I was SO jealous to my friend who got XP-50 in the beginning of the 90s whereas I only had a shitty JV-35. I got to sample the XP50 sounds with my Amiga and used the samples with Protracker a LOT. Few years ago I finally got my hands on a cheap XP-30 (150€ or so) and I am still loving it and using it a lot.

@@novalogue it's less about what it's capable of doing, as evidenced here the wave shaper and wave table modulations are pretty flexible, and more about what they're charging for it - the Monologue and Minilogue at least used an analogue signal chain which understandably pushed the price up. Roland is asking basically the same price for digital versions, and afaict it's all DSP rather than something like high-frequency FPGA. Don't get me wrong, I like what this can do, but most of it is just a VA synth (with subscription stuff added on top) rather than reaaalllly leaning-into its digital nature. Not 100% regular VA, but mostly. And indeed the reprogrammable digital "oscillator" in the newer Minilogue can do a lot of the digital-hybrid sounding stuff too.
@novalogue

I think its the other way around - they charge way to much for an unflexible analog synth that can be recreated by digital engines which are way more powerful - watch the Prophet 5 comparsion with the guy sitting on the floor - the difference what analog should do cant be accounted - the only one that cares if its analog or not is that guy in our mind talking about needing an analog synth for good bread and butter sounds - no one cares out there only we synth nerds that have to pin point a difference between analog/digital with a huge magnifying glass haha - the gaia doesnt sound like a Minilogue of course because its not modeled after one it has its one character but much more of everything and is a thing that lets you be more creative and not slamming the same old saw patch over and over again that cant even be modulated properly or be played with only up to 4 voices The digital oscillitar in the XD is a Menu dive oscillator - a pain in the ass to dial in if you dont only want to use basically 2 parameters on this Analog synths if they arent cheap and innovative are basically a retrovibe - a feeling -not a rational thing at least in terms of making music with a synthesizer and not only leave them untouched on your desk

@@novalogue it’s totally valid to decide that you get no value from analogue circuits, but they objectively cost more than the digital ones nowadays. That’s what I’m discussing about the price, at least there’s a material reason for it. And it’s not just Roland, people said the same to Korg about the Wavestate and Opsix - “why are we paying 100% extra over the cost of a plugin and MIDI controller?” I feel similarly about the Minilogue XD oscillator, I knew I’d never have the patience for the menus. But you can undeniably load up many other software models, made by indie programmers and sold one-off instead of a centrally-curated subscription. That’s an obvious consumer friendliness advantage over monthly subscriptions. Korg is a much smaller company than Roland too, so they have less overhead, but it understandably makes people perceive Roland as greedy. If we’re focusing purely on the sound, after all, why spend £800 on this when you could do it all with software synths? People are looking for something unique to justify being in hardware. For some, the envelope sliders and touchpad are enough of a USP. For many, they take the opinion “if I’m paying for hardware, there’d better be some actual hardware inside of it”.

While they do generally have that clean Roland sound (and the Gaia 2 is no exception) is it 800 Euros worth of sound and would I really use it? I somehow doubt it. When I look at certain synths that I use as backbone or fillers - such as a Juno or even the JD-08 - I don't really think it's enough for me. It's nice and all but there's so much else out there that makes this lost in the crowd. And that's the main thing that puzzles me about Roland these days.

@@voltijuice8576 I couldn't care less about how theoretically versatile the middling digital oscillator can be, does it have the "infinite variety" right now? Or will that happen in 35 years? Screw the theoretical. And it cannot make up for the lack of mod options. The filter doesn't even have high-pass or band-pass modes either, aside from its numerous other limitations. My awesome Novation Peak I have now isn't theoretical by far, but also fittingly in a different price league, and a purchase opportunity that presented itself a few years later.

While I did appreciate my hands on time with G2 in the showroom at the local Music store, I couldn’t help but understand truly what this is. It is a money making mechanism for Roland. It’s almost a disingenuous offering when you realize it’s the ROLAND scraps of everything that was already existing on the market. And then they took all the scraps and had a brilliant idea, let’s come out with the GAIA2 ! It makes me wonder if this is the same philosophy that they used when they put out the G1. It is a great beginner synth. Or an excellent performance controller with a built-in sound engine, including a shopping cart for prepaid plastic plug-ins PPP - 😮 Thank you for watching and ‘are you really giving me an NFR unit, for free?’ “No!”….. ‘ See you next time ‘ ❤

You can always pick out the "Zencore" synth engine in Roland's gear whether it's this synth, the AX Edge, or the MC707. It always has that same "electricy" edge to it. Almost like the chimey sound of a DX7. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

It can't be the most hated, simply because it hasn't been out long. It has five times the knobs of the Minilogue, plus a big display and touch pad. I don't think it's pricey for 750 EUR. It was very strange to hear you talk the synth down while demonstrating how good it sounds :)
