How the GAIA SH-01 is Organized
Basic Structure
Broadly speaking, the GAIA SH-01 consists of a controller
section, a sound generator section, and e ects.
Controller section
The controller section is what you play.
For example, the performer’s actions, such as “playing the
keyboard” are conveyed by the controller section to the
sound generator section, causing it to produce sound.
The GAIA SH-01’s controller section consists of the
keyboard, the pitch bend/modulation lever, the D BEAM
controller, the panel buttons and knobs, and pedals
connected to the rear panel.
Sound generator section
This section produces the sound.
It receives the performance data sent by the controller
section, electronically creates the basic waveform, and
modi es the brightness and loudness of the sound to
create a broad range of tonal characteristics.
The GAIA SH-01’s sound generator section allows you to
instantly adjust numerous elements that determine the
sound’s character (waveform, pitch, brightness, loudness,
etc.) using the knobs and buttons of the panel.
E ects
The GAIA SH-01 contains a variety of e ects, and each can
be adjusted independently.
Performance Functions
The GAIA SH-01 contains a variety of e ects, and each can
be adjusted independently.
Arpeggiator (p. 22)
This allows you to produce arpeggios simply by pressing a
chord on the keyboard.
Tempo (p. 23)
You can easily change the tempo of the arpeggiator or
phrase recorder by pressing the [TAP TEMPO] button
several times in rhythm with the desired tempo.
Octave (p. 20)
You can shift the keyboard’s pitch range in steps of an
octave, for a maximum shift of three octaves upward or
downward.
Transpose (p. 20)
This function shifts the keyboard’s pitch range in steps of a
semitone, for a maximum shift of -5–+6 semitones.
Phrase recorder (p. 24)
This allows you to record a phrase of several measures. By
recording only control operations such as knob move-
ments, you can also make the knobs operate automatically.
