Kind of a stupid question, but when loading a new expansion pack. Will it erase what is on there from the factory? This is the first time I will be uploading an expansion pack, I haven't done anything since I bought it? Thanks, any help is appreciated.
Guys : here is a tip for you all (haven't read it or seen it elsewhere - hope it's usefull): When navigating through 300-400 patches you can hold the shift + down arrow to speed the cursor X10 . ALSO - if you have in the same list patches from various sources like preset/exp02/exp06/GM - it will jump to the first of each category.
nirsul Good tip! This works on like ALL of Roland's devices, including Groove Boxes etc. Even works on my korg electribes and keyboards. Holding shift universally means skip by 10 when selecting patches or changing values on pro synths.
jawnyb2 Hey can you tell me how many patches, or tones came in the Grand piano collection, and the electric piano collection? Was it a large amount of tones, and do they sound really good? maybe better than the ones that were already in the FA08?
Hey, I have a FA-06, i want some indian tones in it, but they aren't available for it, rather they are available for xps10 and some other models, so can i download them instead and fit them into my fa-06?
Hi friend. I have a Fa06 and an expansion is not installed correctly and I can not erase it. You know how I can correct that problem. thank you very much for the tips. greetings from El Salvador.
Try loading into the expansion load menu then either loading another expansion over top of it or press an empty slot and see if that will overwrite it.
So two slots for Expansion. I assume this doesn't affect Integra 7 sounds import, right? BTW thank you for making these vids. They are VERY helpful. Thumbs up.
+jawnyb2 my keyboard is brand new, so does that mean I have two free slots. I guess I can boot into the USB menu to find out. I just want to load the synth expansion, maybe horn expansion, and then I saw the Integra 7 downloads with the super saws. Hopefully they all fit. The super saws were in a different format than those EXP files.
+jawnyb2 Hi. THank you for the video. Let me see if i understand. U can only have 2 exp installed at the same time ??? If i Want to put exp 1, 2 and 3 at the same time its not possible ? What about the Bank packs ?? Thankk youu
+Alexandre Maia I only saw two slots for EXPs. However I was able to also load SuperSaws on my unit. I suppose because SuperSaws is not an expansion pack.
Thank you I ended up finding it. At first I thought I had the wrong number on the sticker but I was typing it in all caps when registering it. Thank you very much though
Great video, thanks. OK there is only 2 slots, what a shame. But I assume you can work around this by saving the best presets from an Expansion to the internal userpresets?
So kin of Roland not to provide a proper instruction manual. :( Just got my FA today and followed these instructions but it ain't working, when I press the sample pads nothing happens...
Doesn't work on mine. Either using the USB or the SIM card. When I get to the green letters on the black screen, and it is time to push the sample pads, they don't do anything.
It only works if you have the .bin files at the root level of your USB stick. It won't read these off of the sim card. If the green screen doesn't show you 01: EXP00.bin like on the video (4 lines from the top) the bin files aren't in the right place.
I need some good grungy hip hop drums but this board has very basic cookie cutter sounds and I can't figure out how to connect it with logic or bitwig.
hello i just have a question..... i do everything the way you show but when i start the update it doesnt show the bin files it only shows the slot 1 and slot 2.... can you help me fix this thanks
Are you sure you copied the .bin files directly to the root level of the USB? They can't be in any folders at all, just the raw .bin files have to be on the root level.
Yaa I just put it in the root file same like you did.... I have a 64 gig USB stick is it comparable with it and... what extention should I format it thanks
Peto Strange. I didn't have to format mine at all. I used a 4GB USB stick that has a bunch of junk on it even. Do you have any smaller USB stick you could try? Just to be sure on the root of your stick can you see one or more files named something like this: EXP04.bin ?
i think 64 gig is too much i will but a 4 gig tomorrow and try again.... 1 more question i have tons of Turkish Arabic Armenian instruments in .wave is it possible play it not as sample but keayboard thank for your time...
Good question...I haven't tried to assign a sample to keys yet and don't remember seeing anything that would let me do it. I'll have to try it out and get back to you on that one!
andrucuevas Unfortunately no...maximum of 2 then you have to replace them if you find a new one you like, which is kind of a drag. I'm totally wanting a software update for this, but haven't heard anything about the next release date.
OH MAN! I can't wait to get my 08!
From 01 to 10 How many expansion we can add in 1 slot and how many slots we can add??
Kind of a stupid question, but when loading a new expansion pack. Will it erase what is on there from the factory? This is the first time I will be uploading an expansion pack, I haven't done anything since I bought it? Thanks, any help is appreciated.
nope it doesn't erase any factory stuff. just whatever u already loaded into that expansion slot.
Can you do the same thing with SD card?
hi , what's the format of the usb stick ? exfat ? fat32 ? .......
Do you know of there are any other sounds you can add other than axios?

