This is a great piece of software for newbies ( there's even a virtual C.R.O. and it can record the entire process of creating a sound, which is quirky and useful) and those who need to store gazillions of presets. I personally always find it odd when gear that is festooned with lots of useful knobs and sliders has editing software for it, but horses for courses i guess.

I still cannot understand, however, why roland havent made this at least bi-timbral. It couldnt have been that much of a stretch, considering the legendary jp8000 & 8080, on which this is closely based, both were.

Probably because of the 3 octave keyboard...

PS. You could check out the Facebook community for the GAIA for tips and tricks and videos...

Seemingly roland has balls to try charging for their editor. must be the worst idea ever to charge $99 for an editor that gives absolute no extra value to the user.

Which is nicer, tweak all the knobs of gaia using both your hands or mouse one parameter at a time watching tiny icons on your screen? Pay $99 for using the mouse? lol. stupid idea.

Roland seems only to fail at the moment. Their support not only sucks ass, it also now cost a lot.
