[Roland FA-06 and FA-08]

Finally I choosed what would be a long-term option : Kronos 61. The set-list mode is what I need.

 

But I must say, after another try, that the FA 06 is a great sounding keyboard especially for the price.

 

Thank you for your help, sorry for hijacking this thread.

Yes. That is a huge question. What exactly do you want to know?

 

I play mainly in pro covers band (top40/pop/rock/country).

 

I use my Roland RD-800 for piano/EP and some pad.

 

Do you think the Roland FA-06 would be a good keyboard for all other sounds? (mainly : organs, brass ensemble, strings, flute, banjo, lead synth, dance pad)

 

Or should a put much more money into a Korg Kronos? Is it worth it?

 

Thank you, your opinion would be appreciated

Does someone know how the Roland FA-06 sounds compare with the Kronos?

[Roland FA-06 and FA-08]

600$ CND = 500$ USD (ish)

I just tried a Korg Kronos (first generation) today. I like the screen and the OS, but I'm not sure about the acoustic sounds. B3 was great, some good EP too.

 

It's a demo in a music store, at 1999$ CND, but I can get the FA-06 at 600$ CND.

 

Of course the Kronos is much more powerful... and the keyboard (61 notes versions) feel way better than the Roland. I don't know what to do...

Hi,

 

This tread is very interesting. I'm actually trying a used (mint) Roland FA-06 at home. I may buy it at good price if I like it. My Korg Triton Extreme is getting old and I wanted to try something new mainly for organs/strings/brass/synth sounds.

 

In the headphone or studio monitors, it sound good but I'm not sure it will 'cut through' in a live mix like the Triton.

 

How good (or bad) doing the Roland FA in a full band live setting? I play every style of music : country, top40 pop and rock music, and many others. Thank you.
