I just discovered you on KZbin and have enjoyed your demos and reviews over the last weeks. To this end I just ordered the FA-06 rather than the FA-08 only because of space issues here in my "home studio". After reading uncounted reviews and sound samples the Roland seems to be at the top of the heap for a "workstation style keyboard" for under $2600.00, at least to what I've read. I was looking at the Yamaha Motif XF6 but people droned on and on about how ugly it was to work through the menus to achieve the desired sound. As a longtime rock 'n' roll guitarist and an older than dirt player I found myself wanting something "smoother tonally" to play with. I have high hopes for my new endeavor and sincerely appreciate your time and efforts for us all. Please know there's lots of us our here who check your link on a regular bases :-)

Hi Woody, I have the Roland BK-9, and for the first 4 videos I have been playing with the videos, and I can tell you that both the FA-08 and BK-9 share the same engine. I was able to find the exact sounds you are using. The difference - is that the BK-9 has semi-weighted keys, while the FA-08 has fully (FA-06 has no weight). The BK-9 has an IPad app which makes editing sounds very easily. I am pretty sure you would have found how to disable that setting per sound and not globally. Have you tried the BK-9? I am currently contemplating changing my BK-9 to the FA-06 because the later has a better documentation and a better community. Also the portability of the FA-06 has its advantages. A small question for you: at 11:00 you are playing and I hear a background drumset... is it MIDI/MP3 you previously recorded (if so, how?) or is it something the keyboard can do automagically ?

I really am looking for an 88 key (73 minimum) but was underwhelmed by the MOXF8 and confused as hell by the interface. So, I guess what I am asking is.

I've had the FA-08 since it first came out and I've been loving it! The action was a bit stiff at first, but once that got broken in, it's been a dream to play on. Woody is absolutely correct about the synth sounds, and honestly the accoustic sounds are most definitely useable. I've also downloaded the additional sounds from Roland's Axial website and that alone provides tremendous value! It's a powerful board that 2 years later, I'm still discovering things on. I highly recommend it! Woody does justice to it in his demos and it's refreshing to see and hear a lot of the classic 80's tunes being accurately recreated on the FA-08! Thanks Woody!

If you want to do this for one track in a studio set Open the Studio set then click Shift + Part View - MIDI Rx Filter - VC and put it to 4 for the needed track. (1 = Most difficult to get loud, 4= Easiest to get loud) Hope this helps.

no, it is not at all suitable for shredding, the action is very sluggish and heavy. it's fine for piano and electric piano, but not ideal for the other instruments. you could get a FA06 but I've heard the build quality and keys are not great (the 08 is solid). How about a FA08 + midi-controller for best of both worlds, then you can have different sounds and feel on each keyboard, that would be sweet.

I owned one of these for a few days but took it back to the shop. I found the super natural sounds to be great but only a few of the main sounds such as piano are super natural. A lot of the bread and butter sounds such as brass instruments, accoustic guitares etc are very dated and cheesey sounding PCM style and sound like they were pulled from the D50. Roland even seem to acknowledge this and let you download better sounds for free off their website but even these are't that great. Furthermore the MPC style pads are not touch sensitive which makes them pretty useless in my book. I now use a MOTIF XF which has great sounds across the board and has 2 Gb of sample memory to load third party HQ pianos etc.

Great sounds, wow! Are your synth programs available for download? This would be very cool. Your videos are the best demos of the Roland FA workstations on youtube. Keep up your great work!

+TheTomkittelkey thanks for the great comment. i'd be happy to share my sounds, just not sure how to do the export, and then how to share on the net. i've had a few requests for this so I'll look into it.

You can export your sounds same way you import them. Go to Song util and Export song as a WAV (Stereo Mix) Now you can copy the file from the Export folder on the SD card to your PC Very easy :D

Roland are the absolute worst for usability. It's always been as if they've actually gone out of their way to make the workflow a convoluted nightmare. Nice Jones again by the way 😉

At leat he fessed up to how hard it is to use. As for the bloke in the comments that still has his new in the box after buying it months ago. He be in for a shock when it sounds like a church organ all the time. More money than sense me thinks.
