Hi all, Is there a way to set a "system date time" (i mean, date, day, hour, minutes) onto Roland FA08 keyboard ? i am saying that, cause every time i export a song (wav mix, or other type of export) into the SD Card, resulting written files are dated: 2013 ?! .. i tried to find a related system menu, but seems it is missing.. thanks in advance. bye.

hi Scott, thank you again for your valuable and useful tips! i have read about MOXF7 and FA08 comparison you linked, and about what you wrote in your post..but i am not able to take a decision, yet :| i'am looking for the Roland F07 and not FA08 cause FA07 price is the max budget i can afford and i'd use it it at home (so not need to travel with it) i know FA08 has a different keybed (probably better than the Fa07, or not?) and 88 keys, but i already own a Yamaha P-120 88 keys that is pretty old, but i like its keybed action (i think it has aftertouch too..) and so i could use Yamaha P120 as a "master keyboard" to eventually drive the FA07 sounds via midi (sincerely i dot not know if this is a good idea, but it might be...what do you think about?) i am indeed doubtful about which keyboard to buy..i mean among Yamaha moxf8 and roland fa07...let me explain, so you might help me to dissolve my doubts: my will is to buy a keyboard that has really good sounds and a lot of them.. cause i already own a computer DAW, so FA07/FA08 sequencer features are not so important, and owning the yamaha P120, even Roland fa07 keybed quality might be not so critic albeit important, so at the end, the most important feature are keyboard sounds! and i must admit i have always loved Roland sounds.. This is the crucial point: Is Roland FA07 keyboard worth buying for (only) its quality sounds (and total # of them)? (Or does exist another keyboard with better and comparable quality & same nr.# of total sounds in its price range ?) You might say that instead buying a keyboard, i should redirect my efforts in VST sounds, this could be true but i think roland FA07 has a lot of (good) sounds and buying comparable vst sounds could be very expensive. Or am i wrong ? Thanks...bye.

hi Scott, i really thank you for pointed it out to me..i didn't know those details; then, in the light of what you wrote about FA07 missing most of SN Acoustic tones, it would be great, if in the near future, Roland could introduce these missing tones in new downlodable EXP sounds pack!..But maybe is only "a dream" cause I have doubts that they will do that, since Integra 7 will might lose its value...but who knows..(i really do not know anything about marketing strategies) my concern is to choose the best (right) keyboard suitable for me, since it's an important spending for me, infact i am attracted also from Yamaha MoxF8 that has a similar price range of the Roland FA07.. after reading some forum posts, from my limited knowledge, i have learned that Moxf8 has better Acoustic/Guitars sounds and powerful arpeggiator function..and Roland FA07 could have better piano and synth sounds but Roland FA07(/FA06/FA08) arpeggiator function is so "weak/powerless" compared to the MoxF8 one ? Did any forum user has got & tested the Roland FA07 yet ?

Hi all, i am new here pls forgive my english language...great forum! i am an "rather old but not so old" piano/keyboard player.. i am very attracted by this Roland FA07, i saw some youtube demonstration videos and i think it could like it!, i am not a "live player" so i'd use it in home studio.. ..i am wondering about the following things about the Roland FA07: - in this video Scott Tibbs, says circa at 1m.34s "roland fa07 has all that previous Fa06/Fa08 have, but also new sounds.." so anyone knows about "what new sounds" is talking about ? since i thought that roland fa06/07/08 series share all the same sounds.. instead seems that roland fa07 could have different (new) sounds..from the previous fa06/fa08 - another thing is related to the sequencer: say that i am recording a single track in the internal roland fa07 sequencer using the "JP8 strings1"..well if i turn left/right the "sound modify knobs" excatly like in this frame (video): still while i am recording, Will this information be recorded into the sequencer track ? i mean, after finished recording, hearing the recorded track, will i hear the effects of the turned knobs during the recording session ? thanks in advance.. bye.
