Random Question about Roland Fa06

[Corley20]

I know this is a Nord Forum . I have Nord Stage 3 So i figure i ask my Nord Friends that might Have a Fa06. Can i Save a transpose on Fa06? I I typically wouldnt need to. But its something thats bugging me and i cant find anything on it.

You can save any transposition you want in a "Studio Set" in an FA06, FA07, or FA08. A Studio Set in the FA can have up to 16 parts in it, each of which can have separate transpositions assigned (if desired).

I have an FA-07 and an Electro 3. My summary: The Electro has better sounds for Organ, Wurli, and EP. The FA has much better splits capability than even the Stage, and has a nice collection of sounds that are useful in covers band in its "EXP-02" collection. Nord has better acoustic piano sounds, but Roland FA has a usable mono AP sound which sits well in the mix in a covers band, even when used in mono, even though it sounds yucky when played standalone.

Many people dislike the FA-06 because how its black keys respond when played closer to the back of the keys. General opinion seems to be that the FA-07 keybed (also semi-weighted) is not as bad, but is also not perfect. More info can be found here: http://forums.musicplayer.com/ubbthread ... ost2946495

There is a forum here general-synthesizers-keyboards-forum-f6/ where Nord-users can discuss all the non-Nord products

If you're looking to replace your Juno Stage with a newer Roland, you might also want to look at the Juno DS. The DS and the FA each do a bunch of things the other does not, and some of the FA's biggest advantages--tonewheel organ and VA synth emulation--are nicely covered in your Nord Stage 3 anyway.

It can be saved, but... I bought an FA as an expansion to my Stage 2. I sent it back as soon as I could . The large variety of voices just sounded the same, dull and lifeless compared to the Nord... I went for a Stage 3 and I can cover all the sound in a cover band.

how do u do it ? Ive tried and i just dont know how

It´s very similar on the Juno Stage. I bought the Fa-06 to replace my old Juno G, and my Juno is still in my house and the FA-06 in a new home!!

Ok guys listen i dont have the juno stage anymore.. I need help on learning how to save a transpose to a studio set

Check the video a

If you're new to the FA Studio Sets, the whole video is worth watching, but he shows the transpose function at about 6 minutes in. He demonstrates using octave shifts, but the same screen also has coarse and fine tuning controls for each part.

Maybe the owners manual can help!
