Roland Gaia SH01 (Synth)
How have you been using it ?
- By pressing different keys you get a variety of different sounds and also effects.
- I've been messing around with the effects you can get from it, such as reverb, distortion, phaser, pitch shifter, delay with panning and tempo sync etc.
- Even though it has less keys than the other synth, with the Gaia you can change octaves with the octave key, you can transpose, you can change the pitch.
What are the limitations ?
With the Gaia you can't record or save sounds in it and different from the other synths, the Roland Gaia has much less keys than the other synthesisers, for example, the Roland Juno-6 or the Roland AX-Synth.
How could you use it effectively in performance ?
The Gaia can be used in any song, because even though it is a small synth it has a lot to offer, it has many songs that can be added in any part of a song and it can be used to add texture.

RC-5 (Loop Station)
How have you been using it ?
I've been using it to record different guitar parts, for example, the rhythm and then the melody. I also used it to record a bass line or even me just tapping/drumming on the guitar.
What are the limitations ?
- With the RC-5 if you record loads of sounds then you can't go back and choose which instruments you want to delete or re-record, you can only delete the previous sound.
- With this loop station you don't have the control of the instruments, if you record guitar, bass and then you tapping on the guitar and then you want to stop one of them, then you can't because you don't have the control of the sounds you are recording.
How could you use it effectively in performance ?
The RC-5 can be very helpful if you are doing a solo performance, for example, if you are guitarist and you are doing a solo performance, in the beginning you can just start by strumming the guitar, then adding a bass line to your song if you want, then do some tapping on the guitar body and then just adding a melody line on top of it. Any other instruments can use it for the same thing,
