Wanted: Soundbank tester for Roland GAIA SH-01
Hello Roland Clan.
I am about to finish a soundbank with 64 ambient patches for the Roland GAIA SH-01 with a majority of Ambient Pads (32 pads in total) but also Arpeggiated and Sound Effects + a few Keys and Synths too.
Here's an audio demo of some of the pads:

I need two GAIA owners who would like to take the soundbank on a test ride before release. I will ask of you to download and transfer the soundbank to your GAIA. It will overwrite all 64 existing 'User Patches' so make sure to keep a backup if you already got some you want to keep. To transfer the patches to your GAIA you need a USB flash drive.
After the transfer, a quick run through the patches would be appreciated - with some general feedback in return. As a thank you, you can keep the soundbank which will retail for 39$.
Let me know...

Re: Wanted: Soundbank tester for Roland GAIA SH-01
I checked out the audio examples, and this sounds like a quality work to me! Wishing you good success with it, even though there are not that many SH-01 users now - but it work itself out in the long term. The only thing I'd suggest is keep the price at $29, that's a more widely accepted range for 60-100 patch banks.
BTW, don't forget to e-mail your press release to me when it's out, will postcthis into our news section.

Artemiy: Thank you! I will probably drop the price to 29$ which seems more reasonable for a 64 patch bank as you write. I will send you press release when it's out - thanks!
RonF: You got mail.

Luftrum, great, very glad you accept the advise! Looking forward to announce your release.

Liked them a lot, kept wanting to reach for the bass guitar lol - rumble rumble.

I am new to sythesis, but since purchasing the GAIAI am learning fast. If you want testing from a laymans point of view I will be happy to help.

Just wanted to post up that Luftrum was kind enough to allow me to demo this patch bank, and I spent some quality time with them last night. These are excellent. Anyone familiar with Luftrum's other works (Alchemy, Absynth, Reason) will find these of the same high quality, very evocative and intricate. Very playable and inspiring. Takes the GAIA synth in directions many would probably never think to go. And its also very tweakable on the GAIA UI. I had a great time with the D beam and other tweaks I made with these patches, easily finding even more ideas and soundscapes. A good variety too.....some that will sit great in a full production mix, and some that could be an entire Steve Roach album by themselves!
Once he releases this, I would give these my highest recommendation. Its a very professional product.
Thanks,
Ron

Is it a big download?
If you can email it, are you not worried that it could be copied and distibuted by baddies?

Re: Wanted: Soundbank tester for Roland GAIA SH-01
Thank you for the interest people. I got the test drivers I asked for.
Re: Wanted: Soundbank tester for Roland GAIA SH-01
Luftrum also entrusted me to demo these patches. I really enjoyed this sound bank, the sounds were rich and in some cases very deep. I particularly liked switching on the other tones when they were not used only to find that these also complimented the patch or brought it to a different level. The D Beam worked very well with these patches adding to the soundscape. There were some patches I felt were average but when I listened again or left them on hold I heard what the whole sound was – fantastic. For me it was about working with them, playing, There are no average patches here, and for someone who is new to the GAIA and synthesis in general, these will definitely bring your skills up a notch or two.
A brilliant addition to the GAIA, very slick, very professional.
Thanks
Mike

Luftrum Gorgeous samples, since you have a lot of experience in creating sounds what do you think of the GAIA SH01?

Re: Wanted: Soundbank tester for Roland GAIA SH-01
I find the GAIA to be extremely fun to work with. The hands-on control really is the GAIA's force. I was easily lost in tweakland with countless hours of dialing, tweaking, sliding and experimenting with sounds in general... one hand on the keys and the other hovering around the various knobs and sliders like crazy. For me, that equals pure joy.
It's also a really great synth if you're new to synthesis!
I could use some extra's to be added ie. how much of each OSC to send to FX and an extra LFO would really make a huge difference too + some nonlinear envelopes would add to the sound as well.
