PRO TIP:Each step has its own preset, but if you want to change the preset for a given step: 1. Press Pattern button. 2. Select the step(from sequencer) you want to change. 3. Press Sound button. 4. Select ANY sound from the 64 provided presets. 5. Press Pattern button. You now have the sound you want in the selected step slot. You're welcome.

FYI: Shortcut to change step length in Pattern/step sequencer mode( instead of menu diving and going to "Beat" setting ) is to hold down Pattern button and turn Tempo/Value knob so you can change on the 🪰. Bzzzz!

The J-6 is also a class compliant midi/audio interface which means it works on iPad/iPhone with GarageBand and other mobile DAWs like Cubasis, Drambo, etc. This makes the J-6 and any iPhone a pretty capable and very portable setup. Ironically, the only DAW it has an issue with is Zenbeats - it doesn’t sync properly…

The biggest limit I've run into with the J-6 is that you can't change Genre with the Midi Program Change command. That means you have to stop what you're doing to change to the next genre. Probably fine for some people, but kills it for the workflow I am trying to create.

Why in the chord sets (PDF), does each set have 12 chords listed horizontally? I would have expected there to be the typical I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII chords (i.e. 7 in total) & to trigger these using the 7 x white keys only and not use the black keyboard keys at all. And looking at the PDF, how do you know what key each of the 4 rows is in for say 1 Pop, horizontal row 1 of 4 in total? For example, the far left chord is E4. Does that mean the key is E major given this is the I chord?

What's the main difference between the J6 and the JU-06A? Does the JU-06A just provide additional sound sculpting capability? It looks like the JU-06A also has 64 preset sounds (like the J6), so I'm assuming that they are the same sounds as on the J6. Does the J6 do anything the JU-06A can't do? I believe the JU-06A has a sequencer, arrpegiator, and also has a chords function. Wondering how the two units compare, because I have heard that the new S1 Aira Compact can do almost everything that the SH-01A can do but also do additional things the SH-01A can't.
