Manufacturer's ID: FA-08
What we say:
At A Glance:
Roland’s FA-08 is the flagship of their acclaimed FA series of workstations. It features a fully-weighted 88-note keyboard with an ivory feel, making it ideal for expressive playing. It is a fully equipped workstation with thousands of on-board sounds, studio quality effects and a fantastic sampler. Whether you are creating finished productions in the studio or playing live, the FA-08 has you covered.
Features We Love:
SuperNATURAL Synth and Integra-7 Sounds
There are over 2000 sounds on board, inherited from the flagship Integra-7 sound module. This means that the FA-08 offers professional grade synthesiser and acoustic sounds out of the box. You can also expand the amount of sounds on board via the internal wave sound expansion slots. The FA-08 gives you almost every sound you'd ever need.
Fully-fledged Workstation
The FA-08 is a fully equipped workstation. You’ll find premium sounds, an intuitive workflow and studio quality effects on board. It also allows you to split and layer up to 16 sounds in a studio set, making it an excellent choice for performing live and creating finished musical productions in the studio.
Instant-Access Performance Sampler
The sampler on the FA-08 offers fast, easy operation with no load times! You can quickly access samples from an SD card and assign them to the 16 pads. This allows you to play one-shots, loops and full-length backing tracks with ease. The FA also features Guitar/Mic and Line inputs, so you can sample your instruments or voice with ease.
Highlights:
- SuperNATURAL Synth engine for high quality synth sounds
- Velocity sensitive 88 note weighted keyboard
- Top-shelf SuperNATURAL acoustic tones and drums
- 16-Track MIDI Sequencer with non-stop loop recording
- Easily export full mixdowns or multitrack audio to SD card
- Built-in audio interface
- Seamless ‘one-button’ DAW integration
