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

In case anyone didn’t know, Roland just updated the TR-8S / TR-6S to fix the freezing bug they introduced in the 1.5 firmware update. Here’s the download links.

What’s your current DAWless setup?
I’m currently using the Syntakt as the brain, with the Digitakt, SH-01A and Roland T-8. I don’t have much space at the moment so this is nice and compact. I sometimes connect a Keystep 37 to record arps and generate random patterns, it’s great for that.

Nice setup. That’s really all you need. I’m currently using TR-8S (upgraded pretty quick after buying the 6S as I wanted more tracks), along with the Syntakt and a Bass Station 2.

I’m using the Elektron Model Cycles / Samples, the Roland T-8, and an iPad running Drambo with various iOS synths at the moment. Thinking about adding a Roland JX-03 or JU-06A or another poly synth.

I’m just using Syntakt and Digitakt together at the moment. I also have a Model Samples that I use on the couch.

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.
