Into the past and into the future
With its massive sound, practicality and affordable price, the GAIA SH-01 offers high added value but also old-school charm. The triple engine puts the potential of virtual analogue synthesis at your fingertips, while the on-panel controls are fun, easy to understand and challenging, so even a beginner can create great sounds. The signal flow is easy to understand, with logically arranged knobs, sliders and buttons. Handy controls and a dense sound make this little powerhouse a breeze not only for music students and composers, but also Sunday and everyday players of all styles and levels.
Triple, dense virtual analogue
Bite into the new triple, virtual analogue, which features three complete synths, with an incredibly powerful, massive sound. Unchain the power of three oscillators and let a trio of multi-mode resonant filters, LFO sound shaping and amplifiers, plus nine envelope generators do the work. It's basically three synths in one! With 64-voice polyphony, the GAIA SH-01 can play massive sounds without breaking down notes.
Layered effects
From silky-velvety reverb to overwhelming growls, the SH-01's directly selectable multieffects catapult your sound to entirely new dimensions. You can layer up to five effects simultaneously, with hundreds of variations. Among the ready-made effects you'll find reverb, distortion, fuzz, bit crash, flanger, phaser, pitch shifter, low boost and delay with pan and tempo sync. Special knobs control the effects in real time.
Power takeaway
With a weight of about 4kg, the GAIA SH-01 is lightweight, compact and great for musicians on the go. The keyboard has 37 full-size keys, so you'll play naturally and comfortably. You can power the synth with an adapter or batteries*, providing unparalleled adaptability. A battery life indicator on the front panel ensures that there can be no unexpected power failure. When plugged into a battery-powered combo such as the Roland CUBE Street, MOBILE CUBE, BA-330 or KC-110, you can really play anywhere with the GAIA SH-01!
*Powered by eight rechargeable Ni-MH AA batteries.
Direct control
The front panel allows direct control at the touch of a finger. No hidden sub-menus and similar nonsense. You simply play and use the knobs or sliders, or wave your hand over the invisible D Beam, to dramatically change the effects. The logically constructed front panel shows the signal path from left to right. This will help beginners understand synthesis, and give experienced players a good feel for the practical controls during play.
Phrase Recorder and Arpeggiator
Hold a note or chord and let the arpeggiator automatically create magical musical creations. The tempo can be adjusted by tapping, with the Tap tempo function. The ready-made Phrase Recorder allows you to record not only your keyboard playing, but also the movements of knobs and sliders. Controller data can also be recorded in real time, as an independent complement to the notes you play.
USB and EXT IN
By plugging directly into your computer (Mac or PC) with a single USB cable, you can send audio data directly to the running software. The SH-01's USB ports can also be used to send and receive MIDI data, and to save sounds and phrases (recorded in the recorder) to USB memory. To use external devices and audio sources (such as an MP3 player), the SH-01's EXT input is used so you can play along with your favorite songs or tracks - making it suitable for practice and live playing. You can adjust the incoming audio signal in three Center Cancel modes that eliminate vocal, guitar or bass bands.
