Re: Why did you buy an FA 6 ?

I love my FA08, and have expected the normal Roland quirkiness, such as the usual terrible owner's manual (which is why we need our forums), and all the strange ways you have to edit and save multiple things in the right order, and its limited expansion ability. It is what it is, while the sounds an...

Re: How to feed the vocoder with a sample?

So many possibilities...and questions like these reveal our workstations will never be complete stand-alone creating devices or quick & able prep-for-live devices until they house the power and large screens of a laptop or ipad type computer. (sorry..a little rant here) That being said, the tric...

Re: live amplification

oohh..no no. ;) thanks for trying to help, but.. You get what you pay for with those light-up flea-market-sold DJ speakers, and normally not even all you paid for. I'd say the raw power rating is probably off &/or sounds unclean or altered especially at certain or high volumes. You paid good mon...

I was using a USB powered bendable gooseneck light which I could manually aim where I needed it. That can work for some, but it's limi...

Re: How are your FAs doing so far?

So far, so good. Love the sounds. It takes awhile to navigate through all the sounds, so making favorites is key, especially when deciding which expansion sounds to make quickly available.
