It sounds more interesting than I was expecting . The first Gaia was very thin sounding, awesome for playing Crystal Castles

[@Jexus]

Thanks! (the Gaia 1 was nothing like this, this synth is very okay, as opposed to the first Gaia which was horrible to me)

[@jaycee30865]

I miss the trippy Polish Czech Russian Soviet Mongolian Kazakhstani Azerbaijani Lithuanian and upper Silesian movie clips that you used to mix in.

[@12qwertyuiop90]

Yep. The first image is Czechs coastal sunset.

Alot of really cool shit came out of the Soviet Union. Those people were/still are very creative dreamers. Our capitalist regime f*** we the people over almost as much as their Communist Regime did, just in a different way. Even way back when we were taught to think of them as a warmongering beehive where no one had rights, they were actually getting it on and having a good time. Used to be that they would lock you up for a long time for having a little weed...but then again so did Texas! Both our media and intermedia has always tried to convince our respective people that they are the worst and we are the best. The truth is we are both the best... the best competition that both of us ever had. And what's really funny is that if you look at KZbin videos from Russia Today of people doing crazy (fun) stuff, you have to be honest that if we did some of that stuff the cops would be on us right away and arrest us

[@govorit_i_pokazivaet]

Российскими вставками можно смело пренебречь. Видео Jexus великолепны и без них.

Soon as I saw you posted bro took break from what I was doin just to watch . You’re the king man

[@Jexus]

Thanks✌

[@driftlessgeardemos]

Has a late 90s va filter sound to it. Don’t hate it. Kinda reminds me of an Alesis Ion made for 2024

[@alpharisc]

Been watching your videos since the beginning. Always lovely, I do miss the warped videos a bit though

[@Jexus]

Thanks! Warped videos are good for warped-sounding synths;) My pro-800 demo from a couple of months back has some.

[@nalaeel219]

Awsome!!!! Love your videos. Thank you so much for doing these. Your a top tier sound designer

[@Jexus]

Thank you!

nice variety, very smooth sounds. probably great for mixing in addition to performing

[@choppertownnation]

Thank you Jexus keep em coming.

[@desktorp]

Cool that they made a new Gaia that doesn't suck.

[@Jexus]

It's a bit plasticky-sounding at times but it's really fun to play. And it's a monster chameleon. The second demo called "Analog + Digital" that I'm finishing will focus more on that chameleon aspect.

" WELCOME TO THE LAGOON, my son " said our host as we boarded at high TIDE. The SUNSET was spectacular and highlighted the wisps of vapour from the FUMAROLES in the distance. Our journey to POLYNESIA had been exciting so far I thought as a BOMBUS BEE flew alarmingly close to my head, no doubt on its way inland, attracted by the sweet smell of the COCOA HARVEST. I asked for more ICE in my drink as I swayed to the gentle motion of the WAVES. I caught a glimpse of the MONKEY in its cage on deck and felt sorry for the creature. Its evident discomfort made me uncomfortable. Still, I'm glad to escape the winter in my CHILLY HOUSE with the howling WIND outside. The location of the vacation was chosen by a DICE roll whilst drinking with FRIENDS before the EROSION of funds would make such a trip impossible. A glimpse of the SEA HORSES in their natural habitat is on my ' to do ' list, along with a visit to the HYDROPONICS facility on the mainland. The monkey is starting to do some sort of JIG in its cage, probably due to anxiety, or maybe excitement created by the smells wafting from the OVEN below deck in the galley. The BOUNCERS on the young lady with the low cut dress are very distracting as they move to the motion of the WAVES. I suspect the monkey belongs to the VILLAGE CHIEF on board. Maybe it was brought for good luck ! Folks from the CITIES like myself have little understanding of such things. The chief seems to have a fascination with the OILY FISH at the buffet but his BEADS are getting in way of his utensils as he attempts to put it on his plate. " OCEANS BREATH " is quite a poetic name for a boat, but a bit odd since there are no sails. I check the WEATHER FORECAST on my phone, when a noise not dissimilar to a WOODPECKER startles me. Turns out the guy from OTAGO has brought his blasted bongos with him. There could be some MAMMAL VS MAMMAL confrontation if he persists. I'm still distracted by the result of the OSCILLATIONS of the waves on the bosoms of the young lady. She will have plenty of ' LOVESTICKS ' to choose from on this vacation, that's for sure ! If only I was younger 🙁 Still, there are other delights for us ADVENTURERS. Apparently a GOLD LLAMA is buried on one of the islands for us to find. ADHESIVE TAPE holds the old map together but I reckon chief ' WATER FATHER ' and his ' good luck ' monkey know something about ANGEL ISLAND where it's buried. ' WOMBAT WOBBLE ' his aptly named wife has noticed me looking, so I better be more discreet. I wonder if the TEAM GAMES mentioned in the itinerary include the search for the gold llama? Sharing the value could be tricky. I'm noticing PECULIARITIES in the movement of the waves now with VORTICES forming in distinct ZONES of water. I noticed something similar when visiting PAGO PAGO. It was a long time ago but my memory made the connection through the HAZE of time. I'm still wearing the MEDUSE sandals that I bought there. Amazing WOODWORKS is something else I remember from that trip. The high CIRRUS clouds are catching the moonlight as we remain AFLOAT on this tiny vessel in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, the sound of the annoying tune ' NUTTY CRACK ' by Dim Dim destroys my contemplation. ' WATER FATHER ' and ' WOMBAT WOBBLE ' are now pondering whether to add some ALFALFA and BABY CRABS to their now mountainous plates of food from the buffet. I neglected to maintain my journal entries because so much happened. Many SULTRY NIGHTS have passed and it's first time I've had to witness INTRUDERS being repelled on the high seas. The golden llama turned out to be a KRAZY HIPPO in my opinion. The one STORM we had to endure was weathered with the help of the krazy MUTATIONS of sound courtesy of Jexus and his keyboard demos of which I am in awe. GOODBYE.

