Roland’s new FA series totally reimagines the concept of music workstation, streamlining it for effortless real-time playing and tweaking, ultra-fast workflow, and tremendous versatility. Ready to support any style of music, the FA-06 is loaded with a huge sound collection inherited from the flagship INTEGRA-7, a ton of studio-quality effects, and expressive real-time controls, as well as onboard sampling with zero load time for instant audio playback from the 16 backlit trigger pads. The sequencer features simple operation and non-stop loop recording, letting users capture songs and ideas as they happen and export them as multitrack data to use with any DAW. Flowing seamlessly into every part of the creative world, the FA-06 morphs instantly from a standalone keyboard to become a total command center of any digital music studio, with USB audio/MIDI interfacing, robust real-time controllers, DAW transport controls, and much more.
