A magic box for lively sounds

With the GAIA 2 Roland goes partly new ways concerning the modulation possibilities. The filter and the following VCA each have their own ADSR envelope. The oscillator section is equipped with an A/D envelope that can be applied to pitch, waveform and other parameters. Two LFOs synchronizable to Clock are addressable to almost any knob or fader; but that's not all, up to four parameters can be assigned to each LFO simultaneously. Besides the usual waveforms, the LFOs also handle Random and Sample & Hold as well as a self-programmable waveform. The sixth modulation source is the motion pad which controls two parameters of the wavetable oscillator or can be assigned to two other parameters.

Effects - a little goes a long way

The last element in the signal path is the effects processor, which provides delay or reverb with 7 variants, 3 chorus types and a whopping 53 multi-effect algorithms like eg. Distortion, Flanger or Phaser . furthermore the order of the three effect blocks is freely definable. A master EQ and compressor form the conclusion.
