Roland GAIA SH-01 Description:
Get your teeth into the new triple-stacked virtual analogue engine, comprising three complete synths with 64 note polyphony for incredibly thick, powerful sound. Unleash the three oscillators that drive a trio of multimode, resonant filters, multi-shape LFOs, and amplifiers, plus nine envelope generators.
You can layer up to five simultaneous effects for dozens of variations. The onboard effects include reverb, distortion, fuzz, bit crash, flanger, phaser, pitch shifter, low boost, and delay with panning and tempo sync. Dedicated control knobs are provided for tweaking the effects in real time.
The front panel puts every control directly under your fingertips. There are no hidden menus, no nonsense. Just play and move the knobs and sliders, or wave your hands over the invisible D Beam for dramatic effects. The logically designed front panel shows the signal path from left to right and allows hands-on control during performance.
Connect directly to a computer (Mac or PC) with one simple USB cable, and stream audio directly to the software of your choice. GAIA’s USB port can also be used to transmit and receive MIDI data, and to store your patches and phrases (recorded with the Phrase Recorder) to a USB memory stick. And for integrating with other external devices, the EXT input lets you connect external audio sources such as an MP3-player to play along with your favorite songs or backing tracks.
At less than 5kg, GAIA is lightweight, compact, and great for musicians on the go. The 37-note keyboard is full size, so performers can play naturally and comfortably. The synth can be powered via AC or batteries for the ultimate in portable convenience.
Analog is for old folks

Never forget: Anything can be used to make great music. Never blame your tools (provided they are working as intended). It's all down to you. Great music only happens with great musicians and composers. Any idiot with zero skill can push a button, or click a mouse and unleash a spectacular-sounding factory preset with a complex timeline of cascading envelopes, swirling filters and thumping rhythms… Think about it.
