help Roland FA-06 FAQ
Is the Roland FA-06 a MIDI controller or a complete keyboard workstation?
The FA-06 is primarily a 61-key workstation with Roland sounds, effects, pads, and sequencing features. It can send MIDI over USB, but it does not require a computer to produce music.
How many keys and sequencer tracks does the Roland FA-06 have?
It has 61 velocity-sensitive keys and a 16-track sequencer. That makes it suitable for arranging several instrumental parts rather than only triggering one software instrument.
Can the FA-06 handle drums and sample-based parts?
Yes. Its 16 performance pads can trigger drums, samples, and other assigned sounds, while the workstation engine supplies built-in tones and rhythm parts.
How does the Roland FA-06 compare with the Korg Kross 2?
Both are portable 61-key workstations with built-in sounds and sequencing, but their sound libraries and interfaces differ. The FA-06 is centered on Roland's SuperNATURAL engine and pad-based workflow, while the Kross 2 uses Korg's EDS-i sound engine.
