Comments about Roland GAIA SH-01 Virtual Analog Synthesizer:
There is a little learning curve on this one with the different sections. There are certain limitations...unless I just haven't figured out to get around the challenge. The benefits far outweigh the difficulties, so if you own one of these just stick with it.
