Stiffness or resistance overall is different from getting stiffer as you move toward the rear of the keys. The FA-06 had less resistance than FA-07, but it still had the issue of getting stiffer as you moved further back. (And I think it seems even worse, because the keys are shorter to begin with....

About non-hardware differences between FA-06 and Fantom-06: Features that you might miss when switching from the FA-06 to the Fantom-06: Linear sequencer and ability to export songs as WAV. Multiple pad sample sets: On the FA-06, the 64 pad samples are stored per song, and you can quickly switch be...

My issue with the pads is that you have to hit them in a certain way for the keyboard to register the hit. It works okay for many use cases, like switching keyboard groups, or "triggering" samples for intros. However, I would not use them for "playing". A specific example: I wou...

I asked a couple of months ago but the Fantom 0 series had just been released so I'm hoping that maybe a few more people may have converted or picked up 06s. I LOVE my FA-06 with two major exceptions: 1. The "shaved keys" - the keys are all a bit smaller than standard in all dimensions - s...

I saw one discussion on this but the person is waiting on the O6 to arrive. I love my FA except for one thing: Overly loud black keys. I HATE it for that. (Well, I also hate the "shaved keys" size but I could at least live with that if the freaking black keys and white keys play the same v...

I play a Roland FA06 in a rock Cover band and place my EV ZLX15 about 4/5 feet behind me and it sounds incredibly loud to me but I'm told im too low in the mix by the audience...this is evident on video we take as well. What can I do to project more into the audience without blasting myself? Well, ...

1. I put it on a Z stand. Are you supposed to align the rubber feet to sit on the 1" wide pieces of metal on the stand? If not, what are my options? Whatever works. Stands are generally "universal" unless you buy a purpose built one for a specific keyboard. If you're lucky, the feet ...

Thanks Brian. I was actually finally able to get the 30 day trial set up so I've figured out some of this since I posted, but I do have a few more questions: ZENOLOGY Pro comes with six banks of presets, labeled A-G. So it looks like Zeno has a PCM engine, a VA engine, a PCM Sync, Supersaw and Noise...

Are there Tone/Patch/Preset lists for these devices? Like I look at the XV-5080 - what's in it? Is it the same presets as the hardware 5080? More? Fewer? If they're all the same as the hardware, easy enough, though I see it looks like for some things, like the Jupiter, there's a separate thing that ...

Hi. I just tried Zenology Lite and I already know I want it. I ran 8 instances/tracks on my MBP in Logic as AUs. It used about 6 or so processing threads with the CPU hitting about 25% max on most of them, though one of the threads was hovering up closer to 50% most of the time. I tried another proj...

Do you already have an older Mac?

I assume you already have the FA-08 right?

I own a FA 06 great keyboard ! but please Roland PLEASE. a firmware update to add a option for -15 velocity on black keys!!!! or just fix it outright make the velocity values the same as the white or be able to adjust in more detail. A little digging and you will see im not alone. I have to route m...

The FA06 keys are definitely my kind of quality. I'm glad there's one person on the planet who likes them :-) I have the A-800 Pro as well and it's the same keyboard - BUT WITH AFTERTOUCH! So much better out of the gate. You can't "turn off" the Velocity curves but there are 12 of them an...

Why is it that every Roland / Edirol product I have purchased is now obsolete and unsupported? Never again Roland. Well, #1, Edirol. #2, they're no different than Apple or anyone else - and unfortunately we as consumers have allowed this to happen - even instigated it. I have a meeting tomorrow to ...

Hi all, I currently have an 88-keys digital piano Kawai ES100, nothing fancy but it does the job to practice and has midi in/out already. I also would very much like to start working on an analog synth. With few research, the Moog Grandmother has caught up my eye but I'm open minded, the Korg Minil...
