Hey guys, I'm Ken.

Welcome to my channel,

Forever Procrastinating.

This channel is a

space where we talk

about creativity, productivity, music,

mental health, weird

stuff, more music, gear,

me, everything.

Well, basically a lot.

And outside of YouTube,

I'm also known by

Midnight Savari.

And I also run

an audio production service

called Mockular Studio.

If you guys want

to check it out,

it's all in the

description box.

Okay, if you came

from my shorts, this

is the video.

So we're going to

jump in and talk

about the Roland P6.

Oops.

Ah, what's the next

part?

For the past month,

I've been really diving

into the Roland P6.

And it has its

pros and cons and

quirks.

Personally, for me, I've

been loving the quirks.

It's a kind of

weird device like other

Roland Aira devices.

They are very menu

-divy, but at the

same time, they offer

a ton of features.

But honestly, it's becoming

one of my favorite

recent gear.

For me, at least,

it's a sampler, drum

machine, and ultimately a

music sketchpad.

It's battery-powered, it

has internal mic, it

has internal effects, and

it's super portable.

It's like really portable.

You can fit it

in my hat like

that.

Sorry, that's not funny.

So I've been really

squeezing the features for

the Roland P6.

And I've used both

for production and live

jams.

Here's a preview of

my recent remix using

the P6 as a

main drum machine.

So the basic idea

is, if you follow

Roland's template format or

template pads, you only

get about 8 banks,

which roughly translates to

8 drum kits.

But since one pad,

you can fit a

lot of sounds, so

the idea is to

cram in several sounds

into one pad and

kind of make different

drum kits.

So if you apply

that system and really

push the Roland P6

memories, I think you'll

get about 32 drum

kits.

That's a lot.

So with my current

setup, I have 9,

which includes the Roland

707, 808, 909,

a Lindrum, Oberheim DMX,

the Roland CR-78,

the Korg KR-55,

and a Roland R

-8.

With these kits,

I have 6 space

left, and you can

use that to basically

record everything.

For me, it's tight,

but it works.

You can use 2

for vinyl recording, and

just leave 2 empty

for recording anything.

So here are the

iconic and legendary drum

kits that I have

loaded into the Roland

P6.

By the way, at

the end, I will

share every drum sample

in the description box.

Anyway, we're gonna go

through the drum kits.

Now the first one

is the TR-707.

The synth sounds obviously

is not from the

drum kits.

It is from the

MicroFreak that I have

pre-recorded into the

Roland P6.

If you want to

preview the individual hits,

it's like this.

And the sub-bank

of the E, it's

the other hits of

the Roland TR-707.

So in essence, per

kit, you will have

12 hits.

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6.

And if you press

sub-bank E, you

will get to the

other hits of the

drum kits.

So that includes toms,

cowbells, extra percussions in

that drum kit.

So moving on next,

the TR-808.

So pattern number 2

is the TR-808.

This is where it

can be a bit

confusing.

So instead of dropping

the kits per pad,

which is pad number

1, I have inserted

8 kicks of different

drum kits.

I have a

list because I forgot.

So all of these

kicks are inside pad

number 1.

To listen to those

chops or those little

sections of the drum

kits, you can press

keypad to open the

chromatic keyboard.

Here is the kick

of the 808.

It's in the note

C-sharp.

This can be a

bit confusing, but if

you work around and

get familiar with it,

it's pretty much easy.

So if you press

keypad number 1, then

press C-sharp, it's

the kick for the

808.

And the snare, the

clap for the 808,

hi-hat, and of

course, the famous rimshot.

And I press the

sub-bank button again

to scroll over to

the next individual hits.

Which is the toms,

super low toms, and

of course, the famous

cowbell.

The ride.

So essentially, you'll get

a lot of essential

sounds of each drum

kits, which in this

case is the Roland

TR-808.

Okay, let's move on

to the next.

This is the TR

-909.

And I'm going to

play with the shuffle.

The next is the

Lindrum.

Moving on, next is

the Oberheim DMX.

