"Blue SH101. Minor issues like one key must be pressed harder than the rest to get a sound but other than that and some missing screws and one of the tabs on the battery cover are missing I think that it's totally functional, I'm not an expert but it sounds awesome."

Using her collection of modular synths and electronic instruments she generates deep and immersive cosmic soundscapes that drag you into their gravitational field, like matter to a black hole. On the 31st of May Marta SmiLga played a live set celebrating the out-coming of her debut release on Liminal Noise label - the split cassette together with Jelena Glazova, available for purchase here: https://tinyurl.com/LiminalNoise

Roland SH-01 GAIA - Some 80's patches

Published on Jun 3, 2017 tiergrinder

"Roland GAIA gets lot of bashing and beating at synth forums, but I've always loved mine. I bought it new when it came out, and I've never thought of letting it go. It's relatively cheap, fun to use and it has great interface and controls. Synth engine is good for learing synthesis and GAIA has tons of hidden modulation and soundscape building possibilities under the hood.

This short video shows couple of the first 80's style patches I recreated with GAIA. Brasses and pads emulate Jupiter-8 sounds. Melody at 'Love In A Real Train" emulates Juno-106 type of sound.
Strings around 1:36 emulates Juno-106 chorus strings.

In almost all cases, GAIA was recorded dry without any of the synths internal FX. Gaia's own presets are drowned in effects, I wanted to show how this sounds dry and with external effects."

"This included a Roland Juno 60 that provided the song's main theme and which I still use, as well as a UMI computer system that a friend of mine put together, and which Vince Clark also used. That's what I used to drive the instruments"
