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-08 features an 88-note weighted-action keyboard and comes 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 offers 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-08 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.
Music workstations play an important role for keyboardists in a wide range of creative activities, from live performance to song development to production in the studio. However, they can often be complicated and difficult to use to their full potential, bogging down the creative process and inhibiting the flow of ideas. In developing the FA series, Roland has completely reimagined the music workstation to provide musicians an inspiring platform that's extremely powerful and versatile, yet simple and intuitive at the same time. With a streamlined interface and focused, practical features that maximize your creative flow, the FA series allows you to experience newfound freedom to deeply explore and develop your musical ideas with less effort than ever before.

Scott always does a great job to explain everything.
I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD!!! If are still on the fence about purchasing this board, let me tell you, GET IT!!! The sound that it releases when I layer my sounds together. It brings me to 😭 You won't be disappointed, trust me!!!
David Bentz Jr. Well you won’t be disappointed if you do.
David Bentz Jr. So maybe you can help me out then. How do I edit my pianos to give it the Sound I’m looking for?
David Bentz Jr. This is good information!! Now did they increase the polyphony with the 2.0 update?
David Bentz Jr. I haven’t gotten it yet. How do I download it?

It just made it's way into my little keyboard ensemble. What a convenient tool.
The best! Great job! The dollar this high in Brazil , crying here.
It's a lot like the Phantom G6 which I use to have. I think I'm going to get this beauty. Thanks for the details!
I was at Guitar Center and I found a JUNO-DS88, and decided to play some music on it, and when I went home, I immediately looked up (without knowing the name) "Roland 88 key keyboard," and stumbled upon this one, and from what I've seen, it's essentially the same thing, just with more sample pads, and OH MAN I want this so bad now.
Have you bought one?
@@rolandgerard6064 Nope, I'm now considering a Yamaha MOTIF
Like the guitar and audio input effect plugin on back, make for some cool music
making using external intruments.
DOES SCOTT HAVE ANY ALBUMS AND LIVE PERFORMANCE DVD"S ~ I ATTENDED HIS WORKSHOP IN CHI TOWN CHICAGO ~ AWESOME MUSICIAN ~ BLESSINGS OF HU
Smart workstation, great demo!
Nice job on the explanation
Top quality piano.
I really want this keyboard...that said I have a Yamaha Motif big boy 72 keys I love..and my first synth was a tiny Jx3p ....and l play guitar also I'm a songwriter really....
I wish he’d allow us to see the actual buttons he’s pushing up close it would be more helpful nevertheless fantastic tutorial
Very good review. Thanks!
Wow, look at the size of that thing!
One thing I wish, is that someone would make a board with potentiometers rather than knobs. Reason being, I'm delighted to see this board won't cut out when changing sounds on the fly and when editing the sound. The stepping isn't at all noticeable, UNLESS the knobs aren't centered each time (which they rarely will be). Pots, with no center marks and the ability to be continuously turned in either direction could the be used to never have to start from a centered position. Bidirectional communication would be needed, but easy enough for Roland, Yamaha or Korg, I'm sure. The additional use of the potentiometer style knob would be to use each knobs center button to center if the person so desired. That wouldn't even be needed in the case of the FA series though because they have the very helpful graphical representation of where it is already right there on screen. It may sound like a lot of effort for what some will think is a very minor issue, but if you played live you already know it's far from minor. Other than that, the only complaint would be it's power supply.
One question that I've been looking for an answer to. Will the Roland RPU-3 Pedal work completely as it was meant to work with the 08? I know it will work as a sustain pedal and that I could use the other two for other things, but I'm hopeful it has at least the left/soft pedal support also with half dampering.
Great video. Awesome playing and very thorough.!
Pro demonstration !!!!
Hey Scotty i'm Frank from Australia can you make a video how to record vocals and guitars mate....
Im having trouble working out how to record my vocals on the seqencer with the music is this possible?
Great keyboard but..hard to control velocity, and no back lighting to see surface menus. That said, great functionality, especially as a sequencer. The one touch chord feature is huge for us non trained musicians, although I am learning piano. For a songwriter like me, this tool is indispensable.
Cool, thank you!
Love the Fa's but i wanna find away how to use it bringing in external synths into the Fa sequenser
Hi, why don't you play the drum kits or the effects with the pads? I imagine that it can, or not? regards
Roland Keyboard the Best Quality
This is the top quality piano want it so much
es un teclado de la p madre. increible todo lo que hace
your speakers sound very good I just listen to some others demos and it made me hate the Roland FA it sounded so thin. compared to my Korg M3
Got a Yamaha MX & will upgrade to a MOXF or KROME next year. If only this had AfterTouch, it would very much be in my options
Neither the MoXF or the KROME have aftertouch?
Indeed, Bharath, Was not aware at that time.
Ronald Alexander Konos does
Ronald Alexander None of the mid-level workstations have after touch.
SCOTT TIBBS THE MAN FOR ROLAND IMMA MAKE SOME HITS WITH THIS BOARD!!!LOL
How the keybad feels ? I love the Roland A90 keyboard piano feel, I found it perfect, it´s a PA-4 hammer action. I bought an Yamaha P140 and it´s very stiff, I feel pain in my arms when I play on yamaha, and I feel lazy to play some chords, because it´s so painful that the artist prefer to play simple things. I need a piano action that is not heavy, but not too light. How the FA-08 feels ? Unfortunately, I haven´t roland pianos available at my city, so I have to trust on other reviews.
then don't buy this keyboard, try the yamaha moxf 8
Can you manage as Kronos does entire setlists? setlists made of different songs each of which containing splittered,layered,(16 different sound in parallel) program?
yes! they're called "Studio Sets" in this keyboard :)
Sir, I bought this piano but it's keys are very hard to play compare to other piano. How I can play it softly. Please reply. I shall be highly thankful to you for your kind reply. With kind regards
A little late, but I've found that the Expressionable function on the D-Beam (top left) is really useful to play dynamically. It doesn't work with anything you need two hands for; so you could instead try using a volume pedal.