The next is the

Roland CR-78, which

corresponds to the note

F.

Moving on to the

next one, is the

Korg KR-55.

Now, I really like

this drum kit.

It was used in

the track Clear, if

I'm not mistaken.

Now, moving on to

the next one, is

the Korg KR-55.

Moving on to the

last one, the Roland

R-8.

It's pretty popular in

the EBM or industrial

scene.

So yeah, that will

be all of the

drum kits.

So here is a

little note, and I'll

post this in the

description box.

So again, each drum

kit corresponds to the

note from C until

G.

And again, if you

want to audition the

hits, you can press

the chromatic keyboard, and

press the pad, and

press G.

So that's the kick

for the R-8.

Alright guys, I hope

this is not intimidating.

Please write in the

comments if you have

any questions.

Cheers!

If you're wondering if

you want to use

your own drum kits,

I especially have created

an Ableton drag and

drop template file, for

you to use to

drop your own drum

kits.

It's super easy, I've

already layout and organized,

and highlighted each section

of the drum hits.

So you basically just

need to drag your

own custom hits into

the layout.

In a minute, I'll

show you how the

project file works.

Alright guys, so here's

how this template works.

What you're looking at

is my custom drum

kit layout for the

Roland P-6.

And it's not your

standard setup.

Instead of assigning just

one kick to pad

1, I've loaded 8

different kicks, one from

each classic drum machine,

into a single Ableton

track, stacked vertically using

zones.

Zone 1 is for

707, Zone 2 is

for the 808, then

a 909, Linn Drum,

CR-78, R-8,

DMX.

It is important that

these zones are spaced

evenly, so the Roland

P-6 can chop

them cleanly when you

import.

And it doesn't stop

at kicks, each track

here corresponds to a

pad on the P

-6.

So kick is pad

1, snare is pad

2, clap is pad

3, all the way

up to pad 12.

The trick here is

instead of exporting 8

separate waves, we export

just one wave per

pad.

So solo pad 1,

the kick track, and

export that.

This one wave file

will contain all 8

kicks, spaced and formatted

to be automatically chopped

by the P-6.

Okay, so let's say

we're building pad 2,

the snares.

I just solo the

snare track in Ableton,

export that wave, and

now that single file

contains a 707 snare,

an 808 snare, a

909, Linn Drum, CR

-78, DMX, CR-55,

and the R-8.

When you drop that

file onto the pad

1 inside the Roland

P-6 software, it

will auto-chop the

kicks, and now you

have 8 kick sounds

inside a single pad.

I'll drag that wave

into the pad 2

in the P-6

editor, and boom!

You've got 8 snares

loaded.

You can rinse and

repeat this exact process

for claps, hats, toms,

effects, and percussions.

Basically anything you want.

You can drag and

drop and replace any

of my files in

the Ableton template file

with your own custom

drum hits.

Just make sure to

follow the layout I've

provided in the template

file so the Roland

P-6 will automatically

detect the chops.

By stacking sounds like

this, you're maximizing the

P-6 into 96

pad slots.

Instead of just using

12 sounds, you can

load 96 drum hits

and scroll through them

using the chop selector.

And with this template

file, it makes all

DEAD simple.

All you have to

do is drag and

drop your own sounds,

line them up in

zones, then export.

Alright guys, if you

already have the hang

of it, it's super

easy guys.

Just a quick reminder,

after you import the

kick file into pad

1, that single pad

now holds 8 kicks

in one audio file.

To activate the multichops,

hold shift, press voice,

scroll to chop, hit

enter, then set it

to 8, and press

exit.

The p6 will slice

that one file into

8 chops.

To preview them, just

press the chromatic keyboard

button.

Now you can audition

every chop across the

pad.

That means the 707,

808, 909, Lindrum, DMX,

CR-78, the KR

-55, and the Roland

R-8.

All inside one pad.

Easy.

So to sum up,

whether you're restoring my

full backup, or building

your own drum kits

with the Ableton template,

once the stem is

loaded, just enable multichop

mode, and you're ready

to jam.

