"Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Roland GAIA 2. Is this virtual analog and wavetable synth, successor to the controversial Roland Gaia SH-01 and Korg Minilogue lookalike truly bad or just mediocre? Are The Horrors of Mediocrity of the Roland Gaia 2023 enough for a Halloween episode?"
