Introducing the Controls

INTRO

What are the Three Elements of Sound?

The three elements of sounds are pitch, brightness, and volume. On a synthe-

sizer, these elements are controlled by the following three sections.

1. Pitch = Oscillator (OSC)

2. Brightness = Filter (FILTER)

3. Volume = Ampli er (AMP)

D Beam

By moving your

hand above the D

Beam controller

you can change

the sound’s pitch,

volume, or bright-

ness.

LFO

This modulates the

sound.

Oscillator (OSC)

This determines the sound’s pitch. The oscilla-

tor is the heart of a synthesizer, and is where

you select the waveform that forms the basis

of the sound.

USB Memory

You can save your

patches to USB

memory.

Tone

You can layer three

tones to be played

simultaneously.

Here’s where you

select the tone you

want to edit.

Lever

Move this to left or

right to change the

sound’s pitch.

Move this away

from yourself to

apply modulation.

A NOTE OF

Roland’s GAIA SH-01 synthesizer is designed so that these three elements of sound are arranged on the

panel in an intuitive layout, making the sound-creating process easy.

Here you can call up

patches.

Filter

This determines the

sound’s brightness.

Amp

This determines the sound’s

volume. This is also where the

sound’s attack and decay are

adjusted.

E ects

Here you can apply reverb to give

the sound more depth, or add other

e ects.

Volume

This adjusts the

overall volume.

Play a Sound!

STEP

The GAIA SH-01 lets you start playing as soon as you turn on the power.

1. Turn on the power.

2. Press the NUMBER [1] button.

In this example we’ve selected sound (patch) number 1. On the following page we’ll explain more about how to

select “patches.”

3. Use the [VOLUME] knob to adjust the volume.

4. Play the keyboard.

Did you hear sound? Now read the next page, and select and play other sounds (patches).

What is a “Patch”?

The GAIA SH-01 lets you save the sounds you create.

Each sound you save is called a “patch.”

You can think of the locations that store the patches as being like shelves.

You’ll select the desired patch by GROUP, BANK, and NUMBER.

How to Think About Sound Programming

As you take a closer look at the factory-set patches (preset patches),

you’ll notice all sorts of clever tricks that were used to create the sounds.

Remember these tricks, and use them to create new sounds from scratch.

As you create your own sounds by modifying the preset patches, you’ll

learn various ways in which the sound can be changed.

A NOTE OF

ADVICE

Create a Sound!

STEP

Create a Bass Sound

Use the [CUTOFF] Knob to Fatten the Sound!

Moving the [CUTOFF] knob will make the sound fatter or brighter. Once you’ve

familiarized yourself with its function, try moving the [CUTOFF] knob between

10 o’clock and one o’clock while you raise and lower the LFO [FILTER DEPTH]

slider. It’s e ective to do this in sync with the tempo.

1. Call up the “PRESET B-1” patch.

Press the [PRESET

PATCH] button

Press the [1] button

Press the [BANK] button and

then press the [2] (B) button

2. Press the [KEY HOLD] button so it’s blinking.

3. Press the second C key from the bottom.

You’ll hear an arpeggiated techno bass.

4. Turn the FILTER [RESONANCE] knob to the

maximum position.

5. Slowly turn the FILTER [CUTOFF] knob from

the maximum position down to the minimum.

It’s e ective to make this change in sync with the tempo.

6. Set the [RESONANCE] knob at 10 o’clock, and

the [CUTOFF] knob at 12 o’clock.

7. In sync with the tempo, raise the LFO [FILTER DEPTH]

slider, and then bring it back to the center.

For the LFO DEPTH, the center is 0.

ADVICE

Let’s try playing an arpeggiated synth bass sound.

Turn the  lter knob to make the sound change.

How Do I Stop the Sound?

Press the [KEY HOLD] button to stop the sound.

Add More Low End!

Turn on the [TONE 3] button, and play the keyboard.

Layering three tones produces an even fatter sound.

Save The Patch You’ve Created

The GAIA SH-01 has internal memory in which you can store 64 patches

that you’ve created.

By using USB memory (sold separately), you’ll be able to store 64 more

patches.

To save your patch, press the [WRITE] button and then select the save-destination patch number;  nally press

the [WRITE] button once again.

Layer Tones to Create Fat Sounds!

The GAIA SH-01 lets you layer three tones together,

allowing you to create incredibly fat sounds. Use the

TONE buttons to turn each tone on/o .

STEP

Create a Pad Sound

1. Call up the “PRESET A-3” patch.

Press the [PRESET

PATCH] button

Press the [3] button

Press the [BANK] button and

then press the [1] (A) button

2. Press the [KEY HOLD] button so it’s blinking.

3. Simultaneously press the TONE 1 and TONE 2

[SELECT] buttons so they’re lit.

You can use the [SELECT] buttons to select the tone that you want

to edit.

4. Play a chord.

5. While playing a chord, set the AMP [ATTACK]

slider in the range of about 2–5.

The attack sound will become more gentle.

While you play, adjust the slider to get the desired attack.

6. Next, try pressing the TONE 3 [SELECT] button

and adjusting the sound of TONE 3.

7. Raise the FILTER [ENV DEPTH] slider from

the center position to 2. The soft sound will

become brighter.

8. Set the FILTER [ATTACK] slider to 6. Now the

sound of TONE 3 will slowly become brighter

after you play the key.

Here we’ll try playing a polyphonic pad sound. This is a synth pad that combines an

attack sound with a softer sound.

9. Lower the FILTER [ENV DEPTH] slider

downward from the center. The sound of TONE

3 will disappear.

For additional expressive possibilities, you can move the FILTER

[ENV DEPTH] slider while you play.

Turn o the [KEY HOLD] button, and raise

the TONE 3 AMP [R] (RELEASE) slider to the

maximum position.

The time over which the sound of TONE 3 disappears will

lengthen.

You can change how the sound varies over time by adjusting the

ADSR, so you may want to adjust these settings until you get the

sound you like.

Save the Patch You’ve Created

To save your patch, press the [WRITE] button, then select the save-destination patch number, and  nally press

the [WRITE] button once again.

Press the [WRITE] button

Adjust the Envelope!

For example, if you want to create a gradual attack, such as for strings, try

raising the [A] slider. If you want the sound to linger for a while after you take

your hand o the keyboard, raise the [R] slider.

The sound’s attack and decay are created in the ENV (envelope generator) section.

Raise or lower the [A] [D] [S] [R] sliders, and notice how they a ect the sound.

ADVICE

Create a Wind Sound

STEP

Use Cuto to Control the Character of the Wind

As you turn the [CUTOFF] knob

toward the left, the sound will

become more mu ed. When the

knob is turned all the way toward

the left, the sound will be nearly

inaudible. This is because most of the

frequency range is not being allowed

to pass.

Let’s try playing a wind sound that was created using noise. Noise allows you to produce this type of sound.

We’ll try controlling the character of the wind while listening to it.

1. Turn the FILTER [CUTOFF] knob all the way to

the left.

2. Call up the “PRESET A-8” patch.

Press the [PRESET

PATCH] button

Press the [8] button

Press the [BANK] button and

then press the [1] (A) button

3. Press the [KEY HOLD] button so it’s blinking.

4. Press and hold any key. The wind will start

blowing.

The sound of trickling water will also begin.

5. While holding down the key to make the wind

continue blowing, turn the FILTER [CUTOFF]

knob toward the right, and move it between

the 10 o’clock and 1 o’clock positions.

This lets you control the character of the wind.
