FA-06/07/08 Editor for Windows

Post by tchelomgf »

Hello FA community:

I´m just launching the new FA Workstation Editor for Windows.

I hope you enjoy it! Donate me a beer if you like it (link in the app), and keep me motivated to continue this development.

If you have troubles, suggestions, comments, just put here in this post.

Cheers!

Congratulations it's very good!
Thanks for your efforts, donated a few beers, well deserved!!! :)

I might have some suggestions for improvements down the road...

It's not said but the Roland FA USB Driver need to be in: VENDOR (MIDI+AUDIO) in General System Settings.
I had it in GENERIC (Midi Only) and it reads everything and sends parts but when sending Studio Set it would freeze the program. It was necessary to unplug the USB or restart FA to work again.

Thanks for the update. And thank you especially for the manual. The video you made is very attractive but things are so fast (that is for me it is!) that I could not exactly see what and how. I will check the manual to see if even an old guy can understand your great program!

Hi, first of all, thanks, this is an amazing software that saves a lot of time when you need to prepare your gig.
I am a Mac user, so tried to run with crossover (to run Win apps in Mac) but was unlucky, but I will give a try in my old W7 laptop.
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!
Could you share some details, error logs, that I can use to investigate and try to make app compatible?

Could you please, check if you can install the following dependency .NET frameworks:

Thank you so much for all your work! Being able to call up studio sets to and from the FA and save them to computer in dedicated software is such a nice thing. Wish I had more time to play with it a little more at present. Looking forward to tone editing and whatever else you might be able to cook up. Godspeed!

Since this editor is developed under Visual Studio .NET 2015, could you check if you are able to install the runtime in your Crossover environment ?
