ROLAND P-6 vs. THE LIMITS ❄️ UK Garage Train Jam | Jamuary 2026
video upload by jAUF BezDebat
"Pushing the Roland Aira Compact P-6 to the absolute edge while rolling through a snowy winter landscape. No more excuses about 'limited gear'—we’re mashing up the constraints and turning them into features. Seen?
[The Session] This is a high-speed UK Garage & Bassline session recorded live on a train. The P-6 might be small, but we’re squeezing every bit of juice out of its sample memory using custom hacks and workflow tricks.
Pay attention to the Ragga MC commentary—I’m shouting out technical specs, signal flow, and P-6 shortcuts instead of the usual hype. Watch the snowy window for lyrics and keep an eye on the screen for text-based tips on how to master the P-6 live.
[Workflow Secrets]
The 'Kit' Strategy: Prepare your samples as a kit so you can slice them and have more control. This way, you can access any part of the riddim and even combine multiple kits inna one beat.
Bank Management: Set strict rules for which sample types go into each bank. This allows you to mute banks live and keep the session flowin' smooth.
Old School Logic: Actually, it’s nuh ridiculous, seen? Short sample time was a typical limitation inna UK Garage origins because of the gear capabilities back inna di day. We’re just bringing that energy to the P-6.
[Gear & Community] Special thanks to the brands and family keeping the inspiration high:
Hardware: Roland Aira Compact P-6
[Join the Family] If you’re a P-6 head or just love gear-torture sessions, hit that Like and Subscribe. Tell me in the comments: What’s the one P-6 limitation that drives you crazy? Let’s find a hack for it!
Upfull vibes and happy Jamuary! ๐น❄️"

Synthstrom Deluge // Laid back beat
video upload by Dexba
"I can never say no to a lo-fi beat on the Deluge; it has this distinct sound quality that invites me to keep it softer and relaxed (it must be the Boards of Deluge presets too).
The Arpeggiator functions are just so cool, especially with the current 1.3 firmware, where I can use the four buttons under the screen to navigate through the menu pages.
But the firmware being still in beta also meant for some reasons the Swing function wasn't working on this project, and being a quick jam during #jamuary I didn't have time to troubleshoot the situation ๐
That's on me though, there is really nothing bad to say about the Deluge as an instrument and a community around it. Will 2026 be the year I become more comfortable with its many functions?
Proceeding slowly but steadily :)
Chase Bliss Clean is there for a little bit of gentle polish (I know the Deluge already has a compressor, but since I got it in the Mystery Box last year, I am trying to leverage it more ahah), and Generation Loss mk2 is probably the pedal I use the most with the Deluge, exactly because what I was saying in the beginning: enhancing the lo-fi, laid back approach.
I hope you'll like it! ๐งก
