Hahawell it is a very tidy and portable little package, good to use on its own, and handy as a little midi device. The build quality is pretty nice, feels a bit like a decent game pad, buttons feel pretty solid.
I purchase the T-8 and the J-6. Quite happy with both ! They sound great imho. For multi-pattern tracks, i use my MC-101 or my Model:Cycles to send program changes via MIDI, thus obtaining pattern chaining ability.
Can anyone with a J-6 shed some light on this: how does it work in practice as a chord progression idea generation device? I see that it has a number of chord presets for different genres, but not sure how you combine them in practice. Does it lend itself to explorations of new chord combinations or does it invite you to simply follow the preset progressions?
However, these are one trick ponies, and are IMHO well designed to do just the thing they do, nothing more. There are a few quirks and omissions and just a couple of odd design decisions, maybe some of the omissions and quirks will be addressed in a firmware update.
For a portable, handy chord generator the J-6 is pretty cool, the sequencer is very akin to the JX3p sequencer, it can be used for single notes as well as arps/chords, and can be set to different resolutions.
