![]() Roland has immediately cheated in the case of exploring sound capabilites, because when I switched the FA-06 on, the first sounds that appeared all had JP8 in the title – and I’m a sucker for a JP8 pad. The 5-octave FA-06 and it’s 88-note weighted-action sibling, the FA-08, are physically lighter, and present a stream-lined series of functions, more in keeping with current trends, including DAW software integration. ![]() The FA-series (a relative of the FANTOM family of workstations which were originally introduced by Roland in 2002) would be considered, in my mind, as an ‘economy class’ of workstation. Finally, if necessary, I check it’s capabilities with DAW compatibility, because I’m not giving up my computer-based sequencer for anyone. First, understand the internal structure and voice architecture of the unit and then, obviously, listen to the sound groups to find out the sonic strengths of the unit. So whenever I work with one on a programming or teaching job, I try to quickly break them down into the parts that I will, or won’t use. ![]()
