YAMAHA MOXF Vs ROLAND FA Serie | JAM Pt.1 

Best head to head demo I have ever seen......and it was shot in 2014. You bring out the best in both. Wow.

They both would compliment each other in production and live performance.

I've owned both keyboards. Both are about equal when it comes to sounds, one shining here, another there. What I had trouble with was Yamaha's UI. Very difficult to work with. Ended up selling it and buying the Roland. If you are a single instrument guy and dedicate yourself completely to that one instrument then you can work past the UI in the Yamaha and eventually master it. But if you have multiple instruments go with the Roland as it has an easier learning curve.

"The way your heart sounds Makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats Makes all the difference In learning to live..."

it's about presence & work flow for me although how many engines do make a difference but at the end of the day it's about your work flow & presence and budget!!!

They are both really good key boards. I think I will get them both.

Além destes timbres, no meu MOXF6 eu coloquei samples do piano de cauda Bösendorfer Imperial 290; do piano de cauda Steinway & Sons D, da guitarra Washburn Les Paul Win STD, do baixo Yamaha TRBX305, e outros efeitos. Ou seja o Yamaha MOXF6 vai MUITÍSSIMO ALÉM destes timbres do vídeo.

I like the look and feel of the Yamaha. It's got a certain character. The sounds are less glossy on the Yamaha and a tad brighter on the Roland but more processed sp my preference is the Yamaha. It would look hot in anyone's studio.

This appears to be a Roland FA08.

MOX(F)6 would be a nice addition to my Fantom G6, Korg M3 and Integra 7. Oh this gearlust is terrible. ;)

Yamaha's stock pianos, and Electric Pianos have always been the best. Now I know it's about preference when it comes to Roland, and Yamaha. But I've been playing keyboards for about 13 years now and Roland's pianos has never been able to measure up to Yamahas pianos.

@4:33 - That sounds incredible.

Very nice video, thanks. I'm far more impressed by the MOXF sounds thans the FA (but impressed by all your skills lol).... should be mine soon :)

Synth leads of the MOXF are great, though, I normally end up building my own ones. On the other hand electric pianos of the MOXF look like the exact same samples of the first series of the Motif (of 2002 - I had one for many years). As usual like a lot Roland grand piano. They both look like very good instruments for the price range. I tried an FA08 once, they are VERY different for what concerns the functionalities, the sequencer and the onboard sampler are impressive on the FA08. Don't know about the MOXF. I found it very ergonomic. That small display has an insane resolution. It fits much more information than the one of the MOXF.

You are an excellent keyboardist, really great finger work!

Those sample pads on the FA 06 man 😍😍

Ok... Let's get into this... :-) These reviews should do more than play patches/programmes - afterall it's not 1980.. Take us through the combination options - are the fx available per single sound or is it a handful of fx shared across 1 to ## Patches? Btw - both synths are excellent sound tools, what separates them is all the other features that one expects from a hardware synth "workstation".

Hearing both in a music store, I found the sound quite different than recorded here, even though it's done extremely well. I though the pianos on the MOXF6 were passable, not great. But the FA06 really sounded weak. Both suffered in the mid range, having that synthetic sound of a synth trying hard to mimic a piano but coming up short - like those cheap Casio keyboards when they first came out. The FA06 organs is where the unit really shined, as you can hear here. Deep and rich, great leslie, Hammond B3 but the MOXF6 had a decent showing. Overall I didn't find the Roland having a lot of usable gig sounds, e.g. snap electric bass (couldn't even find a preset.) Both are certainly excellent machines and won't put you in pangs of major regret like buying synths many years ago where differences were dramatic. But I think that if piano is important, the MOXF6 is easily the better of the two. Also the MOXF6 had a more diverse amount of usable sounds and the FA06 looks and feels toyish, although I liked the keyboard much better (it's totally different than the FA08 here.) Fantastic video and great chops shows off the differences.

Personally I would like to have them both They are both amazing Keyboards wish I had the money to Purchase both of them... I am very sad :-(

Roland definitely got the looks !! But in this comparison Yamaha sounded richer and more realistic for my taste.. (Although reason can be the voice/sfx setup..etc.)

Ufff el video que veía varias veces por octubre del 2014 :3

I have the MOX6 but feel like some of the Roland sounds later on were inspiring

Yamaha sounds incredible wayyyy better, hands down!

I liked both keyboards very much. I own and play both Yamaha & Roland. I preferred the Yamaha over the Roland even tho' I thought FA's acoustic piano was slightly better than the Yam on this machine. I use the MOXF6 at gigs. I like the light weight, easy presets and performances. Roland has a better viewing screen, Yamaha's is a bit too small. Yamaha's Hammond organ patches and elec. pianos are slightly better and brighter than the Roland's on these units. I love Yamaha's brass settings and the 80's brass stuff. String patches and elec. guitar are about equal on both. Roland has slightly better wild "synthy" sounds, especially if you're doing 80's material. Yamaha has better natural orchestral instrument sounds like trumpet, sax, violin, cello, harp, oboe, etc.... Yamaha wins the duel.....but only by a nose.

