"The Control Pack features seven Max for Live devices (four plus alternative versions), designed as simple tools for randomization, organic expression and precise automation. Format all values and sources produced by these effects as MIDI data to control external instruments, or simply use them to affect any parameter inside Live.

- Create dynamic patterns and sequences.
- Enhance instruments expressive performance.
- Easily map, control and randomize Live parameters.
- Send as MIDI CC, Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, Ft. Control or Mod. Wheel.
- Manage and automate parameters from Push.

This pair of audio and MIDI effects are mostly designed to first capture organic gestures performed in their X/Y panels and use them after as control agents for both external parameters and others within Ableton Live.

Mime features two main sections. The first one creates, records, plays back and saves X/Y coordinates. The second uses them to shape four individual control sources, defining different kinds of MIDI control messages (CC, Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, etc) or simply mapping specific Live parameters from the control outputs located in the Route section.

Advanced Synthesizer with Wavetable and Virtual Analog Engines, an Intuitive Sound Design Workflow, Expressive Hands-On Controls, Model Expansion Support, and More

Los Angeles, CA, Sept. 28, 2023 — Roland announces GAIA 2, an advanced synthesizer with a newly developed hybrid sound engine and a friendly panel layout that makes learning synthesis and exploring sound design easy and fun. Equipped with wavetable and virtual analog oscillators, interactive controls, 37 full-size keys, Model Expansion support, and other powerful features, GAIA 2 opens the door to an infinite universe of inspired creation.

GAIA 2’s diverse synthesis tools allow users to build familiar sounds and craft new voices never heard before. Reaching beyond previous designs, the wavetable oscillator can morph between multiple waveforms for everything from dramatic shifts to slowly evolving textures. Unique phase and shape modulation options are also available to distort waveforms and unleash cutting-edge textures with complex overtones. Complementing the wavetable oscillator are twin virtual analog oscillators, ready to reimagine past classics or sculpt the sounds of the future. From smooth tones reminiscent of vintage synths to edgy, biting leads to sci-fi soundscapes, GAIA 2 can do it.

GAIA 2 also supports Roland Model Expansions, which faithfully recreate iconic synthesizers from the company’s long history. With a dedicated button, users can instantly swap between the built-in sound engine and classics like the JUPITER-8 or JUNO-106. The SH-101 Model Expansion comes pre-installed, and many additional titles and accompanying Sound Packs are available on Roland Cloud.

GAIA 2’s logically organized panel encourages hands-on exploration and sonic discovery. The one-control-per-function layout and informative display enable instant programming without having to resort to creativity-killing menu diving. And with the streamlined knobs and white anodized aluminum panel, even the look is inspiring.

GAIA 2 features a touch-controlled Motional Pad that brings static sounds to life. Users can assign nearly any synth or effect parameter to each of the X/Y points and then morph between them by moving a finger on the pad. It’s also possible to record movements to create complex, modulated transformations.

The free-flowing sequencer in GAIA 2 lets users instantly capture their inspiration and realize their wildest visions. There’s also a cool Random Pattern feature to spark new ideas with spontaneous pattern creation.

GAIA 2 comes loaded with classic Roland effects to take sonic creations to the next level. Over 50 unique MFX types are available, plus a dedicated Chorus section for adding width and dimension. A powerful Reverb/Delay section features a new studio-grade Shimmer Reverb and many other high-quality effect types.

Via USB-C, GAIA 2 functions as an audio/MIDI interface for music production apps on a computer, smartphone, or tablet. The class-compliant connection is plug-and-play, with no driver installation needed. A USB Type-A port is also available for connecting a USB flash drive for data backup or a standard USB MIDI controller for extended operation.

GAIA 2 supports Roland Cloud Connect, an optional wireless adapter for browsing and downloading Roland Cloud content using a mobile device. A Roland Cloud Connect purchase also includes a year of Roland Cloud Pro membership with unlimited use of thousands of sounds, Model Expansions, and much more.

The optional CB-B37 Keyboard Bag for GAIA 2 provides durable, high-quality protection for the synthesizer while traveling and making music around town. This versatile bag also works with the JUPITER-Xm, legacy GAIA SH-01, and other 37-note keyboards.

Availability & Pricing

The Roland GAIA 2 is now available in the U.S. for $899.99.

Lpg in explain in control freak


New first time we make a controller. Control freak is releasing know.


"Something new for the first time we make a controller.

🙏 Hi there!

I hope you’re doing well. I

wanted to share with you some exciting

news about the Control Freak,

a versatile controller for your eurorack

setup that can also be used as a standalone equipment.

What makes it truly unique is its external box,

which allows you to connect a joystick, a trigger sequencer,

a complex LFO, and an external LPG.

It’s packed with all the essential utilities

commonly used in modular synthesizers,

eliminating the need for additional keys or

accessories. With the Control Freak, you’ll

have everything you need to take your

music production to the next level.

Let me know if you need more information or have any other questions.@www.errorinstruments.com @errorinstruments #errorinstruments #experimentalmusic #noise #controler #eurorack"

"Gently used Moog Vocoder, includes original power supply.

Moog Music has gone to great lengths to ensure that this distinct electronic voice carries on. Derived from the original vintage schematic, Moog 16 Channel Vocoder's analog voice circuits are hand-soldered at the employee-owned Moog Factory in Asheville, NC to preserve that classic 1978 sound. Updated mechanical connectors and a modern power supply improve reliability and long-term serviceability while ensuring that the analog soul of this instrument – and its unique character and idiosyncrasies – remains unchanged."

"Killer standalone arpeggiator from the Oberheim Perf/x series. Rare find with the original box, paperwork and power supply. Great working condition overall with just some minor cosmetic issues on the front panel (does not affect functionality)."

"1985 Roland JX-8P in great cosmetic and working condition. Includes M-16C cartridge and 2-prong AC power cable.

The JX-8P is a lovely sounding 8 voice analog poly synth with similar voice architecture to the JX-3P and Roland Juno series. The voice is actually quite a bit more complex than the Junos. What is gained in oscillators and modulation sources is lost in the real time control, however. There are only program buttons where numbers are typed and a single parameter slider is adjusted. This keyboard can be expanded with the Roland PG-800 programmer or connected up to an IOS app through MIDI for full access to all the controls."

Technosaurus Cyclodon SN TCD-2249

"The Cyclodon is much simpler than most other sequencers. Indeed, it's hard to see how it could be any simpler and still be useful. It offers a maximum of 16 steps, and you can use a set of four switches to select any sequence length from 1 to 16. You determine the CV generated at each step using the 16 knobs arranged in two rows of eight. The seventeenth knob sets the tempo. Another switch defeats this, and allows you to clock the Cyclodon externally using Roland's DIN‑Sync 24 standard. The only other controls are a switch that toggles between 'auto' and 'manual' stepping, and a Start/Stop/Manual button that allows you to set up and run your sequence.

There are only two outputs: CV and Gate. And if I mention the 10 LEDs that show which step is playing (position one to eight, row one or two) and the input for the PSU, there is nothing left to describe. Well, nothing except for the programmable Clock Divider. This allows you to slow the external sync signal by any factor from two to 16. Interesting. Anybody fancy a sequence in 7/4 over a 12/8 sync pattern?"
