Ed Diaz is a freakin legend

ed, thanks a bunch for your contribution to us starving folks.

Thank you Mr. Diaz! I made my first Studio Set tonight thanks to you! I needed an authentic bass/horns/DX7 split + layer type sound for “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney. This video (and a few others of yours) was a HUGE help! I know you made this 6 years ago, but it’s helping people in April of 2022! 🤘🏻🎹

Ed, Thank you I am in my studio learning more about my FA 07 from this video. Here in the Philippines,

Very nice to guide for everything... Thanks very much

Great tut as always.

Thank u ed. roland rules

Mr Diaz, Thanks for giving me the idea to Order my Gibraltar dual keyboard stand. I Love It, looks and feels great.

Can you save a studio set as a tone in order to add to it to another studio set part? That way when you are in part mode if you hit "5" it could be a layer, but if you hit "1" it can be a single tone?

Hi Ed, iit’s possible to suggest for next update system 2.02?...the selection of studio set, by the numeric buttons under the display?like for the tones, using shift for example, this for very fast studioset changes on stage on live set, we know it’s possible through the numeric pad, but ehen we use pad for sampling, to dedicate the numeric buttons to the sound selection it could be easier. THks anyway for yr support

Do any of you guys have recommendations on a good amp to use for splitting a keyboard for bass on one end and other instruments on the other?

Can you create a "Studio Set" in which each track is assigned to a given midi channel from your DAW, so that each track plays a different sound from your keyboard when used in Daw control mode?

Hi Ed, When I'm using Favorites (specifically the SHIFT+FAVORITE view) the tones seem to take on the effects settings of the currently selected Studio Set. Sometimes I don't want that as it results in extra reverb etc. Is there a way around that? I just want the tones to sound the same as they do in 'Single' mode when I'm using Favorites (the same way the Fantom-X Favorites operated). Not sure if I'm using the correct terminology so I hope that makes sense. Not sure if I’m missing something about the way the FA works?

@eddiaz One question please(or two) :) 1. Can we switch betwen sounds without cutting of sound that we use in that moment? 2. Can we create a layerd sound with 3-4 instruments, and add that to our studio set and be trigerd with number 1 on pad for example? Thank you

where can we hear your Music Ed? you got a great touch on workstations period... I am learning about the FA06 as now they are quite inexpensive these days on eBay.... you sold it to me, but I fear I am too dum to even make a beat...

Can you adjust the octave of the different splits?

Ed, I'd like to ask you something. I created my Studio Sets, now I want it when I turn on my FA-08 and start with a certain Studio Set of my choice. How to make ?

Great Video's Ed! It really confirms my research and shows me that this keyboard is a beast. Especially with the integra intergration. It's very underrated but perfectly on pair with Roland and their brand having cutting edge products.

when you have completed the set were do you call it from to start using it Ifind the sounds revert

Hello Ed. I have a FA-08 and I would like to use an external midi keyboard to play tones from the Studio Set (for example, configuring the piano to be played by the full keyboard of the FA-08 and a lead synth by the external midi keyboard). I didn' find in the configuration of the studio set a way to address the midi channel for the external midi keyboard and a way to configurate the tone to be played only by the external device. Please check if can you help me.

Hi! I have a problem with the sampling pads. I have few 3 sec samples I'm playing through the FA-06 sampling pads but I I can't keep pressing the pad for that long and I can't be constantly pressing the hold button. Is there a way to make the FA play the whole sample with just a simple 1 touch triggering?

Hello Ed, is there no way to export samples as a stereo mix along with the sequencer? Only the sequencer seems to get exported and not the sample recorded in the sequencer.

ED THANK YOU, IF THE WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION COMPANY DOESNT PAY YOU FOR THIS TELL THEM THAT THUNDERSMASH (me) SAID THEY NEED TO REVIEW YOUR ANATOMY RECORD! (love you ed lets get you paid for this you saved my career tell the superiors of ROLAND that mick pitch needed this and if they dont pay you for doing these layer tutorials then they can pay yamaha, ad if thats their plot then they need to know why there aint a store in doncaster and then they will realise that you ED OWNS THE STORE CAPICHE'' LOVE YOU! ) (*space*)))((

How much memory space is in the studio set user?

Good Morning Mr Diaz: I use the studio sets for live work, and very useful they are too, in my band Spiral Planet. I believe there are some dirty videos of us playing somewhere on KZfaq. I didn't make them, so I'm not sure if they went up or not. Any road, what I would like to know if it is possible to create more than one SEPARATE layers within the SAME studio set. For example, I would like, in an ideal world, to chain channels 1 & 2 together, and then 3 & 4 to create the two separate layers within the same song. Trust me, if it were possible to do this, you would be responsible for transforming music history. Thank you in advance. x

I play a lot of live. How can adjust my parts from stealing notes, wanna get my voice reserves balanced

why on the roland axial sight the integra 7 sounds are missing to load in the roland fa 08 on a sound card, I dont mean the expansion boards they still work

Nice explanation! It helps a lot, thanks!

Hi Ed. I have a question about Studio Sets. I have a band with repertoire of about 80 songs. Every gig we play, we perform about 30 of them so I have to change the order on the list. For each song we play I have made a specific Studio Set with different layers, tones, and splits points. That’s what I do to change the order. I select the studio set I don’t need and I copy it into an empty space. Now that that studio set has been duplicated I can overwrite its original position with the new studio set for the new set list. As you can imagine when you have to change the set list for a 2 hours show it takes quite a lot of time to do it. Is there a quicker way ? For example connecting the keyboard to a computer and use an editor or something similar? Thanks in advance for your help. Take care Mauro

Does Roland FA_06 has got style. If so how many. Pl

You're great Ed, my favourite professor so far. Gracias!

Hi Ed I did the piano ep str fox part. Didn’t work. When I press pads 1 to 4 all I get is str and vox, no matter what combo of pads I press

There’s a mistake at around 4:38 - you cannot seem to “unchoose” the tone that is shown on the main screen, using the pads. So when Ed is trying to cancel the “Angel Voice” tone, and keeps playing like everything is ok - it actually doesn’t work! Anyone knows how to solve this?

Hi Ed, How can I share a Studio Set with another FA owner over the Web?

Hi Ed. Is it not possible to avoid the expression value to be reset when changin the layers when shifting via the pads in the studio set. Alot of people are complaining this in different facebook groups.

Hey bro, I bought my roland fa08 for about a year now but I find a small problem with me layering sounds, I found out that when I layer about 3-4 sounds ( piano, strings, pad & a synth) if I am playing thiese sound for a while its start to go fussy or distorted and I have stop playing and start again before it can start working again but if I play for about that same time agian it goes back to the same issue. If I use only one sound or two sounds (piano string) its ok Why am I having this problem?

I want to switch between studio sets but want the first set to hold until I press another key before activating the next set.

Sir what is the difference between fa08 and fa06

Please upload hindi manual and hindi vedio

Ed, you are making a mistake at 4:38!!!

Hi Ed, I am trying to make MainStage work with my FA 08 after watching the tutorial you published kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbKVi5Bhm5q-cnU.html. The thing is... I think I am doing something wrong. In the section Master Kbd (1/2) I put MSB and LSB at 0 but when I change the value on PC the sound doesn't change on MainStage. Even putting different numbers on different studio sets the sound on MainStage stays on the last one I've manually selected using the Mac.

The FA is the easiest workstation to use.

Not one answer to anyone's questions.

Dude….slow down….take moe time and explain each step precisely…please. I’ve tried what you showed here with no success

blabla blabla blabla?????
