User manual ROLAND GAIA SH-01

[. . . ] Main Features Able to produce a broad range of sounds with simple operation, the GAIA SH-01 is a compact and light-weight, yet full-fledged virtual analog synthesizer that's a great choice for live performance or in the studio. Rich sound equivalent to three synthesizers A synthesizer consists of sections such as the OSC (p. The GAIA SH-01 uses a newly developed, dedicated sound generator that provides three such synthesizers simultaneously. From simple sounds to richly complex sounds, you can easily create sounds using a wide variety of combinations. Panel design that makes synthesis understandable The OSC, FILTER, and AMP sections, which provide the essential components needed for creating a sound, are laid out on the panel in a logical order from left to right, ending with the OUTPUT section. Even if you're using a synthesizer for the first time, this layout makes it easy to learn the process of creating sound (p. [. . . ] Moving the slider upward will lengthen the time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. [ENV DEPTH] (Envelope depth) slider This specifies the direction and depth to which the cutoff frequency will change. · If the slider is moved upward ("+" settings), the filter envelope will raise the cutoff frequency. The farther upward the slider is set, the more the cutoff frequency will be raised by the filter envelope. · If the slider is moved downward ("-" settings), the filter envelope will lower the cutoff frequency. The farther downward the slider is set, the more the cutoff frequency will be lowered by the filter envelope. Specifying the Sound's Attack and Decay (AMP) The AMP section contains parameters that control the volume. Raising a value will increase the volume. [LEVEL] knob This sets the volume. Turning the knob toward the right will increase the volume, and turning it toward the left will decrease the volume. If the knob is turned all the way to the left, there will be no sound. AMP ENV (Amp envelope) When a note is played on a piano, the sound begins immediately, and then gradually diminishes. On instruments such as an organ, the sound continues at a fixed volume as long as the key is held down. The amp envelope allows you to create these and many other types of volume change over time. Key-off Volume DEPTH Filter envelope velocity sensitivity Here's how you can make the filter envelope depth vary according to the strength with which you play the key. 1. Hold down the [CANCEL/SHIFT] button and turn the [CUTOFF] knob. · Turning the knob toward the right (maximum value is +63) will make the filter envelope depth rise as you play more strongly, and fall as you play more softly. · If this setting is at the minimum value (0), the cutoff frequency will not be affected by the strength with which you play the key. * If "BYPASS" is selected as the filter mode, changing this setting will not affect the sound. * This effect can be obtained only when KEYBOARD VELOCITY (p. 51) is set to "REAL. " Key-on Time [A] (Attack time) slider This specifies the time from the moment you press the key until the maximum volume is reached. Moving the slider upward will lengthen this time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. 35 [D] (Decay time) slider This specifies the time from when the maximum volume is reached, until it decays to the sustain level. Moving the slider upward will lengthen this time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. [S] (Sustain level) slider This specifies the volume level that will be maintained from when the attack and decay times have elapsed until you release the key. Moving the slider upward will raise the volume. [R] (Release time) slider This specifies the time from when you release the key until the volume reaches its minimum value. Moving the slider upward will lengthen the time, and moving it downward will shorten the time. Modulating the Sound (LFO) PAN Here's how to change the stereo position of the sound. 1. Hold down the [CANCEL/SHIFT] button and turn the [DETUNE] knob. Turning the knob toward the left moves the stereo position to the left, and turning the knob toward the right moves the stereo position to the right. If the knob is in the center, the sound will also be in the center. LFO stands for Low-Frequency Oscillator.
