Hello,
Let me preference my question by stating that I'm completely new to analog synthesis (or modeled analog synthesis for that matter) and I'm not a keyboard player - at all!
Recently, I purchased a Gaia as a fun toy. I have to admit that I'm pretty blown away and am absolutely having a ball with it.
To get started with patch programming, I bought Fred Welsh's Synthesizer Cookbook. It's been very informative for me. In one section, he includes programming values for a number of different instruments. In order to make best use of these, one must know general parameter values. Resonance frequencies. Oscilator speeds, etc. As far as I can tell, the Gaia really doesn't give the user any way of knowing what the true values are. At least not in the sense that x value on this particular control represents x actual value. Welsh's book does include tons of calibration wavs that will help determine this values in a rough sense. I suspect that the better your ears, the better your results will be. Being new to this, I don't think my ears are very good at this.
He also outlines how to use audio analyzer software to get these values a bit more precisely and I will try that sooner than later.
However, it occurred to me that I must not be the first Gaia user that would like this information. So I thought I'd ask if anyone here knows where a good copy of this data can be found. I hope this isn't a question that has been asked a dozen times. I searched the forum and found no similar posts.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Greg
