Switched On Austin - Synth studio & store tour | Austin, TX

https://www.switchedonaustin.com

A synth studio and store tour of Switched-On in Austin, Texas -- including the Switched On synthesizer showroom, walk-through of the Switched On synth store and brief highlight of the synthesizer repair area.

During a trip to Austin in early 2020 I had a chance to revisit the Switched On synth shop I first toured in 2018 [video bellow]. Switched On have since moved from their original location to a new spot and are under new ownership, so it was a great opportunity to see the new synth store.

This synth studio and store walkthrough showcases Switched On's extensive record collection, tape machines, various synthesizers, modular gear, classic vintage synths, rack units and more. To learn more about Switched On, visit https://www.switchedonaustin.com

Roland FA-08 Workstation Demo

Published on Jan 19, 2014 Hunart©·36 videos

"I had a chance to check out Rolands new child for 2 days. That`s why the demo is short but I tried to put as much sounds in it as possible without a mess. Pretty functional instrument and it`s good to play on.

No external FX used, altough I put a small amount of limiting on the whole thing.

Enjoy!

Sonicstate Exclusive: Roland FA-06 preview

Published on Jan 15, 2014 sonicstate·594 videos

"Roland popped down a couple of days ago to give us the skinny on a new product which was released today. Taking the legacy of the Fantom workstations and combining the pallette of the sonically stuffed Integra-7 sound module, and performance chops from the recent Junos and Jupiters,plus a large colour display, the FA06 and FA08 (88 weighted keys) are Roland's new take on the keyboard workstation.
With 128 voice polyphony, 16 part sequencer (each with dedicated FX plus a total FX), it's got enough voices to handle some complex productions.
The all new (ground up design) sequencer integrates with the on-board sampler to create a flexible workflow as far as we can see."