All the files, instructions,

and templates are in

the description box.

And go nuts with

it guys.

Peace.

So to test this

drum kit, I'm gonna

bring this sampler into

random spaces, places, everywhere

I can bring it

basically.

Alright, let's go guys.

So yeah, this little

box is technically a

sampler, but it is

also a powerful drum

machine if you take

the time to really

push it.

But fair warning, there's

a huge caveat when

working with this workflow.

Changing the drum sounds

can be a huge

pain in the butt

because you cannot preview

the individual shots.

You literally have to

punch in a sequence,

then manually scroll and

assign each hit.

So basically you have

to change every individual

hit one by one.

I really do hope

Roland drops a firmware

update for this.

Still, for what it

offers at this price,

I personally think it's

absolutely worth it.

I could see myself

traveling with this in

the next 10 years

and just doodling with

it.

So yeah, I'll include

all the project files

and samples in the

download link below.

And if this video

helped you, please like,

drop a comment, and

subscribe.

I'm building this channel

for a space we

can share creativity and

yeah, basically share stuff

like this.

So yeah guys, I

hope this video is

helpful in some way.

I'll see you on

the next upload.

Signing out.

Okay guys, I'm not

using my mic.

So today, I'm going

for longboarding.

I'm gonna wear some

sunscreen.

Actually, I've bought the

longboard...

I think it's been

a week that I've

been practicing the longboard

like crazy.

It was a bucket

list I always wanted

to do.

Since last year, actually.

Last year, I did

another bucket list.

It was solving the

Rubik's Cube.

And I did.

I solved it in

under...

No, I solved it

in two weeks.

If I'm good enough,

I can do it

in under a minute.

And it turns out

it wasn't as intimidating

as I thought.

But the trick is,

you have to...

It's like math.

You have to remember

these moves.

And these moves act

like equations in mathematics.

Oh my god, I

hate that shit.

So these moves are

like equations.

So if you find

yourself in a certain

situation in that cube,

then you can apply

these equations to solve

that puzzle.

That was last year's

bucket list.

Side bucket list.

Side quest bucket list.

And for this year

was...

Actually, I really wanted

to return skateboarding.

Well, I'm not skateboarding

because I have a

really bad story.

And I haven't touched

skateboarding again for the

next...

23 years?

Yes, 23 years.

This year, I picked

up longboarding instead because

I really wanted to

longboard in Jakarta CBD.

So back again today,

after I've practiced longboarding

for the past four

days, I think I

have a good grip

on how to basically

control the board itself.

So yeah, today I

guess I'm gonna bring

you guys with me

to the museum.

But with a twist.

Today I'm gonna feed

you everything with this

handycam.

It's a very old

handycam.

It's from Sanyo.

It's a 2000-ish

handycam.

It's my dad's.

Alright, guys.

I think I'm gonna

head now.

Now it's 6.30

in the morning.

And my light keeps

changing.

I don't know why.

Should I bring this

camera?

No, I'm gonna fall

down.

I'm gonna break the

lens.

Alright, I'm about to

go, guys.

Guys, I'm really confused.

Should I wear vans

or my running shoes?

Because this kind of

hurts.

I mean, I'm going

over more than 10

kilos here.

Should I wear vans

or running shoes?

I'm just going for

running shoes.

My feet will thank

me later.

I'm just learning these

new balances.

And I've just finished

my warm-up.

This little park here.

This is just a

cheap longboard.

That I got.

It's nothing special.

It's just your regular

cheap longboard.

And if it turns

out, it's something I

really want to invest

in for the next

year.

Perhaps I'll upgrade into

a proper one.

Proper.

Basically, I'm just an

old guy having fun.

Alright, guys.

Let's go to the

MRT.

We're gonna wait for

a shuttle here.

Just near the mall.

That kind of shuttle.

But, in this lane,

this shuttle goes to

the MRT station.

It's free as long

as I bring my

card.

And there it is.

Let's go.

The shuttle.

On my way to

the MRT.

and my MRT is about to arrive..

like right now

we're here guys

so it turns out i..

