Any J-6 users here? I just received mine and spent tonight trying to figure it all out. I might actually need to read the manual for once! 😂

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

I wanted to test out the polling/voting function and thought what better question to ask than...
What is your favourite TB-303 clone?4 Comments-

Not my favorite (Roland TB-03) but the one i own. I would have to test them all to define my favorite :p

I’ve tried quite a few. Currently have the TD-3 and TB-03, but use the Boutique most as it has midi cc’s. I think the TD-3 sounds better though, especially the accent!

I realised I left the new Roland T-8 off this list which, having used side by side with the T-8, I actually think sounds more authentic. The accent behaviour seems improved. It also responds to PCM messages to change patterns in sync with your other gear which I don’t think any other TB-303 clones can do? It doesn’t respond to midi CC’s though, like the TB-03. Hopefully they’ll add that then it’ll be perfect.

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.
