Hi Jack,
Thanks for your email about synthesis. I am actually not sure how the sounds in the patch set correspond to the songs in the article. I recommend posting your question on the Roland UK Blog at:
http://www.roland.co.uk/blog/recreate-15-iconic-synth-sounds
In any case, the patches that Roland provides are a good starting point to learn what is possible with the Roland Gaia and experiment with your own sounds.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about the synthesis that I might be able to help!
Regards,
Geoff
I’m very new to synthesis and so don’t really know the tricks of the trade, I was just wondering if the patches I downloaded (15 iconic synth patches) actually contain the patches for the songs stated in the article? (In particular I need kids and insomnia) Or would I have needed to go to the workshops to learn how to play these? Many thanks, Jack.
