No matter which style of music you’re making, ideas can come from anywhere. So having an additional pattern-generating synth or a tasty effects pedal can do wonders for your creativity. Let’s take a closer look at the offers available:
Roland AIRA Compact S-1
It may be small but the AIRA S-1 is a 4-voice polyphonic synth that packs plenty of features into a lightweight and portable desktop module. Apart from basic analogue-style waveforms, you can also alter oscillators with chop mode or draw waveforms manually.
In addition, the S-1 has modulation options and a 64-step pattern sequencer with motion recording. Once you add the onboard effects into the game, it certainly provides a good source of inspiration without spending a fortune.