2:15 DREAM THEATER! 😀

These are both great keyboards and well worth the money. The Yamaha is perfect for church and I'm sure it excels at jazz and mellow pop, but I have the Roland FA-08 and can tell you that the sounds in person are jaw-droppingly beautiful. They are mostly skewed towards classic Roland synth sounds that just sound incredibly smooth. I have no regrets and prefer the Roland but would be perfectly happy with either one.

it's like this video is in favor of yamaha because the mixing of the sound system or speaker was obviously compatible to yamaha or been set up already in the mixer unlike in the roland,it sounds so light and thin while the speaker sounds little bit haze and distorted during the synthesizer sounds of roland but i like this video demonstration of this both great electronic keyboard brand. thanks!

Roland é Roland, cada categoria de teclado com seus timbres de piano...Já os pianos do Mox lembra muitos os antigos PSRs. Sei não gosto é gosto.

you play very good! where did you study? I am a classical pianist, can play only Mozart, Bach, but cannot improvise. I really impressed about your play))

MOXF6 pianos,eps best :)

i like Roland FA06 Synthesizer part and Yamaha MOXF6 sound tone

Tough choice. I like both Yamaha and Roland keyboards. In fact, my gig setup is a Yamaha CP4 and a Roland VR-09. Each have their strengths and weaknesses. I think I'd give the Roland a thumbs up for the organ patches.

The Yamaha sounded much more organic to me in this video. Heck, it was almost like it was going thru a better preamp, or was recorded at a hotter level. At least the Roland Fa sounds better on Roland Corp's youtube videos than it does here. But based on this video, I'd go with the MOXF6.

Yamaha is better as always when it comes to sounds!!! Screen, pads, sampling is a definite plus for Roland...

The screen and sequencer was a selling point for me.. Had to go with Roland. No one in the audience is going to notice the slight difference in sounds between the two anyway, and if your using it for studio you may as well go with plug-ins that blow both of these boards away.

So Yamaha may sound a bit better, but will you have the patience to learn how to use it. Yamaha's keyboards are hard as hell to figure out, and Roland is super user-friendly.

Justo seria comparar com as mesmas versões de teclas, leves ou pesadas...

Prefered the Yamaha on pretty much every front, well except the organs (and maybe ambient synths)

what is the name of the 2nd piece you played at 0:20 ? please help brother. .

With my FA08 I can split the keyboard up to 16 parts but I also layer different sounds in a setup to create amazing fat sounds. I can also trigger audio parts with the 16 pads when playing. I dont think that the Moxf can do that. Right ?

To me, My humble opinion, it has a lot to do with the player and the sound trought RU-vid, Ieft my house ready to buy Yamaha for the sweeter and natural sound, but came back with the Roland FA08, the sounds are brighter in person, the ease to use and program, despite there are sounds not abailable in the FA but you can download Soundcanvas app and have fun with it.

For me there similar but i love the MOXF rhodes

Same Same... But the Roland have the better display. Yamaha do something the year is 2015.

So I was thinking about selling my Yamaha S90es to buy a lighter 88-key. I, too, went and played the FA-08. It has some great sounds, and I really, really like the way the sounds are not cut off when you change them. However, I still think Yamaha rules in certain areas, like Strings. Overall, I'm not too sold on the FA-08 yet, even though I like a lot of what it has.I think I'll wait and hold on to my S90es.

Aside from Dream Theater parts these videos remind me of the old organ stores in the mall. I’d really a brief sample of Piano, Strings, then focus of synth.

Grrreat playing!

Yamaha moxf6 Mythical Sound all Samples and All Piano Yamaha generator Sound (AWM2 Articulation) Yamaha Very Very Excellent quality Sound

Yamaha MOXF6 VS Roland FA06

Yamaha makes good stuff, no doubt, but I'm partial to Roland so I always end up getting the Rolands. And while the Rolands usually fall short on features, the sound and UI usually are worth it for me.

Yamaha motif xf ou moxf sont les meilleurs 👍👍👍

MIsleading it's not a Roland FA06, it's an FA08. not a fair comparrison. The Yamaha has a 61 key synth keyboard and the FA08 has an 88 note weighted keyboard which means the velocity sensitivity, and the way it's played and therefore the way it sounds is going to be completely different. Compare the MOXF6 and and FA06 and it would be a fair test.

Overall I like the MOXF better. Already have a Fantom so FA is just more of the same for me.

Both have great sounds...difficult to say if the yam is better or else! For the (low) prices, they give very good performances in terms of sounds' quality!

Strings ensembles, acoustic guitars and pianos are way better on the yamaha !!

I have a Yamaha motor , Yamaha audio amp , Yamaha NS10 , Yamaha moxf6 , Yamaha sy55 , Yamaha tg55 , Yamaha cs1x , Yamaha cs2c , Yamaha 231 bugel.........why should that been ?

