I struggled to get to grips with my FA-06 as the manual is only basic operating use. Watched this tutorial several times and with a little trial and error I have been punching out some kicking tunes. I recommend all new users to watch this video. Great keyboard with infinite possibilities. My only grief is that the sequencer screen is a bit small and not always easy to read. My old Gem S2 had a clearer display. Happy nonetheless. Working on a new CD compilation now
I read Reviews that someone are in trouble with the concept for the FA...."I LOVE IT!" - In that Review, someone tell, how stupid it is that you can not design a Sound and save'em straight inside the Maschine, for what the Hell are all this "Studio Sets" .... hahahaha... i must laugthing as i read that, i througth that Guy put the FA outside the package and start to play without to read the Manual...? That is "Roland" all Roland and Boss Hardware are Totally Designed in a Professional Way for Pro Users! There is NO Chaos inside, the is only "Structure" in a Way that you can walk through and when you know the possibillies, you realize that it is so easy to work with the FA and than you come to get your creativty and than your Mind will go open!!! Super Nice Maschine the FA, i Love that Thing!
Ed i love your Videos, i have a FA 06, ...i'm a Guitar Player, i can't play Piano!!! But with such a Workstation it is Simple to Work with, i don't need to play perfect Piano... i learn a bit to play, but what i need to compose a Song, i can do it with "One Finger Technic" on that Workstation! And difficult Things are possibilly to handle with that "Arpeggio" Rhythem, or what..."Yes!" That works really easy - First i througth the Arpeggiotor inside the FA is boring ...but that is wrong, that Arpeggio is very Powerfull, i think so, with the Chord Function and the "Roll Function" and all the Styles ...wow, there are many Options for the Arpeggio, and the possibillity to "STORE" your own Arpeggios...Wonderful Maschine that FA-06 !!! - I I have in my DAW the "SynthMaster" VSTi, this VSTi have very nice Arpeggios, i try to build a similar Arpeggio inside the FA and want to build the Synth Sound near the "Synthmaster preset", i came close too but not the same! That is very Heavy to Create! Ed, i would to like a Video, were you explain how to "Create" Powerfull Arpeggios inside the "Microedit Tool" and when you can show us a possibillity "Finger Technic" to Trigger the Arpeggios in a good Powerfull Way!? How that works? Maybe for "Metal" and "EDM" "Maybe a Video were you Show us to Create a Arpeggio from the SynthMaster - The Preset calls: "ARP Docking Bassline KS" that Preset Sounds very Good, but i think, for a Profi it is not to complicated to build that up inside the FA...or Ed? - That is my Video Wish to you!
Thank you Roland. There are a couple of things that i had hoped would be covered here. In the (Track modify) mode I have tried to alter the transpose for either an individual track mainly to move it down a complete octave (example -12) also I have tried similar to the velocity and no matter how many times I have tried and executed it doesn't do anything. I have tried transposing all tracks just to see if it can be done. I have the latest update in the machine and I'm quite reasonably ok at managing other synths that do exactly the same thing, but for some reason these particular parameters are not working for me. I'm hoping that I have overlooked something, but did wonder if there could be a bug in the Synth. Any feedback would be greatly appretiated. Regards. Geoff Dean
I have the FA-08. It’s great for songwriting and building up arrangements. But I’m eyeing on the Fanthom 8 or even the Yamaha or Korg. Has anyone compared the FAs with Fantom in terms of sequence workflow?
@@ErraticFaithI agree,I bought the Fantom 07 and I regret it,that time I have no idea about the pattern séquencer and thought that Fantom being the successor,the linear sequencer will be carried out to Fantom and I was wrong!pattern séquencer sucks!you can't even make a medley song or change the tempo..
A lot of the features are designed either for the non-professional user who will often have the unit on a desk with numerous other products (which would allow for external sequencing) or snap-shot utilities for pros - they will use the features on occasion, being aware of the limitations but planning around them and not often caring they are there. For those looking to save money though - these things can be a bad experience/disappointment and that's why I try my best to point them out. Not everything new is better - because it's been designed for a different audience. In this case the newer one 'assumes integration'. That's not for everyone and as a 'standalone' the older I find to be much better. It's also not as bad with voice stealing and I prefer the older sounds to boot.
That was quite convincing EdDiaz sir. I had one query regarding the keyboard. How do i access USB pendrive in FA-06. I have been unable to find any option by which i can access my USB. I am only able to access the SD card. Please can u help me figure out this issue?
How many minutes can i ''write'' on sequencer...1 min per song?or as soon as the sd memory is full?For example i want a sequence for 8 min song,can i do it ?and can i send to drummer the sequence + metronome and to my main output only the sequence? thank you
Can anyone help me with this I'm doing everything he does in the video and it worked great an hour later everything I play I out of sync or just not what I played and its really frustrating because everything was working fine before Anyone have any tips ????
Add a update please better sampling editing features. Also more pad options add easy 1touch undo function. add the same features or better than juno g.. Complete song structure without having to export come on roland..
+STUDIO1KINGS Yeah, that same old "linear recording" stuff has been old for years. The Alesis MMT-8 was the perfect tool for getting a complete song done.
You are the man when it comes to this keyboard. Thanks.
Coolest demo of a workstation ever.

