#Roland #Gaia #Synth
Great video and overview! I’ve had the Gaia 2 for about 10 months now and recently felt my initial excitement about it had faded. I had almost considered selling it but revisiting it, I’m realizing it’s misunderstood and under appreciated. I’m falling in love with it all over again for its hands-on simplicity and immediacy. I hope you do more deep dive videos on the Gaia 2 and how you use it in a creating music. Keep up the great work buddy!
Yo thanks so much 🙏 appreciate that man!!
Thanks!
Yes it is a good synth. 20 voices and good sound with tactile physical control is something that eliminates all analog synths. Just one look at the oscillator section with all those knobs means deep design possibilities before you even touch the filter. Owned Gaia's since the beginning about 13 years ago, never once thought of them as beginners synths, just very under-appreciated synths. The Original Gaia is on nearly every song I compose and now the Gaia2 is too.
Nice! I love my GAIA 2. BTW Did you notice you have your Mod wheel turned up all the way through 🤔
Haha nah I didn’t notice. It shouldn’t affect the parameter as long as I change the presets the settings will reset.
@EmlynInTheMix It sounded great. Just thought it was funny. I was trying to reach through the screen to let you know! Hahaha. Have a great day man. 😀 😊 💫
How many presets?
Love your patch.
@fldrummerman If I recall correctly, there are 256 factory presets. I am not too enamored with the factory presets personally. I mean, they are okay, but there are only a few I liked for a production. Easy to create your own, though. I just picked up the presets from Jexus as well, which are excellent and much better than the stock ones. Roland should get him to do their presets.
I'm still on the fence with this synth. I've owned it since it first came out. For me, getting into the master eq and compressor is a must to tame some of the bright high end. Still not wowed by the quality of the waves, but it does do good work, and can pull off some very nice sounding stuff, as is proved in multiple yt videos. Still hoping to connect with it.
It’s definitely a good synth if you can tame the highs. It has its own unique flavour.
i like it
The aesthetic screams big brother to the Minilogue
Yep but gotta admit I’m loving the envelope sliders. Wish most synths had these!
@@EmlynInTheMix that's a thing Roland gets spot on. The user interface makes all the difference
I just bought this synth too and it’s outstanding mate. One thing I haven’t figured out it’s how to save my own presets, I can’t find a way or an option that allows me to save them, do you know by any chance how to do that?
Not yet. Will drop a comment or the community will once figured out.
from looking at the front panel: Shift + Menu (write). On Roland synths preset saving has been called Write at least since the Juno 60.
Its on page 12 of the reference manual. You start by pressing SHIFT + MENU. then select where to save, then give it a name and finally confirm a few times that you really want to save it
Hey does anyone know where I can find a video that shows you how to create A Moog Bass/Synth Bass patch on the GAIA 2? please help
Dose or hawe Randomizer, same like Hydrasynth???
Gala 2. Truly a vst in an overpriced plastic box.
...it's aluminum.
Lol
Agree, it's gone down in price elsewhere
Maybe King Korg is better 😀👌
