Common Roland FA-06 Questions
How do I set up my Roland FA-06 to send MIDI to my DAW?
First, connect the FA-06 to your computer via USB. Then, in your DAW's MIDI settings, select the "Roland FA-06" as both the input and output device to enable two-way communication.
How do I save my custom sounds (Live Sets) and patterns on the FA-06?
To save a Live Set, press [MENU], navigate to 'System,' then 'Write Live Set.' Choose a location and press [ENTER]. For patterns, use the sequencer functions, and select 'Save As' from the pattern menu.
What's the easiest way to layer multiple sounds (tones) on the FA-06?
Use the "Studio Set" feature; you can assign up to 16 tones to different parts (keys or zones) and tweak their parameters within the same Studio Set to create layered, split or velocity-switched patches.
Why is there no sound coming from my FA-06 even though the screen is on and I'm playing keys?
Check the volume knob on the front panel and ensure it's not set to minimum or muted. Also, check your headphone connection and if you are using external speakers make sure that they are powered on and the correct outputs are selected.
How can I use the FA-06's 'D-Beam' controller?
The D-Beam is a motion sensor controller; you can assign it to control various parameters (pitch bend, filter, volume, etc.) by selecting a patch in the 'Tone Edit' section, navigating to the 'Ctrl Assign' menu, and assigning your chosen parameter to the D-Beam.
