Roland FA07 Only #jamuary2023 28

#rolandfa07 #jamuary2023

On the home stretch now...I don't feature this instrument enough, mostly because it's a pain to film the whole thing without anything else. But I definitely should feature it more (16 tracks?!! Beautiful Roland sounds?!! Built in SP-404(sort of)?!!)

Also look out for my concentration face in the front panel reflection :D

I've had this keyboard for about 8 years and it still holds up. You really get a lot for your money. You can write full songs on the keyboard itself or export individual tracks/full song to a DAW. You only get 2 expansion slots but the free ones from the Roland Axial site are good.

I considered upgrading to a Fantom 0 series but instead got the MC-707 to compliment my FA07. Now I have the guts of what's in the Fantom 0 series (the Zencore engine) from the 707 + everything in the FA. I use the FA as a controller to play 707 sounds. The two of them combined with my MPC Live 2 (with my custom keygroups and autosampled external instruments) is quite a powerful arsenal of writing/recording power.

You won't believe it but I was in the market for this Fantom or a Juno-X or something, but I decided to not buy Roland yet and go for something else. Glad you showed the instrument here.
