Roland reimagines the music workstation in its new FA series, taking the "work" out of the music workstation. Featuring a 61-note velocity-sensitive keyboard and inheriting the massive sound collection from the flagship INTEGRA-7, studio-quality effects, and expressive real-time controls, plus onboard sampling with zero load time for instant audio playback, the FA-08 represent effortless real-time power, ultra-fast workflow, and maximum versatility. Flowing seamlessly into every part of your creative world, the FA-08 morphs instantly from a standalone keyboard to become the command centre of your computer music studio. Capture songs and ideas as they come with the simple operation and non-stop loop recording of the sequencer and export them as multi-track data to use with your DAW.
