Keyboard contacts will eventually wear out if you hang on to your gear long enough and/or play hard. It's kinda like owning an acoustic piano. Every so often you have to throw money at it to maintain them. (Tuning/regula...

Very possible. Use the mod matrix / aftertouch via an expression pedal. Set up all patches in your Studio Set so the mod matrix will allow an expression pedal to control filter cutoff via Aftertouch. (Just set it to Afte...

Cheap M-Audio expression pedal works fine as well.

"Donk Bass" sounds are generally a product of FM synthesis. There's no FM engine in the FA. That said, if you can find a wav that's got the basic tone, you might be able to get close to that once you dial in the envelope...

You can't change the pad's flash time. It is what it is. (Would be a useful feature though.) The Sequencer "Play" button flashes the current tempo. That's it. Tempo will automatically get saved with a Studio Set if you h...

MFX are tied to the patch, so yes - You save the patch and then save the studio set that you're going to use it in. Makes sense.

Just to add to this....and the old thread (link above from skyy19854) You can crossfade both PCM-S and SN-S patches with individual control over each oscillator within one patch if you set the expression pedal to Afterto...

Ya, it makes no sense that Roland omitted all the other Aftertouch options on the SN-S engine. Dumb move. That said, I use the PCM-S engine most of the time for synth patches because of the more extensive Mod Matrix opti...

The SN-Synth engine Aftertouch options are limited to Filter Cutoff and Level only. (Page 36 - FA Parameter Guide Manual.) The PCM-Synth engine is much more versatile for Aftertouch options.

You're talking major surgery here. Good luck finding a different keybed that will mount in the FA chassis without making major modifications. I think the only way you could do it is to physically remove the keybed, joyst...
