I got the FA-06 …I play with the through to buy the New Fantom-O ….but I realize that the Fantom-O has no linear Recording Sequencer, the Fantom-O Records like „Abelton“ Records…., it’s interesting but I like more the linear Recording. The FA-06 is a great Workstation, there is all inside you need…the Fantom-O is Amazing with all his Options, and a XLR Input, better Soundcard, but all in all the FA‘s Soundcard is all so very good, you can do a lot with it! Thanks Ed!
Finally found a good tutorial this guy knows what he is talking about thanks a lot for the help I had to go to the owner manual to finally get a clue in how to append which is copying in this video tutorial but really thanks a lot.
Well done, Ed. This is a great series of videos for new owners. Keep them coming. It would be great to have a thorough tutorial on the various ways the pads can work for live players, using sequences, samples etc. I can think of some companies who could learn from your approach to product support.
If I sync it up to a DAW and if I work in the FA08 sequencer, will I be able to see each recording and edit these also in real-time on my computer and have the whole sequencer synchronized between my FA08 and the DAW on the computer? All these sounds that I play on the FA08 can they be sequenced in real-time on my computer? It feels like FA08 is what I am looking for. I want 88 weighted with sequencer and easy DAW integration so I can compose my songs fully on the keyboard, but hopefully figure out how to tweak things in my DAW software with it too. This sequencer seems great but can I use a software on my Android Tablet or on my Computer to be able to handle the sequencer more precisely, can I edit each note, can I more easily cut and paste tracks and within tracks, it seems this whole UI on FA series has been designed like this because the screen is not a touch display and there aren't any mouse inputs, so the whole UI is by the scrolling and cursors, no ctrl+c and ctrl-v quick copy and paste, no select notes to edit with a mouse, etc. I'm just worried that if I buy the FA08 then I may get stuck a bunch of times in the sequencer and needing to export and do everything on the DAW software on the computer instead. Here's what Roland should maybe consider for the next generation device, include a larger display with a touch screen UI, and also a HDMI output to connect a larger display directly to the keyboard, and a way to connect a USB mouse and keyboard to the keyboard, then have a very basic Sequencer similar to this one but with full external large high resolution display, with keyboard and mouse interactions throughout the sequencer menu. So no weird having to choose track, measure and choose destination track, measure and stuff like that. But quickly copy and paste using a keyboard and mouse UI.
Thanks for the video... Do you know how to duplicate one measure and insert it on another For example if I was recording guitar and I wanted the same tune on another measure how would I do it
Thanks for the tutorials Ed it's a great keyboard I love it, but when you insert measures or make any amendments in the track modify section, the track returns to the beginning so when you are in the latter stages it can become rather annoying!!! Still; a very enjoyable experience using the sequencer.
A really important issue of measure counts is that coyping and pasting . The counts of a measure need to be understood that the end of 4 measures is actually 5.. so when copying 4 measures you need to copy 5 which is the position not how many..
Oh, I saw that in the video and was wondering, why they would chose 5 to copy and then only 4 measures showed up into the copied spot. Since everything else is done according to measures with loops etc this is really an odd exception. Just got a FA-06 a few days ago, so I have to keep this in mind.
Nope I had the Krome, and the FA06 is miles and miles ahead on the sequencer and everything else. Also the keys on the Krome are very thin plastic just like a cheap Casio.
can you help me, im doing a sequence, but i cant punch in or overwrite, let say; im sequencing from the bar 4 till 10 and i made a mistake in the bar 10, so i like to start over the bar 9 and correct it without going to the menu and hit erase, so can you please help me how i can setup the FA. The fantom and the kronos has that option in the realtime recording Thanks..,
Hi Ed, I hope I am not six years to late, but I've got my FA-08 just some Month and have a big Problem! There is definetly somethsomething weird with the Loop-Function. If I create for example a Drum-Loop of 8 Bars and copy that and try to create a new loop at the end, than the loop allways starts at the beginning instead by 9th Bar. So I put the Loop off, if I set the "red start-line" by 9 (to start from there) Just then I press Record and put Loop on, to start from 9 BUT when I start recording, this fricken Recording starts by 1 (beginning) ! ...regardless that I put the "RED-LINE" (For the place where you start hearing or recording) on the 9th bar. I really desperated and annoyed by that. Can you/somebody help me, please.
Thanks i was just wondering how to do that i probly get this next month for mayme & margo dream squad administrative inc i hope some day i can get a major distribution deal universal interscope a and m is my plan
I am having problems with my track trying to export all the way to 700 measures I was just trying to figure out how to export my 8 bars mutitracks so I can put I in my daw...any insight on how to fix my problem?
I love your lessons! Thanks to you, I once learned to play the JD-Xi, and now I can play the synthesizer of my dreams - FA-06! 🤝🏻

this is a huge time saver
This tutorial is invaluable, thanks a million 🙂
Thanks for these videos, bought mine on the strength of them and very pleased,

