The Roland FA-06 is a next generation, 61 key music workstation for studio and live use.
With a built in audio interface and advanced DAW integration, getting your productions from studio to the stage; with a high quality keyboard and light weight. The FA-06 ships with a massive library of sounds taken from the flagship Integra-7 module, including classic synths, drums, acoustic instruments and everything in between.
Connect the FA-06 via high speed firewire and integrate seamless with DAW platforms such as Logic, Cubase and Sonar with built in templates to get you up and running straight away. You can also record via the high quality mic inputs, guitar input or stereo line inputs built into the FA-06. The DAW also feeds back into the FA-06 for line level monitoring or headphones. The USB also handles both the stereo inputs, outputs and MIDI simultaneously.
The FA-06 features 128 voices of polyphony lending itself to complex arrangement and productions and has been designed from the ground up to seamlessly integrate the sampler and sequencer functions. The sampler section loads all its samples from an SD card freeing up your RAM for the overall production or arrangement, and can be triggered from the 16 multi-function trigger pads that can either launch samplers or allow you to tap in rhythm or note parts.