I wish there was a special distinction / award emoji for this comment;)

[@georgeoh-well8116]

@@Jexus Thanks. Just did it for a larff and thought it would appeal to your sense of humour. Thanks for all the amazing content.

[@MiloSatori]

What a beautiful synth is the Gaia 2. I never got interested in the Gaia, it was too idk, like the sh-201. I was more excited to play the m audio venom 🤣

Hoping that Roland will do another firmware update that allows us to hold shift and do log and expo curves on the envelope segments. Also, hope they keep working on the filter because apparently the CPU is quite capable in this thing.. would love to hear how it would sound if Andy from Cytomic were consulting or similar.. feel like the synth is capable of much better sound quality and parameter ranges/mapping.. even if it means eating into the 22-note polyphony I'd prefer that.

[@Jexus]

Someone working for Roland told me it is very improbable that we will get new features of the engine in a future update. Roland released the 1.1 for a couple of bug fixes and that's basically it.

[@jumpstar9000]

​@Jexus Oh nooo, boo. It does feel like an experimental synth from them. Like the tech guys were given a product to do whatever they wanted with, a bit like the JD-Xi... but that's that, when it's done it's done!! Well I don't know if that is the case but it is a nice story. It's a shame, but still, I love it for what it is. Quite unique in form and capability.

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Amazing...Thanks for the wonderful sounds!. I have not added anything to mine so far...may I ask where these sounds land? Will I loose any of the factory sounds to add 300 new ones? Thx .....Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

[@Jexus]

Glad you're enjoying the sounds! On your Gaia-2 there are 2 buttons / banks: "preset" and "user". My sounds will go into the "user" bank. If you decide to import individual patches (or small sets of patches), the Gaia will ask you about your desired destination. However, I'm not sure about importing all 333. They may just land in slots 0-333 because that's how I originally saved them. The thing is - Roland has not released a Gaia-2 librarian, and I'm not sure they ever will!

[@BLMT-df4on]

i missed you

Danke Jexus

[@PsytoxKoma]

8:50 P124... seems like we have identical musical taste, i'm sure i know the original, what's the song?

[@Jexus]

the patch title gives it away;)

[@PsytoxKoma]

@@Jexus Exactly! I'm even murmuring some vocal motives under the chorus, and still can't remember! Ok, please name the album :D

[@PsytoxKoma]

@@Jexus phew, that was a tough one. Mann gegen Mann

[@ecclesoul]

Do you plan on making a 3rd pack? I think you can make sounds that really show the capability of the synth regardless of public perception.

[@Jexus]

I'm not making a 3rd pack but I'm making a 3rd video. It's going to have more dark & aggresive sounds. Coming this month:)

[@ecclesoul]

@@Jexus Nice. Despite what everyone says, it’s a great synth. People just hate Roland for not making analog like they used to. At least that’s what it looks like.

[@Jexus]

@@ecclesoul Just to clarify: I never make more than 1 preset pack. The videos may have various titles hinting at their moods (like "SOFT" or "EVIL") but all these sounds come from the same Jexus preset pack for any given synth.

[@ecclesoul]

@@Jexus Ah, okay.

[@ecclesoul]

@@Jexus One last question: do any of these presets take full advantage of the (E)Motional Pad or is it put on the back-burner as you play?

[@emnigmamachine]

I had the OG Gaia and kinda hated it. Glad this one seems way better. Roland knocking it out of the park being the weirdest modern synth manufacturer

[@Jexus]

When I had it in 2013, I felt like the Gaia 1 was my worst-sounding, least-inspiring synth. And I had played around 100 different synths at that time.

[@pinkjoys1127]

How did u know to play my riff ... 😂 Stuff stuff

[@0v4k1l]

Sea horses...OOF!

[@saifeek]

Sounds a lot better than Gaia 1 which I hated

[@Jexus]

To me it's a wholly different synth now. I think the UI is the best part of it.

[@80iesDude45]

KORG Minilogue, sorry Gaia ;-)

[@milk_bath]

Pretty different synths. Are you feeling insecure?

[@80iesDude45]

@@milk_bath Come on, this is a full Minilogue copy, Uli Behringer couldn't have done better

[@milk_bath]

@@80iesDude45Minilogue is a 4 voice analog poly. How is this a copy? Gaia 1 came out before the Minilogue, does that mean the Minilogue is actually the copycat? Really think about your next words, I beg you.

[@ROGCX703]

Not good. I just purchased this set. Max. 30 out of 300 are kind of new/modern or different. About 270 Sounds are cheap bread and butter sounds or nearly doublicates of what the factory sounds are. Not worth the price.

[@t.n.3819]

"Doublicates" lol

[@stinkypete9070]

Great patches Something about the Gaia sounds very late 90s early 2000s, not sure why. Takes me back to long summer days on the playstation. Kinda want one now :P
