Roland FA-06/08 - How to create a song with Arpeggios 

I think I'm now loving my FA-06 much more; it's not only a keyboard with new voices.

Ed...I really appreciate these tutorials, dude! Helping me unlock the most from my FA-08! Happy playing my friend.

Great video Ed, it's a pity there's no one replying to all the questions. But here's my input to make our own arpeggios: 1. Start the sequencer and clean it for data 2. Using track 1, 1-4 measures 3. Record your arpeggio 4. Save as a song (incl. studio set) 5. Pres to the arpeggio button, and scroll through the user locations. 6. Import track one by pressing Shift+import(song), 7. Import the track of your newly made song to user arpeggio (remember to set "Mortif"=ON). Now you can play arpeggio with your own style. (See more on page 34 in the FA 08 Reference book)

Thank you for continuing to make more FA videos they really help me get around this as my first workstation. I'm usually in synth world.

Love your videos. Great pace and always helpful.

all your videos are awesome and helpful, Ed! thank you!

Super helpful! Thanks, Ed!

Wow, I hear so much melody parts I can put in with that haha, that was great. Right now I have DS61 and JDXI and love them both, looking to buy the FA 06 to add. Looking on ebay for one :)

Hi Ed, congratulaions and thanks for the tips!

Hi Ed, love your tutorials ! Quick Question: can I use a fantom 07 as a master to a fantom 6 (to make use of the bigger keyed) ?

COOL INFO :-)

I love my fa. Sounds awesome real

Hey Ed, I really enjoy your videos. Would you be able to do a video on the Roland JDXi arpeggiator. I have used it and I have gone into the settings, however I am not sure on some of the features. Eg motif up, down, accent etc. There are a lot of videos on the JDXi, however none on the arpeggiator. Thank you

hi Ed, I’ve never tackled my FA08 seriously yet, just used it as a stage piano so far. Time to get started, don’t you think.:)

that's cool. is it possible to have an arpeggio running on each part in a studio set WITHOUT using the sequencer to record it? Like the Motif can have several different arps running at once.

how can I get a harder deeper drum bass.you are a Tru god send man to do what u do.

The tutorials i like the most, creating a song with a music workstation/Synth...

Hi Ed, I own an FA-08 but a real novices, are there pre recorded songs other than the demo's that would have other studio sets already set up available?

hi i'm new to the fa 06 and i have some issues with it: first, when I press record i dont hear any metronome and i cant see the bpm no matter what i press? anyone familiar with this problem and knows how to fix it? thanks

you are great ;D

Hi ed. With samples I import to the Roland fa sampler . Can I save and map each sample to keys and save as drum kit instrument patch ?

When you have made this sequence can you than use it as some kind of accompinament and chance it on different chords?

Ed, is there a way to latch the left hand chords, (and when I press another chords, the previous played notes stops) I went deep into it but didn't found....pls help

Can you record the audio of a song in the midi sequencer? Like a wav file that plays simultaneously with the midi files?

Is that possible to assign any effects to arpeggio and save?

Subscribed.

What are the options for folks whom want the Arpeggios of the FA-series, but not the workstation?

Hi Ed how do I set up the D-beam on the fa-06?

What's the name of this keyboard u are using

Can someone clarify me the different between Fa 06, 07 and 08? I notice most of tutorial talk about Fa 06 and Fa 08 and not much about Fa 07. Is Fa07 different from the other two?

And what can you begin with this loop later

Awesome. The FA is the easiest workstation to use.

I wish you would do a lesson on how to make more traditional styles of music ( rock, 50s oldies, country, etc...) Every video is always making a 4 measure loop of random techno music ...just saying ...real musicians bought this keyboard too ...just a lil food for thought

How do you transport.

only thing missing is previewing samples when importing

What does lock and unlock do on fa

I dont know why, buzt somehow the arpeggio doesnt work on my fa06

is there any keyboard piano out there that does everything and is great for songwriting and cost $400-$500

Esse tutorial em português?

Need, NAOW!

Arpeggios in Roland is a something like big mistake. It's disaster. Yamaha and Korg rulezz.
