Roland GAIA SH-01 Virtual Analog Synthesizer

The Roland GAIA SH-01 gives you a ton of effects (reverb, distortion, fuzz, bit crash, flanger, phaser, pitch shifter, low boost, and delay) to take your sonic explorations even further. And with 64 voices of polyphony, expansive synthing (sans note dropout) is at your fingertips. When combined, all of these elements come together to create massive sound, packed into an extremely lightweight chassis. How lightweight? The GAIA SH-01 weighs less that 10 lbs., making it easy to take your sound with you. Plus, you can run the GAIA SH-01 on battery power. How cool is that?

A synth and a whole lot more

And no synth would be complete without a solid arpeggiator. Just hold down a single key and let it work its magic! Plus, you can record your creations — along with the movements of the knobs and sliders — by using the onboard phase recorder. Use the USB port to plug the GAIA SH-01 into a computer to send and transmit MIDI data, or store your patches and phrases (recorded with the phrase recorder) to a USB memory stick. Integrate the GAIA SH-01 with external devices, such as MP3 players, via the EXT input and play along with your favorite songs or backing tracks — great for practice and performance.

Great for beginners, with features for the initiated

And the GAIA SH-01 is perfect for newcomers to synthesis. The SH-01’s front panel puts every control right at your fingertips. The logically laid out front panel shows the signal path from left to right, helping beginners understand synthesis. Experienced players will dig the instant gratification of hands-on control.

Daniel Fisher, our Director of Product Optimization, has crafted 64 entirely new patches to make maximum use of every available feature on this synthesizer. These patches, when installed, will fill the User Bank, which was previously an exact copy of the Preset Bank. Plus, our included QuickStart Guide will help get you up and running fast! Blow open the doors of your creativity with the GAIA SH-01