I didnt drop at senayan

I figure it's too far

the side walks are "hill-ish"

im not ready yet

for steep hills

instead I dropped off at Bunderan HI

Which is the last

station of the MRT.

And now, I'm gonna

try to longboard to...

One thing I have

to say that I

used to work with

one of those offices.

And I could see

the faces of the

people.

Pretty depressed.

Some are sleeping.

Yeah, I feel...

I feel them.

Sometimes, I feel blessed (I had a hard transition to freelancing)

I can just skate

in the morning.

I'm not trying to

compare to other people,

but...

Yeah, at some point,

I was one of

them.

And basically, sleeping while

going to work.

It was very depressing,

man.

Yeah.

But now, let's skate.

We're going here.

Now, this we can

longboard.

This is pavement I

can longboard.

So, yeah.

Let's try it.

Damn it.

Back with these type

of streets again.

Damn it.

So, we're several kilometers

near the National Museum

of Indonesia.

And from there, we're

supposed to go to

Chinatown.

Yeah.

I hope the road

is decent.

I should be filming

myself.

Should I?

Damn it.

The focal lens doesn't

allow my full face

to get recorded.

Oh my god.

The pavement is crazy.

I can't ride.

I just got maybe

5 meters worth of

ride.

10 meters worth of

ride.

I was supposed to

drop near Sudirman CBD.

I guess that would

be a safer place

for me to skate.

Longboard.

This is pretty much

near the outskirts of

CBD, Jakarta.

But nevertheless, we're still

going to that destination.

That coffee shop I

want to go.

Jakarta is chaotic, man.

In the morning.

Damn.

That's Monas.

Change of plan, guys.

The streets were too

crowded to Old City,

Jakarta.

And the pavement isn't

for longboarding.

Sorry.

So, I did a

U-turn and we're

heading back home but

using a longboard.

And there are more

interesting stuff.

Hopefully, I can stop

and have breakfast somewhere.

I'm really hungry.

The security told me

I can longboard here.

Oh my god.

So, okay.

I'm going to sit

down and do my

exercises here.

Yay.

Got my place to

myself.

We got some ramps.

I'm not even skateboarding.

Oh my god.

Got that on camera.

That's a Zen Death

Punk.

And that's a fat...

I don't know.

What?

Superman?

Alright, guys.

I think I'm going

to find another route

that is closer to

my house.

This is pretty far

away and I'm quite

hungry.

I need that breakfast.

So, yeah.

guys, the most rediculous thing hapened

my phone is nowhere to be found

I dont bring cash

In my wallet

I always use my phone

for paying everything

that's including to top up

the card for the MRT

now I dont carry cash on me

I dont know where my phone is

It was pickpocketed by

someone in the MRT.

Hopefully not.

And I only got my long board

So, basically, I need

to longboard home.

Oh my god.

And I got this

DigiCam only with

me.

Without any phone.

So, wish me luck.

Surprisingly, the pavement is

pretty good going back.

And I've traveled quite

far.

Im just thinking wheres my phone?

Or did someone steal

it?

I don't know.

The real trial test.

I cannot catch an

MRT.

I'm just using a

longboard home.

This is crazy.

But thank god the

roads are longboard friendly.

That's a humbling experience,

actually.

Damn it.

Never expected to go

this far.

Let's go.

Alright.

I need to know

where is my phone.

I'm getting high a

bit.

I got still long way to go

Let's go.

Safe.

Sudirman.

CBD.

This is...

I don't know the

worst or the best

workout there is.

Damn it.

OMG guys

I longboarded from

Bunderan HI

Until Senayan.

Time of me longboarding.

I fell 2 times

There's no, at least

to my knowledge, skate

pavement.

So, I need to

walk from here.

Guys, I just longboarded

from Sudirman to Blok

M.

What the fuck?

That was the craziest

experience.

And I think I

won't do it again.

Totally.

That will be the

first and last.

And the idea is,

hopefully, in Fatmawati, which

is this straight road,

I can catch the

free shuttle to my

place back home.

