With a 16 track sequencer, the workstation features non-stop loop recording, which makes it quick and easy to build songs. And now you can export your sequencer tracks to an SDHC card as a complete stereo mix, multitrack audio, or MIDI data for use in your DAW.

Connect a mic, guitar or stereo line level device to the FA-08, which includes a high-speed USB audio interface - great for touring and playing live.
Studio features and effects
The FA-08 contains over 2000 sounds from the flagship INTEGRA-7 sound module, including the SuperNATURAL synth, acoustic tones, and drums giving you ultimate freedom. You can add even more tones via internal wave sound expansion slots or download sounds for free from Roland's Axial sound library.
The FA-08's onboard sampler is based on the SP-40SX and features 16 pads x 4 banks and direct recording/playback via SDHC cards. A multitude of studio quality effects including 16 independent MFX engines, six COMP+EQ processors for drums, unique TFX (total effects) and global EQ, chorus and reverb mean you can polish your sounds completely. You can tweak tones, effects and external MIDI devices in real time with six user assignable Sound Modify knobs.
