I have the T-8 and J-6. If I’m honest I’ve only used the J-6 once since I got it in June. I really need to spend more time with it. It sounds great, but I was mostly planning on using it as a midi chord sequencer, need to try hooking it up to my other gear. The sequencer seemed a bit quirky to me on first try, will probably take some practice to get the best out of it.

  Really enjoying it now after a few days with it. The chord sets are really well put together. I’ve been using it standalone so far and I want to try it as a MIDI controller but I’m not sure what is the correct MIDI adapter to buy. Any advice?

    The MIDI adapters that come with the Elektron Model series are Type A so will work with the Roland T-8, J-6 and E-4. You can buy them on their website.

      Thanks, I just ordered a couple. I also found that Roland (Boss) sell a TRS MIDI Type A cable but it’s quite long for my needs (1.5m) so prefer to get the adapter.

It’s worth having a copy of the manual handy if only for the chord set list. There’s a ton of chord progressions available. Literally! Great little box of tricks