And hopefully my phone

is there.

Because my everything is

there.

Damn it.

And of course, I

can't skate here.

It's...

It's not skate friendly.

Damn it.

Alright guys, I think

I'm gonna walk from

here.

I guess I'll see

you guys back at

home.

If I get home.

So basically, from my

home, this is still

like 5 kilometers maybe.

If I'm gonna pull

a straight line from

here to my home,

I guess that won't

be that far.

But because Jakarta is

built like a knot,

it's gonna take quite

some time.

So yeah, I'll see

you guys back at

home.

Okay guys, I finally

made it to Patnawati.

What a fucking ride.

I long-boarded from

Munderenhai to here.

It was crazy.

And it will be

the last experience, thank

you.

But I have a

grasp on how pavement

tastes like.

So I think I

got 2 more kilometers

to go to my

house, which I'm waiting

for the free shuttle.

Should be in a

couple of minutes.

And my battery is

about to die.

And see you at

home.

Hopefully my phone is

there.

There's the phone.

Guys, my phone is

at home.

Oh my god.

I literally just boarded,

I don't know, about

20 kilos?

Nah, I think 15.

20 kilos including the

shuttle.

But 15 kilos for

the first time, oh

my god.

That is crazy.

So yeah, I'm gonna

continue this video on

my camera setup upstairs.

Alright, hopefully this will

be worth the entertainment.

Alright guys, bye.

And I'm back.

It was a stupid

and crazy experience.

So yeah, this year

is basically to experience

the longboard.

And today I really

got that experience.

So in short, I

was getting prepped up

to leave from my

house in Jakarta Selatan.

So in the morning,

I took the MRT

in my nearest station

near my house.

And it was very

packed.

I finally dropped in

Bundaran Hai, which is

the last station of

the MRT train.

And my idea was

actually to go to

Old City, Jakarta.

Where I want to

try this classic Chinese

coffee shop.

It's called Coffee Taki.

And also I was

wanting to go to

the National Museum of

Indonesia.

So I took the

MRT and then went

to Bundaran Hai.

And longboarded until in

front of Monas.

That's not quite far

from the museum.

It's still far from

Old City Town, Jakarta,

which is the coffee

shop.

So I kind of

head back because the

road was not longboard

friendly at all.

So I returned and

on my way back,

I was going to

take the MRT.

But it turns out

I couldn't find my

phone.

My phone was missing.

Or did I bring

it?

I don't know.

I didn't bring any

cash because I store

all of my money

inside my app in

my phone.

And the transport card

was insufficient funds.

So I really did

longboard from in front

of Monas until Senayan.

I don't know how

many kilos is it.

But it was very

long.

At least for me

the first time longboarding.

I used to skate

when I was 13.

So I still have

some muscle memory left.

So yeah, the idea

was actually to experience

the pavement with my

longboard.

And I really did

experience that from in

front of Sardinia until

Fatmawati.

And from Fatmawati, I

took the free shuttle

ride home because I

don't need to pay.

The whole thing took

like three and a

half hours.

Yeah, it was stupid.

But at the same

time, I really did

experience longboarding.

I mean, I felt

all of the asphalt,

the different types of

pavements.

And I have a

good grasp of longboarding

now, at least in

urban areas.

Of course, if you

want to go anywhere,

you should be prepared.

And yeah, that is

one of my mistakes.

But lesson learned.

Oh, it's recording.

Yesterday I was talking

like this for a

long time and then

I forgot to press

record.

So in a way,

I did get the

full experience.

And I'm looking forward

actually to bring my

longboard and cruise Sudirman

CBD again sometime, maybe

in the future.

So yeah, that was

just some little crazy

story I experienced today.

I've been working on

some intros and I've

been planning a lot

of the branding stuff

of the channel.

So it's been taking

a while.

And including this video.

I hope you guys

will stick around and

see you on the

next video.

Oh yeah, please.

And don't forget to

subscribe, like, or comment.

That will really help

with the algorithm.

Alright guys, take care.

Cheers!
