Roland took a very simple concept and turned it into something that is infinitely versatile here. There is a big learning curve though. Learning how to use all 3 programs together so that you can get what you want out of it is crucial. I don't recommend this to people with no synth experience at all. But on the flip side, you don't need to b...
Favourite thing. Playing with the lfos. Least favourite thing. A bit weak eg the knobs can be pulled off really easily. Very good value for money for the size and the features. I have always played with synths such as microkorg and moogs and I would say moogs are my favourite but very expensive. Quality of sound is great...
The Roland GAIA SH-01 is the perfect little synth for those looking to get analog synth sounds without the hassles of it. You’re not going to encounter the same issues with this that you might a true analog synthesizer, which is definitely a good thing. The price of the Roland GAIA SH-01 isn’t outlandish considering the great instrument you’re...

I use it very little due to time, but every time is a great pleasure! This is one of the only model I tested, it's worth it for that price.
Versatility. The polyphony of a portion of the patches is a real plus. Arpeggiator on top.