I also bet there is a setting in the "menu" for velocity sensitivity.
Le problème c'est qu'il n'y a aucune demo en français pour le synthétiseur fa 08
Is it worth buying in 2017? What about Korg Kross/krome, Yamaha Moxf8? I see everyone using keys only as a hardware nowadays and getting sounds in software using DAW's and Spectrasonic Keyscape or Komplete.
Manoel Bueno Yes it is worth it!!! I bought this keyboard 4 months ago. And let me tell you, keyboards sound totally different through a computer screen as oppose to playing it in real time. This keyboard is mind blowing!! When I layer a Grand piano and a pad together it brought me to tears!!! It sounds so real. And plus I downloaded some more Grand pianos and E pianos from the Roland website, and they sound almost better than the factory sounds. Now the MOXF8 is a good choice too. I was actually torn between these two boards for that matter. Which one sounds better? It comes down to preference! But when it comes to features, the FA08 has the upper hand. Do not get the Korg Krome, not that it doesn't sound good because it does. But it's too technical. It takes you forever to layer one sound together. Your choice should be between the FA08 and the MOXF8. You can't go wrong with either one. It depends on what you are looking for in a keyboard that will help you make a decision of which one is better to you. SALUTE MAN!!!
Buy a roland FA-08 or korg kronos.
Скажите, пожалуйста, можно ли изменить частоту ударов сэмлов барабанов в загруженных банках этого синтезатора? Например, Bank 2, pad 16, мне необходимо изменить темп на более медленный, - имеется ли возможность это сделать?
Здравствуйте! Я приобрёл FA 08 три года назад. Вы не подскажете почему через некоторое время, около года использования использования этого синтезатора (DAW), неожиданно вдруг пропал сигнал из выхода SUB OUTPUT? Как его можно восстановить? ( то есть при подключении наушников в этот разъем звука нет вообще, и при подаче на любой электронный девайс тишина).. Я уже делал возврат к заводским настройкам, но это не помогло..
thats a cool keyboard i have the roland D-20 that is way cooler
Roland D-20; 32 voices,128 presets,8 effects and it sounds like ass(even worse actually,as it sounds like the Korg M1.)
Yeah....that's cool dude....but a Casio WK-7600 is way cooler than the D20...no seriously,the Casio really is cooler.
+Philo Beddoe LOL man I have a D-20 too and I would LOVE it to sound as good as an M1!! Yes, it does sound terrible. For the price back in the day, it did more than a D-50 for less money, but didn't sound as good as a D-50 either... ;)
+Pete Kowalsky I was so ecstatic to sell my M1,that I was much happier selling it,than when I had purchased it.I somewhat regret selling my Korg Triton EX...but with all of today's improvements and options,it's all water under the bridge...gratefully forgotten(for the most part.)
In fact..the new Casio Privia PX-560 is Casio's flagship synth workstation and in my opinion...it is hands down,the very best synth out there today,for the money(for it's price point.)
I mean..it actually smokes the competition and puts Korg,Yamaha,Roland & Kurzweil to shame and does it for less(cheaper than anyone else.)
Sad...isn't it?How excruciatingly greedy these large companies are(Casio being the shining exemption,of course.)
Still confused as to how you quickly change sounds. The Pads apparently cannot do this. Every time I saw you change sounds oyu had to use the scroll wheel. Why couldn't those Pads do that?
The pads simply trigger a MIDI message. Most of the time you want them to be notes, probably drums. With some deeper editing they could change presets, turn on and off effects or even control external things like lighting if you had the proper gear and knowledge. But their main function is drum pads so that’s what you see most often. Most people will program their own sounds, save them in the user memory bank and just go forward and back between a few of them instead of scrolling through hundreds.
***** Thank you for your informed reply. My point is that could the Pads not do both functions? I see their value in creating sounds; but I also have trepidations about a stage performance where I would also want to change the sounds played by the keyboard more quickly than with the wheel. Is it possible that some other button could be programmed to toggle the Pads between Preset Sounds to play from the keyboard and using them to play sounds?
tkarlmann I got the answer from Roland -- use the keys below the screen for presets! There are 10 banks of 10 sounds each. I didn't see that.
tkarlmann n
souljazz58 you can change the sounds without interruption due to Tone Remain. Simply create a studio set, go to pad utility and from there you enable it to use the pads to switch the sounds.
Yeaaaah💘💘💘💘💘
cool
Supernatural
The first to comment receives a free Roland FA-08?
No the second one, sorry
I really like the supernatural sounds...only thing that irks me about them is how you don't need to know how to play instruments anymore, they're so realistic-sounding there's no need to have that expertise, and that's kinda sad.
Lots of sound examples and you say how easy everything is…. But you don’t tell us how to do anything
Like a Biff Tunnen 🤣🤣
No aftertouch... so useless!...
I think you could get away with some layering and velocity editing... haven't done it but I plan on trying
The EV-5 expression pedal does volume, filter, vibrato, attack, release etc.
