I read from three different people who independently contacted Roland UK, Roland Germany and Roland Australia that it would be released in May 2011.

The Grauw Gaia Tool is doing everything I personally wanted.

Patch Library, Arpeggiator editing and Patch tempo control.
I may now no longer purchase the Roland editor as, in addition to the above, it seems to be only offering a nice graphic display of the Gaia controls.

Same for me too. I'm not prepared to pay $99 for a virtual o-scope, which is all that would interest me in addition what Grauw's tool provides.

I wonder if Grauw's tool will help force a rethink of their pricing of the tool (or whether they even bother to sell it at a fee)? Or do people think there will still be enough academic customers for them to make money on it?

Should be possible to find a free oscilloscope for Windows or Mac that you can use. The GAIA’s just another audio input after all. On Ubuntu Linux here at work if I enter ‘oscilloscope’ in the software center I get two results. Found some for Windows, too.

Visualising editing history and undo is another feature Roland’s editor will have. Should be able to add such a thing to my tool with relative ease though.

Cool - any ideas of good oscilloscope apps for Mac? Preferably that support displaying the waveforms/visualisations on external displays?

I've always wanted to run a projector as a secondary display at gigs that would just make cool visuals in time to my music! :)

What a great idea. In fact, I wonder if there is any free software that does psychadelic type displays in time to the music? Something, like the Windows Media Player display when it plays an mp3.

Yep, this is exactly what I was imagining! :-) although I'd be just as happy with just an oscilloscope kinda display, to give things a cool retro vibe!!

Anyone know of anything?

I bet you can hook up Winamp visualisations to a sound input. If there’s no easy way you can always try running it through a shoutcast deamon.
