Fa-06 with backingtracks

2 Feb 2015, 06:25

Hi!

We use some light backingtracks in our band (drum, bass, maybe something more) pluss I play k-boards and a onther member plays quitars.
Is FA-06 good for this setup?

I prefer backingtrack as midi, so I can tweak them whyle performing in live (maybe change tempo or the FX for some part ect).

So first I need to get all my midi files to FA-06.

Second - is this true, that for every song I have to save song itselt pluss studio set with sounds the song uses? Do I have to reload both every time I perform with midi ?

How many songs and studio sets can I save to FA-06?

OR - as I understand, I can save songs to multitrack AUDIO. Is it possible to play multitrak audio files directly from FA-06 as tweakable backingtracks? How many song can I save this way?

I use Roland Discover-5 for backings right now pluss Juno Stage and Gaya for live playing. I need sort of functionality of Discovery, but better sounds.

Thanks

Tommy

One more question - if I have - lets say 100 songs in my FA, are they listed by name starting fro "A" ect or not?
This is very important, if you want to use the Fa in live.

why not.

Yes. Import SMF

Second - is this true, that for every song I have to save song itself plus studio set with sounds the song uses?

Yes, Songs and Studio Set are stored independent from each other.

Do I have to reload both every time I perform with midi ?

No, the current selected Studio Set is stored together with the Song.

How many songs and studio sets can I save to FA-06?

512 per SD card.

OR - as I understand, I can save songs to multitrack AUDIO. Is it possible to play multitrak audio files directly from FA-06 as tweakable backingtracks? How many song can I save this way?

Yes could be saved as Multitrack and played back via pad track with the sequencer. Tweakable only via TFX effects. No timestrech/tempo changes.

One more question - if I have - lets say 100 songs in my FA, are they listed by name starting fro "A" ect or not?

They are listet by numbers.
I have my setlist with the numbes of the songs on it and dial in the next song. very quick.
Random setlists are better controllable with the help of mobile devices (manually or via midi)
