GAIA Improvement Suggestions - FIRMWARE UPDATE
15 Jul 2010, 12:26We'd like to forward some suggestions to Roland for the Gaia, on behalf of the Gaia Users Group of Los Angeles/Dallas/New York, as a possible firmware update:
1 - To add an option for per oscillator drift, aka analog slop - slight natural detuning like analog synths - would be a very welcome feature that is usually present on VAs but not yet on the Gaia.
2 - When you save a patch, the effects settings won't be saved if you have turned the fx off. For example, I programmed the flanger, but pressed the flanger button so the red light went off. Then saved. When I went back the patch, the flanger parameters went to default.
3 - One bass boost level is better than none, but 3 levels would be so much more helpful to warm up patches without the one large bass boost option presently offered.
4 - Retrig option - to have the envelopes retrig with every legato key press .
5 - Compare function - to be able to toggle between the patch as it was saved, and the patch in it's current edited state.
These changes would really help us Gaia users.
