SH 01 Gaia Live Improv/Demo - no talking


video upload by O.Z. Hall

"The Roland Gaia virtual analog (VA) synthesizer is really quite impressive (IMHO). It features VA architecture with many filter formats as well as effects. Although it is a "single oscillator" synth, there are three complete VA layers, including oscillator sync between layers!
There are also 8 good sampled presets, when you want sampled piano, strings, voices, etc.
Add to all that a General Midi digital sound module (accessible only via MIDI). Per the GM standard, MIDI channel 10 lets you access a good sounding drum kit. This is the kit I'm using in the video.
The drums are triggered vial MIDI from the Arturia Beatstep Pro sequencer.
The synth preset used is original. The 'Phrase Recorder' sequences are original. Of course, the improvisational playing and parameter adjustments are live. I hope listening is as fun for you as playing was for me!"
