Roland’s new FA series completely reimagines the music workstation, streamlining it for effortless real-time power, ultra-fast workflow, and maximum versatility. Ready to support any type of music you play, the FA-06 is packed with a massive sound collection inherited from the flagship INTEGRA-7, a ton of studio-quality effects, and expressive real-time controls, plus onboard sampling with zero load time for instant audio playback from the 16 backlit pads. The sequencer features simple operation and non-stop loop recording, letting you capture songs and ideas as they come and export them as multitrack data to use with your DAW. Flowing seamlessly into every part of your creative world, the FA-06 morphs instantly from a standalone keyboard to become the command center of your computer music studio, with USB audio/MIDI interfacing, powerful real-time controllers, DAW transport controls, and much more.
That's the way to demo bro, you take the time to explain features and show how to use them. Looking forward to more follow ups. Question... how do you add, say a chorus to a sequence?
duh? haven't you been paying attention? the same way you add another guitar or sax or synth piano sound! Hit Rec on the sequencer 16 track screen and add it!!
Stop chewing gum on class and flirting with that cute Asian and pay Attention!!!
Thanks for this review!! :)
Scott, Scott, Scott... My Man!! (relax Scott, I'm not gay, just excited!) Again... gee... you explain this instrument with such simplicity and flair that it sounds like I'm hitting on you! lol!!
The only other guy from whom I took instructions on this keyboard and by whom I'd decided it is the right buy, is from Woody Piano Shack but you... You completely hit it on the freakin Nail!!! No more Korg's, Yamaha's, MCE's, Alesis, M-Audio or even Casio... and I know Because I own a Casio Privia PS-5x with a mind blowing 256 notes of Polyphony and A Yamaha Motif ES 88, plus A Korg Kronos X73, A Digital Samick, A Clavinova, 1 Kurzweil Grand and A Yamaha DGX-500 (for fun) and after finding about (from you, yes, you are that powerful of a demo guy) this Roland FA, I've decided to sell them All and buy me this amazing keyboard. I was first soooo tempted on getting the Korg Pa4X which is amazing but not as easy to use and so much more expensive than the Roland FA. Now that I'm Fully and totally convinced, I will not only get me a quality keyboard but, I don't have to fork out the additional $500 for a drum pad I had my eye on from Akai, I mean Dude, This fucking piano does Everything I need!!!! Thanks for the video and please do another one on how to arrange a full song with wave and mp3 tracks and keep us excited about making music!! Peace Bro.
I've been trying to get sound from the FA06 without using headphones. How do I go about doing that?
You might have to plug an external speaker into the headphone\l-mono slot
Unfortunately muting tracks in the sequencer do not send over midi or record as part of the pattern like they did on the Juno G making this no good as a midi hardware sequencer .The sampler is also much less capable than the Juno G with very limited editing options .I have been waiting for a firmware update from Roland to make this a better hardware sequencing option .
So ToneDeath. Tell me something here. I just bought a used Juno G 61 keys online a few months ago and haven’t gotten a chance to get into it. I was thinking of selling it to buy a Roland FA06. You are saying that I maybe should not, right ??
Thanks
Can you add many voices or or mix voices like yamaha?
In “Studio Set” mode (press the Spilt & Dual buttons simultaneously to get there) you are presented with 16 parts. Each part can have a separate “voice / instrument” selected for it. You can mix each part, add effects etc. I think drums always occupy part 10.
What is the actual resolution of the audio export? 44.1/16bit? 48/24bit? Is the resolution changeable?
That's what I want to know as well. I was hoping that it would do something much higher like 96k-32bit. There's no information on Roland's site about the export rate.
Why can't Roland put a decent acoustic piano in their workstations/synthesizers? They have stage pianos that sound phenomenal. Why couldn't they put one of these pianos in their Fantom G? Korg. Yamaha, and Nord would've had some serious competition if they did. WHY? WHY? WHY? i don't get it.
