authentic voices of Roland icons, including TR rhythms, TB basses, SH-101 and JUNO synths, VT effects, and more.

All four AIRA Compact models are battery-powered, have USB-C connectivity and can be connected and synced to other MIDI devices. AIRA Compact invites you to start making music the instant you power up. With friendly controls, inspiring sounds, and loads of creative tools, you can quickly turn simple ideas into off-the-cuff masterpieces!

Stow one in a pocket or backpack and compose on the go. Mix and match them for busking, club performing, and livestreams. Or use them as high-quality sound generators and input devices for larger-scale performances and computer music production.
