Synth Basics - Fundamentals - Gaia SH-01 

You explained this perfectly for a beginner. I really appreciate it man. Every video until this one, they fail to acknowledge the little guys knowledge on this! Thank you.

I bought a Gaia this year to learn about how to program a synth. Finally getting started. A lot of general negativity about this synth, however if I learn how to program it will be worth it. So glad I found your RU-vid on the subject. Thank you so much. 😀

Thank you! Been searching all morning for a clear, concise, simple , logically-organized intro to synth basics, and this one was the only one that didn't leave me annoyed and confused.

Thank you so so so so infinitely much for this! I am subscribing and I wanna email you and seriously thank you personally. This is the best explanation I've found in my YEARS of searching. You are the best!!!! (Young self taught producer from queens nyc, salute!)

Thanks very much Ed for making this so easy to understand and also for presenting the concepts as they relate to each other in one big picture by using the Gaia synth. Excellent!

Thanks for the simple breakdown, other vids people talk in circles and it gets more confusing and annoying. This is easy to understand and actually helpful.

Thanks Ed, very clear and really helpful. I wish I found this video about 500 video's sooner:-)))

why has it taken me so long to find your vids! Hemano, thank you immensely for helping me and other with not just the gear in question but the concept in of synthesis in general.

Thank you Ed! I've been looking for something like this for a while.

This is great for trying to help my friends understand what i'm talking about!

Great explanations simplified all the bobs and knobs to new comers!

great series of videos! I have been learning the Gaia for a few months and it's always good to have a refresher. thanks Ed!!!

This was the best explanation I found! Thank you so much!

WOW! Wish I seen this five years ago when I first started getting into synthesizers! :)

Very well explained Ed, kudos and Merry Christmas!

Absolutely amazing vid! Very helpful. Thanks Ed!

Great explanation! Helped so much with my sh-201

Wow this Gaia looks and sounds great.

Let me think about this. I think I have 2 ways you could re-create it. I'll do one version with a X8 and another example with the Gaia. I'll have something shot and posted this weekend.

Great video man very easy to follow!

so using the lfo section and the super saw u can create the sound used on the song sung glass at night

Just got one of these for the purpose of teaching synthesis...but I'm really sad that Roland stopped selling the Sound Designer Software...didn't realize it was discontinued. :(

one question ed.. i wanted to know since im interested in learning how to make sounds can i use the sh 01 without a program like live playing?

Hey Ed, is it safe to say that the Gaia is the modern day equivalent of a Mini Moog? That's what it reminds me of. Will it do a long (adjustable) glissando throughout the range of the keyboard? As an example, I'm speaking of the minimoog solo in Heart's, "Magic Man (where the keyboardist does the long, slow, downward slur from the high F# to the lowest F# on the keyboard). The rate at which this effect occurs is adjustable on a Mini Moog. I can't recreate this on my Roland X7.

So is the lfo a more imple way of controlling the amp and the filter?

Very good video. Thank you!

Ed. When you initialise one of the presets and create the string sound, do you lose the initial preset. I take it once you have created a new sound you can save that sound without losing the preset sound.

Very helpful, thank you!

thank you!

Thanks Ed

thanks ed u r the man!!!

thank you!!!!

Pulse/PWM is not a type of waveform, but a square wave which you can adjust the pulse width.

i appreciate you

Thanks, very helpful me noob

Ed..... You The F@#KN MAN!!!!