DT and LTE! nice hehehe

Why does the caption say "Yamaha MOXF6 VS Roland FA06 jamming by S4K" when the Roland is clearly an FA08?

Yamaha win. More expression and dinamic.

Yamaha MOXF6 is better

It's sad but Yamaha is the king of these romplers. Most of the sounds are just radio ready without much tweaking. The Roland is going to sound canned and fake without some serious studio work.

I am just gonna say that with Roland keyboard you have to be the type of person will personalize your tone to suit your needs. Same think with #korg. Yamaha tone comes and overly tweaked and load of reverb. Jus saying personally I rather have the #roland Fa.

Yamaha sounds good , but the mofx tones are limited.. the fa wins, because you can mix upto 16 tones in one set of sound..

Even in 2018 guitar sounds are still best left to guitars, not synths. (maybe not fingerpicked acoustic sounds... those are actually pretty good on synths.) I am shopping for my next 61 key workstation and have been focusing on Korg and Roland. Does the Yamaha play SAMPLES? Can i record a one shot sound effect and trigger it on the MOXF6?

Yamaha wins in the strings, synth basses and lead sounds areas.

the roland organs are great, but still, the mo wins for me, i own a kronos though, and must admit the good sounds on it are the best, especially the piano, however for orchestral i think the motif wins, but all are great, i really do love some roland sounds

Have you ever tried Triton Extreme?I have the one Derek Sherinian had.You can hear it on some you tube videos.Stîll a war machine.One can make great sounds.

Moxf sounds more realistic

I'm reading comments and getting a strong feeling that the pro Yamaha comments are most likely from people who already like Yamaha units to begin with. I am a longtime fan and user of yamaha from the S-80 to the current Motif while dismissing the Roland's for a decade now But...I've played the Roland and thevyamaha in this video and the Roland has a lot more depth and a certain "finish". The integra is an amazing piece of hardware and Roland is definitely playing catch up since their restructuring of management. Kronos is still the tech leader on many fronts but Roland is catching up.

I think both are monsters and are worthy in their own right! For what I got in years past at 1,800 dollars did not even compare to what's under the hood now. The capabilities are endless. And still at 1,800 bucks for the eighty eight keyboard! I like the simplicity and versatility of the roland and the bigger screen. Doesn't yamaha realize that the bigger screen is a super great selling feature for those of us who can't see that well and/or for those who even can? It's like the big screen tvs are getting bigger and better and cheaper so would someone shed some light please? Especially in poorly lit venues.Why would they cut back there? Anyway I do like most of their patches .If roland sounds as good as far as pianos and strings for instance they have my vote. I'll have to test drive them both.

im very upst with the fact that roland didnt let you sample a sound and use it for playing and also they didnt add sliding knobs and no sound stretch.. this makes the kronos X my favorite workstation

I like your video..i went with the Roland FA-06...Awesome Sequence and very easy to get around....check out some Vids i did on this gear.. Roland FA-06 - Mr. Roland is out at the Beach

Yamaha moxf6 best

Dude Tyros is Yamahas most expensive Keyboard and it has the finest sounds but you are right it is an arranger and for making keyboards you dont need that.

Roland got umm beat !!! the tone is a beast !!!!

I'm seriously considering the Roland plus the pads are nice but they could have included speakers on the 2 blank spaces at each end. Plus I like the joystick over the mod wheel. The MOXF is more expensive then the Roland.

Let's try everything with korg pa series.....

Cuál es el mejor de los dos ?

Roland FA for me

Which one is easier to use, track record, etc??

I love two keyboards!:)

Although the Yamaha is richer in tone...The FA06 is more for performance and the MoFX is more for writing and soloing due to all the arps

'Better' is a relative term. All just down to personal opinion.

Roland FA 08 é SHOW!!!!!

FA-08??

Roland💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍

The FA-08 has fantastic keyboard feel. I just can't take that plastic enclosure and overall aesthetics. What happened to the industrial design nowadays? Keyboard instruments used to be sleek and beautiful in about between 1983-1991.

Yamaha moxf all day! ;)

Yamaha has a famous Sound quallity

Liquid Tension Experiment!!!! ;-)

hello, how did you set your global eq?

You can't compare these two synths. The Roland has 2000+ sounds, plus expansion for free. My new FA has 2700 sound patches. The Yamaha MOX has 1152. That's it.

I'm just listening to this video. Every time it gets boring and flat, I look up, and whoa, there is Roland.

Roland wins on every category of sound

Great comparisson

Based on this vid, I like the moxf6. Roland sounded ok.

There are not romplers, they are full synthesizers....so what about the synthesis, how deep does it go? True synth buyers don't by for the presets, we buy for the sound design capabilities. What is the strength of one over the other?

the FA-06 has smaller keys than normal key size, cant tell in this video cause it is a Fa-08

tommy Mandel...You're right

1000% ALWAYS YAMAHA MOXF

YAMAHA está de parabéns...A Roland caiu de qualidade
