Most will probably just plug in an external effects processor to compensate.Ĩ. You still get the D-Beam, Ext In, Phrase Recorder, and all the other bells and whistles that the Gaia has with the exception of the effects. Some think basses are slightly better sounding on the SH-201 as well, but that is subjective I know.ħ. I also think the SH-201 is a bit grittier which I personally like for Rock oriented synth stuff I sometimes like to play. Sonically, the Gaia is better, but not by a wide margin in my opinion. If you only use two layers of sounds ( which most people will I’m guessing initially ), then the SH-201 will get you close to the great sound of the Gaia. Yes, it’s longer but the synth is really not that much bigger and the SH-201 is still light weight.Ħ. You get an extra octave over the 37 keys on the GAIA. This is what the SH-01 should have had and I’m mystified as to why they dropped it. You also can save your own created arpeggios to the user slots on the SH-201. If you plug in an iPod with backtracks, you can more easily create a sort of one man band using the Sh-201 since you can split the keyboard better.Ĥ. This makes it great to play a bass sound on the lower part of the synth, while cranking out a lead solo on top.ģ. Via the software, you can split the keyboard any way you like. The Roland SH-201 has software that fully supports the creation and catalog of sounds on the computer. Personally, for what you get, I think the price should have been the other way around to a certain degree.įor my purposes, I actually prefer the Roland SH-201 over the SH-01.

I own both of these synthesizers and here’s what I think.įirst, I bought the Roland SH-201 used for $500 bucks over a year ago, so I definitely got it much cheaper than paying full price for the Roland SH-01 Gaia.
