Some musical ideas on Roland Gaia SH-01 synth, October 11 2015 by geoffmobile

After warming up on technique (in my other video here: youtu.be/86l1dR1R9BI ) I noodled around with some improvised musical ideas on the Roland Gaia SH-01 synthesizer. I especially enjoyed how using a fast delay and a repeated right hand pattern, I could make a shimmering fast musical riff (15:35). I also liked the big organ-like sound I got when playing rich layered chords using a Sawtooth patch (7:16).

Piano Technique Practice on Roland Gaia Synth – Piano Scales, Chords, Arpeggios

I found that doing technique practice on the Roland Gaia helped me play better on this particular keyboard. Here is a video of my 30 minute practice session. In this video, I warm up by playing a bit of Michael Jackson’s “Human Nature”, and then I move into doing a series of piano-inspired technique exercises including different major scales, chromatic scales, scales in thirds and sixths, and broken chords. I find the challenge when trying to move these exercises from the full piano keyboard to the 3 octaves of the gaia, is to still give my hands a workout while only playing within the available 3 octaves.
