Geoff from geoffmobile.com shows how to make the stereotypical “Reality TV” sound using his Roland GAIA SH-01 synthesizer.

This kind of sound is also known as “Marimba” or “Xylophone”. I modelled it using two sine waves and an optional triangle wave.
For the sample audio files from this video, as well as the downlodable “Reality TV.gaia” Roland GAIA Patch file, please visit:

To load the gaia patch file onto your gaia, you will need to connect the Gaia to your computer using USB cable, and then use the Gaia Tool by Grauw, which is freely available here:
