Also have a Fender Acoustasonic 100 watt PA/amp from the late 90s, in good condition ... if you're interested, I can bundle it for an additional $100 (two channels with independent EQ and effects, a single 8" speaker, and a line out for PA connection)
Overview
The Roland FA-08 is an 88-key music workstation designed to combine the power of a professional studio keyboard with a lightweight, portable body and a fast, intuitive workflow. It features an 88-note weighted-action Ivory Feel-G keyboard, a massive sound collection inherited from the flagship INTEGRA-7 sound module, a versatile 16-track sequencer, and a performance sampler based on the popular SP-404SX. It's built for both live performance and studio production, with seamless DAW integration.
