Product Review This keyboard is about the coolest instrument I own. I don’t even play keys primarily. I play guitar, bass, dabble on keys and drums. If you want to crest music, get this. Talk about some deep, nasty synth sounds!! I am beyond impressed. With so many sound options you can dang near hit about ever sound you’ve heard on the radio. This has been extremely fun to play. Well built and software is quickly able to be learned. Get this now!!! You will not be disappointed.

Very good Roland keys, not really a full "sampler"

Product Review I've always loved a good Roland preset keyboard at the ready since the late 80s. This one has a lot of the staple sounds and good selection of minorly dated modern sounds. I admit I didn't research this well when I first purchased it assuming it was an update in same family as my older Fantom G6 that I had sold off years back. Sadly it's using the name, but not the same concept at all. The sampler is more like an SP-505 updated and bolted on to the side rather than being a true integrated sampling engine. It has some nice sampling 'extras' to supplement the more traditional sound engine, but it's not going to be something where you load detailed multisampled instruments from the older Fantom line. It also seems to be the cutoff point right before Roland integrated Zen Core into everything.

American musical thank you so much for my new baby and making it affordable for me to make music. My church appreciates the sound quality of piano strings and the organ sounds like a good ole fashioned Hammond. Wouldn’t trade this for the world

Product Review Being a long time AMS customer, I chose AMS as the place to purchase my Roland. The customer service is expedient, shipping is fast and their products are first class. The Roland FA series keyboards offer 16 track sequencer, sampler, wide gamut of Roland tones. I can store my unique sounds using banks to offer flexibility in live as well as home performance. The FA series is also budget friendly and with AMS payment plans, that's even better. AMS puts pro gear in the hands of working musicians and enthusiasts.

Product Review This keyboard didn’t work the way I expected it to work. The sampler isn’t great, and also saving a song can be a bit overwhelming and annoying. I have figured out a lot but i still prefer the fantom x better. It does have great quality sounds and works perfectly as a midi device.

Product Review I switch from Roland to Yamaha when the MOTIF ES came out since I’ve owned 2 Motifs and 2 MOXFs which I love one of my MOXF has been acting up then the other mostly the key velocity sensors. Anyway, I ordered the Roland FA6 to expand my pallets of sounds and I absolutely love this keyboard. The Keynes seems way more sturdy than the MOXF’s key bed. The patches seem to cut better through the mix it is very easy to operate once you get ahold of the shift key and have an understanding of the studio sets. I wish both inputs were 1/4 inch and that the sampler had an independent knob for volume. However, the sampler works flawlessly and if one puts time I programming it deciding what will be a one shot sample and what would be a loop etc. It could be very very useful. I had no problem making my layers and splits and I was up and running and ready for a gig in no time. It is a lite keyboard so it is easy to carry around and I’ll admit in at first in some things I had difficulty navigating the features that’s mainly do to having spent the last 15 years using Yamaha keyboards. In my studio right now I have a Yamaha MODX 8 and this a Roland FA6 I’m still using the MOXFs live but if the keys keep Breaking down they will soon be replaced with Roland FAs I don’t know why Yamaha decided to use such cheap key beds on the MOXF and MODX it seems for durability Roland is going to be the way to go. I do recommend this keyboard

Product Review I purchased the Roland FA 06, hoping that it would be just as good of a keyboard, as the Roland Fantom-S that I used to own...IT WAS AND THEN SOME! I love the fact that you can create multilayered sounds, that allow more choices and flexibility when sound creating. The DAW connectivity function allows me to use Ableton without any glitches, as if it was made for it. The sequencer allows me to create everything within the box, without having to rely on another machine for sounds. Also, the audio output produces a great, lush sound. The ability to sample into the FA 06 is a plus, just in case I don want to use the drum sounds that are within. If I had to recommend a workstation that provides a realistic, lush and sonically, pleasing sound, that also has a built sequencer that’s intuitive and very user friendly, I gotta recommend the Roland FA 06...It has everything you’ll need and more.

Product Review This is a great synth for the price. The sounds are amazing and it's pretty easy to use. The only downside is the actual keyboard is not the most comfortable (this is just my personal preference) but I have it hooked up to a MIDI keyboard controller so it's a non-issue to me. Definitely recommend.

Product Review The Roland FA is a great keyboard for music production, as well as live performances! The sounds are second to none. It also looks great. I didn't give it 5 stars because I feel like the quantization could be better, maybe a higher resolution screen or touchscreen, and lastly the export process could be quicker. Overall, it's worth the money, the cons were just my personal upgrades I would have done in manufacturing.

Product Review I’ve owned many nice Korg workstations in my years but Roland is King in my book because of the distinct flavor of sounds and samples. It feels like I can get an 80s movie vibe, video game sounds, and a realistic piano plus all the different options all in one unit with an awesome look too!

The Complete Workstation...

Product Review Inspiration never stops with the Roland FA 06.I enjoy the non-stop recording feature, I use the samplepad to select tracks..simple and fast. Completed songs are saved via the SD card slot,making it very easy to load or edit your project. The Sampling function is an excellent addition, and it's very easy to create keyboard splits, or layer any two sounds...unending possibilities. FA 06 serves as an effective DAW controller, although I use mine in a mix of other modules connected thru midi,making the FA a truly versatile instrument. Loading new sounds are easy thru the Axial site,the effects are great..making the FA 06 the biggest 'bang 4 buck' workstation on the market.

Product Review I've been choosing Roland keys, over the competition since the 80's; though I now use Korg keyboard apps for iPad (iM1 and iWavestation) I still prefer Roland. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I really think they should have "borrowed" some sax and organ sounds from the JunoDS, which are much more realistic, closer to the real thing. Those sounds on the FA didn't convince me well. Other than that I don't regret buying the FA. AMS easy and superb buying experience makes it all better, as well. I've been a customer for 15 years and I'm not leaving!

Product Review Great mid range workstation. Cons: -Editing tones can be a little menu intensive but not enough to sour my view of the synth. -The sampler is fairly limited. Pros: -The large screen and recording options make it easy to slap an idea together pretty quickly. -I like the feel of the keys, they are a little off from standard but they feel nice once you get used to them. -The sounds on this thing are great, and there are plenty of them. Plus you can add sounds from the Axial library and even import Integra sounds. -Fast boot time.

Product Review I am a pro musician and the FA06 is the fifth Workstation I've owned. And it was completely worth the wait. Former workstations have not been able to keep up with the ideas in my head. This machine is so insanely easy to use, a toddler could write a hit on it. The SHIFT button literally takes you everywhere quickly. Pages are clearly marked. Patch groups are clearly marked. The sampler is super easy and the sound overall is crystal clear. I recommend using a larger capacity SD card and definitely backup all data to your laptop so you will not need to redo your work. The only concern I have is the plastic casing. If this were in a metal case, that would be ideal. The plus here is that is is very light and a good carrying case should suppress fears of damaging it. Just be careful. The sounds are amazing. The Integra sound source is to die for and the Roland site also has even more sounds you can download into the unit. I highly recommend this and plan on buying another one.
