Common Roland GAIA 2 Questions
How do I connect and configure my MIDI keyboard or other MIDI device to the GAIA 2?
Connect your MIDI device to the GAIA 2's MIDI IN port or via USB-MIDI. Then, navigate to the System settings menu (press SHIFT + MENU) and ensure 'MIDI Input' is set to the correct port and channel to receive MIDI data.
How do I save my custom synth sounds and patterns on the GAIA 2?
To save a sound, hold the SHIFT button and press a Kit button (1-8). To save a pattern, press REC, record your sequence, and then use the SHIFT+Kit buttons to save the pattern to a Kit slot.
I'm not hearing any sound from the GAIA 2. What should I check first?
Ensure the volume knob is turned up, the headphones aren't plugged in (disabling the line outputs), and the local control is turned on in the System menu (SHIFT+MENU) if you're using an external MIDI controller.
What is the 'Motional' Pad for on the GAIA 2 and how do I use it effectively?
The Motional Pad allows you to record and playback performance gestures that control parameters like filter cutoff, resonance, and LFO depth; engage it with the 'Motional Rec' button, move your finger on the pad, then press it again to stop and save the motion.
How do I create and chain patterns together to build a full song on the GAIA 2?
Record patterns using the sequencer, save them to different Kits, and then use the 'Pattern Chain' function (accessed via SHIFT+Pattern Chain button) to arrange the Kits in a desired order to create a song structure.