Did you get the Roland phantom after these years? It sounds like a more powerful version of this. But maybe not as intuitive?
How to use quantize on track modify
Thanks so much! I was making this so much harder on myself last night. haha.
Thank you very much! This helped me big time!
How do you add the arpegiator to track 10? I want to record the drums with the arpegiator running, but I don´t find the way to do it. Thanks.
How do you adjust the volume of an individual track/channel in the sequencer? I have yet to figure out how.
Mixer mode
You can press record with the track that you want to modify selected, and then just turn the level knob as desired
Click shift and then go to mix scroll down to the volume and use a ur dial to turn it down💯💪💪
Hi Ed, how to insert 2/4, 3/4 time signature?
Good Day, do u have any tutorial regarding punch in recording like you want to record and replace error in the middle of the bar in each track?
if i only do 2 bars it skips two bars when i copy.no matter what dest i select
Thanks for the video...
Do you know how to duplicate one measure and insert it on another
For example if I was recording guitar and I wanted the same tune on another measure how would I do it
jeffrey 14435 I wanna know that too. Did you ever find out. Man I'm so pissed I bout the Juno Ds. I NEED THIS BOARD LOL
Wasn't that the "mix" choice on the paste?
Hi Ed...Please make a video on how to send drum track to drummer via Sub output...
Thanks for the tutorials Ed it's a great keyboard I love it, but when you insert measures or make any amendments in the track modify section, the track returns to the beginning so when you are in the latter stages it can become rather annoying!!! Still; a very enjoyable experience using the sequencer.
Have you tried using the loop function in order to prevent that? Does it work?
how do you copy and past parts with different keys to create a whole song?
Yep, I believe that's the transpose feature in the sequencer. 😮

This sequencer seem very good but what about the korg krome with a tactil screen ? Is it better ?
Nope I had the Krome, and the FA06 is miles and miles ahead on the sequencer and everything else. Also the keys on the Krome are very thin plastic just like a cheap Casio.

Johan Andres did you figure out how?
Thanks for the video, really helpful :)

Add an extra bar. If you want 4 bars make it 5...
Can you copy and past while it's playing and then also tell it to loop the next four measure live?
I have a question I want to insert Arabian sounds .could you help us for getting Arabian sounds into our FA-08 ?
And thanks
like the sitar sound that's in it perhaps?
Download the free EXP-03 "World" from the Roland site and install it in the FA : lots of arabian instruments in there (and asian, Indian,...)
So, in theory, you can compose an entire song on the synth using just the sequencer? That is pretty rad if that is the case.
Thats why it is called a workstation sir...
Great tutorial - thank you!
Roland staff could learn from this guy this info is very important why is that the Roland staff don't mention these important points.
EL Cantante
What do you mean? ED works for Roland : he is "Roland staff"
Tons of questions, but no one to answer....beautiful :O(
Thanks i was just wondering how to do that i probly get this next month for mayme & margo dream squad administrative inc i hope some day i can get a major distribution deal universal interscope a and m is my plan
Thank you! 🙏🎹☀️🤩
So pitty I cant select multiple tracks at same time to copy. One of the reason I bought a roland d2 Groovebox (from ~2001) wich can do that :)
Thank you so much
Thanks for this
THANKS!
I am having trouble just saving my sounds to favorite please help :/ Great video by the way
SO pitty there are no markers anymore. Loke in the JUno G
i wanner copy a loop from the sequencer and put it on a pad :( ,,, precisly and fast!
thanks a tonne :)
could have the loop running then press manually start rec and then stop rec on feeling BUT!
Damn... there must be a way...
Thanks ED ! Awesome presentation, but just a touch too fast !
You can select the playback speed you know that right?
You go too fast for me I have to find a slower tutorial lol!!!
HORRID KEYBED. TERRIBLE. RETURNED IT INSTANTLY.
The FA-07 and FA-08 have much better quality keybeds and actual weighted keys, you can find a used FA-08 for cheaper than the FA-06.
I am having problems with my track trying to export all the way to 700 measures I was just trying to figure out how to export my 8 bars mutitracks so I can put I in my daw...any insight on how to fix my problem?
