Fit 64 Drum Samples on ONE Pad – Roland P6 Sampler

In a recent tutorial, producer Robby Danksworth breaks down his innovative method for loading 64 drum hits onto a single pad of the Roland P-6. The idea came from a conversation in Discord, where users were discussing the P-6’s viability for live performance. Robby argues that while the P-6’s sample memory is often overlooked due to its structure, it actually offers surprising flexibility when used strategically.

He demonstrates how he organised and chopped drum samples in Ableton, then exported them and used Audacity to time-stretch and pitch-adjust the audio to fit within the P-6’s sampling limitations. Key takeaways include:

• Using mono to maximise sample time
• Avoiding clicks by carefully setting start/end points
• Chopping in the P-6 with up to 64 zones per pad
• Prepping your kit for live performance or production templates

Robby also emphasises that this workflow isn’t just for drums—it could be used for chords, vocals, or other sample-based setups.