HOW CAN PITCH SHIFT IN THIS KEEY BORD
@@yellingyellow5209 i dont think thats what he means, not the i the joystick, think he means the internal pitch shifter effect not, sotty to say i dont know any thing about it at all, though i know my ds88 has a pitch shifter effect , dont know about the FA06 i would have to check my FA06, but as it has a vocoder i would guess that it does have a pitch shifter effect, though not sure at the moment.
read my reply to jaythissell
roland has truly fell off , these keyboards seem to do less beat production and more synth , the samplers are garbage now and the sequencer is trash .. smh i hate that they just said we dnt care about real beat production any more , im glad i kept my fantom x6 and g6 and mv 8800 ...thats was the last of hip hop production from roland these keyboards now are for church and live gigs more than anything ...thanx roland your brand isnt the same anymore ...and your sp404 series suck too ..thank god akai still cares about beat production i feel like i waisted my money buying this stupid fa 06
this keboard seems to have its own mind !!!!! a simple thing like changing the factory sounds !!! or what roland now call ( Tones ) with a Simple effect edit, some times it will save it after pressing write and OK and it will save , when you change tones !!! and then go back to the Tone you put a effect on to , it didn't Save !!!!im getting to dislike this keyboard more ever day , plus I never realized when I purchased it that the pads were Not Touch sensitive ( No aftertouch ) I Guess you only get what you pay for !!! :(
"or what roland now call ( Tones ) " - ummm.... What? Pretty sure Roland has always called the basic sound a "Tone" since all the way back to the 1980's and the D-50...
if your trying to save a tone edit [effects ] in studioset mode you have to save the tone under wright menue 1st then save studio set under under wright menue
what i think you have been doing wrong is not selecting tone wright in the write menue but selecting studio set wright. instead
NO, my friend, I do the same thing you do everyday and have no problems what so ever. Trying to figure out this keyboard without reading the users manual?
@@Phoenix-One0922 it's one of the easiest workstations to figure out without the manual....but why not read it? And how about research properly before you purchase.
and a huge no. of those 2,000 sounds are exstreemly like each other perticular the synth lead sounds which are all very simerler with hardly any diferance between them. the so called "diferant" sounds is one big con there are not that large a no, of diferant sounds, though in general it is still a very good synth thats why i own one
AND A HUGE NO!! TO YOUR ENGLISH WHICH SOUNDS ALL THE SAME... ALL FUCKED UP!! FIRST, LEARN HOW TO SPELL, THEN GET THE WAX OUT OF YOUR EARS, START PAYING ATTENTION AND LISTEN... BECAUSE...AFTER ALL THAT CRITICISM, YOU STILL BOUGHT ONE? THEN YOU ARE SIMPLY A BIG LOUD MOUTH HYPOCRITE, SO WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!? SHUT UP!
YOU NAME SHOULDN'T BE CARL AYLWARD, MORE LIKE CACA AWKWARD!!!
Fake spelling mistakes
@@Phoenix-One0922 eerrhh, why are you resorting comman isults, i never nsulted anyone in my comment, and it shows a lot for your charector to give them. and you critiasise my spelling mistakes, but id rarther be a charector like myself, who cant, i admit, spell very well, and who does not gp about throwing personal insults at someone simply because of there opinion. and i also have to say that i have now bought a 2nd FA06 as it is such a good keyboard .even though it does have a lot of simerler sounds,,,, , undoubtably, and i fail to understand how you could dissagree with this fact if you own one yourself ,,,,, it is still a rearly good keyboard, pertivuarly with its patch switch mode which i believe no other keyboard has. perticuarly with its favorites mode which i believe only roland keyboards have. and it is not hypicriticle buying and useing a keyboard with limitations as all keyboards have one limitation or another. so i finish here saying perhaps you could take some lessons in courtasy and good manners, of which i obviously have, dispite my bad spelling, which means nothing, and learn how to be more polite in conversing with people as i am. cheers.
@@ebull666 no spelling mistakes are guenuine i simply cant spell due to my bad meemory, though my thinking ability is a lot better. and did you read guy above insulting me, ive just replyed to him , but unlike him i never resort to personal insult attacks on people. its simply not called forr and is very undignified, cheers
Thanks
