Actually looks like the Reaper DAW can render audio input as Winamp visualisations.

Thank you everyone for your replies.

FYI, one reason I got to thinking about a new version of the Gaia, is because at the Roland site for the Sound Designer software, at the bottom of the page, in a note, it says:

* Before using this product, you may need to update your GAIA SH-01 to the latest version. In order to perform the update, you will need a separately available USB memory device.

So, there are at least updates, somewhere, or coming...

Ah nice quote you found there, I was already hoping that the release of the sound designer would be followed by a firmware update… Maybe that was the cause of the delays? Anyway I hope that there will indeed be a firmware update, there’s a thing or two, or five, that they could fix :)."

That's an unusually long delay yet again, given it was supposed to be finished a year ago almost now.

What do people think? Some have rumoured it's due to an additional firmware update, but I wonder if Grauw's Gaia tool has actually trumped them... their literature makes no reference at all to arpeggio editing which is a major ommission. Right now they've got the Action List which is nice and an o-scope, but apart from that there's not much reason to look at their software.

"What do people think? "

Grauw's editor may not look glitzy, but it certainly does the job as an editor pretty well. Hopefully, he will add a couple more features to make storing and organizing patches easier. But, it's pretty amazing to say that he allows it to be downloaded for free.

Many thanks..

I don’t think my tool has trumped them to be honest, their GUI looks much nicer! Although if it causes them to not make it a lazy job of it, or maybe to reconsider the pricing, I’ll say mission accomplished :).

But actually, I’ve heard that the SH-201 editor has a pretty configurable design, so it’s not like Roland has to create an editor from scratch. I really don’t understand why it has to take so long.

I love Grauw's editor! Although I do find it somewhat confusing (anybody know if there's a manual or any tutorials for doing things like editing arpeggios/saving new patches? I've worked it out through trial and error, but I'd love to see how to do it properly..... ??

As for the sound designer software, I think that any companion software for the Gaia should be freely downloadable from Roland, given the amount many of us have already paid for the synthesiser. I'd expect nothing less!
