Triple-Stacked Virtual Analog Engine
The triple-stacked engine puts potent virtual analogue synthesis under your fingertips, comprising three complete synths for incredibly thick, powerful sound. Unleash the three oscillators that drive a trio of multimode resonant filters, multi-shape LFOs and amplifiers, plus nine envelope generators and a complete multi-effects system. It’s like having three synthesizers in one! With 64 polyphonic voices onboard, GAIA makes it possible to play massive sounds without experiencing note drop-out.
Multi-Effects
From the silkiest reverb to the grittiest growl, GAIA’s instantly selectable multi-effects will catapult your sounds into another spatial dimension. You can layer up to five simultaneous effects for dozens of variations. The onboard effects include reverb, distortion, fuzz, bit crash, flanger, phaser, pitch shifter, low boost, and delay with panning and tempo sync. Dedicated control knobs are provided for tweaking the effects in real-time.
Hands-On Control
The front panel puts every control directly under your fingertips. There are no hidden menus, no nonsense. Just play and move the knobs and sliders, or wave your hands over the invisible D Beam for dramatic effects. The logically designed front panel shows the signal path from left to right. It helps beginners understand synthesis while experienced players will love the instant gratification of hands-on control during performance.
Create Musical Magic
Hold a note or chord and let the arpeggiator create musical magic automatically for you. The tempo can be set via cursor or tap tempo. In addition, the onboard Phrase Recorder lets you record what you play on the keyboard, as well as the movements of the knobs and sliders. The controller data can also be played back independently to complement the notes you play in real time.
Technology
Connect directly to a computer (Mac or PC) with one simple USB cable and stream audio directly to the software of your choice. GAIA’s USB port can also be used to transmit and receive MIDI data and to store your patches and phrases (recorded with the Phrase Recorder) to a USB memory stick. And for integrating with other external devices, the EXT input lets you connect external audio sources, such as an MP3-player, to play along with your favorite songs or backing tracks. Manipulate the incoming audio with three Center Cancel modes, which let you minimize pre-recorded vocals, guitars, or bass.
