However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Roland Aira Compact P-6 makes sampling quick and easy, wherever you are. The onboard mic is perfect for capturing sounds in any environment, and you can also use analog inputs or connect your smartphone via USB-C for even more options. Once you've got your sample, the P-6’s intuitive tools allow you to chop, rearrange, and organise them with ease. Step Sampling lets you build custom sound collections, and if you’re after a gritty edge, the P-6's lo-fi effects help you rough up your sounds.
Unlock new creative possibilities with the P-6’s granular sound design features. By isolating tiny moments in a sample, you can craft detailed sonic textures, using parameters like grain shape, head speed, and detune. This makes the P-6 a powerful tool for shaping your sounds, from subtle adjustments to creating entirely new soundscapes. Whether you're after clean tones or want to explore abstract sound designs, granular sampling opens up a range of creative paths. The straightforward control interface keeps things easy, with knobs and buttons that let you make big changes in real time.
The P-6's 64-step sequencer offers far more than traditional programming. Along with the basics, it includes advanced features like motion recording, probability, micro-timing, and off-grid sequencing. These tools give you the power to push your music in unexpected directions, adding randomness, complexity, and human-like timing to your beats. The Step Loop function allows for instant stutter effects, perfect for live improvisation. These deep sequencing options make the P-6 ideal for both performance and production, helping you create dynamic, evolving patterns with minimal effort.
Performers will love the array of hands-on effects that come built into the P-6. With classic effects like Vinyl Simulator, Lo-fi, and Scatter, plus new additions like DJFX Looper and Stopper, you can manipulate your sounds in real time. Each effect is designed for quick use during a set or in the studio, adding texture and variation without disrupting your workflow. Thanks to BUS FX routing, you can apply effects selectively to any sample, or set up independent reverb and delay for even more depth. The result is a highly flexible sound design tool that gives you complete control over how your music evolves.
Thanks to its USB-C connectivity, the P-6 is more than just a standalone sampler – it fits perfectly into your wider setup. You can easily pair it with other Roland AIRA Compact instruments, such as the T-8 Beat Machine or S-1 Tweak Synth, building a fully portable music-making ecosystem. The P-6 also streams directly to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop, meaning it’s a great tool for content creation and recording on the go. No drivers are required, so you can just plug in and start making music straight away.