Thanks Ed excellent video now I know how to setup my sp404sx and fa 06 using the pads thanks again bro.
Great video.
Was looking at the Korg Krome but now in the market for a FA06.
Well done Sam
That's Ed not Sam 😅
GREAT INFO....I just started on my Awesome FA-08
That was handy - taught me how to and an auto drum intro. Thanks
Great demo !!! Thank’s a lot !!!

I have the FA-08. It’s great for songwriting and building up arrangements. But I’m eyeing on the Fanthom 8 or even the Yamaha or Korg. Has anyone compared the FAs with Fantom in terms of sequence workflow?
Eh. You touched on one of the few shortfallings of FANTOM. The pattern sequencer is atrocious. A far cry from the FA's linear masterpiece.
@@ErraticFaithI agree,I bought the Fantom 07 and I regret it,that time I have no idea about the pattern séquencer and thought that Fantom being the successor,the linear sequencer will be carried out to Fantom and I was wrong!pattern séquencer sucks!you can't even make a medley song or change the tempo..

This man kicks so much ass at explaining things
I WANT ONE SO BAD!
That was quite convincing EdDiaz sir. I had one query regarding the keyboard. How do i access USB pendrive in FA-06. I have been unable to find any option by which i can access my USB. I am only able to access the SD card. Please can u help me figure out this issue?
thank you ... was having regrets as I just couldn't do basic stuff with it....
Hi guys! How do i save an unfinished project in a sequencer? Thanks!
Can you do sequencing like by part like stanza,chorus, and place it in sample? so i can get like an arranger type. Thanks
Can this play mp3 wav like an audio player?
Hello, do you know how to record the voice on the sequencer on FA08?
How many minutes can i ''write'' on sequencer...1 min per song?or as soon as the sd memory is full?For example i want a sequence for 8 min song,can i do it ?and can i send to drummer the sequence + metronome and to my main output only the sequence? thank you
please make an update because i exported it on wav stereo mix and on my computer it comes as a vlc midi and wont let me put it in my phone
Sir our f06 preview button is not working, what to do
how do i connect a mic on this? i cant get mine to work and i did everything i was suppost to do i believe
Can anyone help me with this
I'm doing everything he does in the video and it worked great an hour later everything I play I out of sync or just not what I played and its really frustrating because everything was working fine before
Anyone have any tips ????
Can i use the pads for drums
Hey, anyone recommend which DAW is best to use with Roland FA? Logic, Cubase or Sonar? Tks!
Oh .... that is the DAW that is for you the best to work with!
Than the "FA" works with any Professional DAW!!!
Sir how to use touch
Are there possebilities to sequence/record filtermovements and stuff like that?
Without yousing the sampler...
+Mathias Gley Yes you can record it in the sequencer
Can we plug a mic or a guitar and record as well? Thanks!
Yes you can. You can even add some MFX like a vocoder.
The Sequenser in the FA is great. The Waw export is not! Takes a hell of a time and is very primitive in selecting what to export.
i realize I am kinda off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Erick Leandro Flixportal :D
@Preston Gary thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it!
@Erick Leandro happy to help :)
Great? Compared to Fantom, it's Godlike.
Thank you!

So, basically if you don't know how to play worth a shit, but still want to make music, this thing is for you.
Add a update please better sampling editing features. Also more pad options add easy 1touch undo function. add the same features or better than juno g.. Complete song structure without having to export come on roland..
+STUDIO1KINGS Yeah, that same old "linear recording" stuff has been old for years.