Will this method work for iPad users as well only I don’t have a laptop?
Only two expanions at once? That's a real shame...
so you can't download all ten expansions permanently on the keyboard?
Sir, how have you installed the lighting and which pin is installed?
How to keyboard border lighting
Hi , I have Fa-08 Roland
And I wanna import Arabian sounds for my piano could you help me with that ?
And thank you
Hey, I have a FA-06, i want some indian tones in it, but they aren't available for it, rather they are available for xps10 and some other models, so can i download them instead and fit them into my fa-06?
+Gagandeep Singh I haven't been able to find any different patch sources other than the axial website, so I'm not sure where you could find those.

BTW thank you for making these vids. They are VERY helpful. Thumbs up.
Yeah unfortunately u have to use one of those slots for the integra sounds.
+jawnyb2 my keyboard is brand new, so does that mean I have two free slots. I guess I can boot into the USB menu to find out. I just want to load the synth expansion, maybe horn expansion, and then I saw the Integra 7 downloads with the super saws. Hopefully they all fit. The super saws were in a different format than those EXP files.
+jawnyb2 yep I see two empty slots. I will load em up and let you know. Thanks again.
+jawnyb2 Hi. THank you for the video. Let me see if i understand. U can only have 2 exp installed at the same time ??? If i Want to put exp 1, 2 and 3 at the same time its not possible ? What about the Bank packs ?? Thankk youu
+Alexandre Maia I only saw two slots for EXPs. However I was able to also load SuperSaws on my unit. I suppose because SuperSaws is not an expansion pack.
Maybe you can help me with this. I have my FA 08 and I cant seem to find the Serial Number lol. Where did you find yours? if you dont mind me asking
Richard Ferrer The serial number is on the back by the power switch. Should be on a white sticker.
Thank you I ended up finding it. At first I thought I had the wrong number on the sticker but I was typing it in all caps when registering it. Thank you very much though
Great video, thanks. OK there is only 2 slots, what a shame. But I assume you can work around this by
saving the best presets from an Expansion to the internal userpresets?
I don't think that will work, because the expansions contain a bunch of pcm sounds that the patches use.
Ah, now I get it. Thank you.
Have you tried this? Does it work? If so, how do you do it? thank you

are there any latino sounds available? for example like any type of gabbanelli accordions?
You can take a look at the entire sound list here: roland.com/support/article/?q=manuals&p=FA-08&id=63078474
hi i haved question i installed two expasion but i want intaller more expansion but memory is full how i can intaller more expansion ?
+Miguel Quiles There are only two slots for these expansions, so you can't install more than 2 at once.
hey Amigo how to install all those 10 expansion in one because every time i try a new expansion the old one deletes ..plz make a new video...thanks..
+Franco FF Guitarist Hey man, there are only two internal slots, so 2 at a time is the limit unfortunately.
If so how do you do it
Great!!!
Can you use your own samples like realistic trumpet
You can import any sample u like but you can't map it across the keyboard.
I need some good grungy hip hop drums but this board has very basic cookie cutter sounds and I can't figure out how to connect it with logic or bitwig.
Doin it 1 and 2. Love songs?
hello i just have a question..... i do everything the way you show but when i start the update it doesnt show the bin files it only shows the slot 1 and slot 2.... can you help me fix this thanks

Hi. So, Can i load more than 2 exp packs?
andrucuevas Unfortunately no...maximum of 2 then you have to replace them if you find a new one you like, which is kind of a drag. I'm totally wanting a software update for this, but haven't heard anything about the next release date.
jawnyb2 Yea they need to update that feature.
great....... tnx
