Alright guys…

I have an opportunity to buy either the Roland SH-201 or the Gaia SH-01.  I am wondering which you all suggest (as far as psychedelic/downtempo/Shpongly production) or which would better suit my needs.

Thanks in advance!

Also, on the side, I’m looking to get a better sound card without breaking the bank.  Any suggestions on that would be appreciated as well.

Hey man!! :-D The Gaia is just a newer and fresher model of the SH-201,so I would most def go for the Gaia!! I have the SH-201 mysef,and it`s a simple and fun synth, with the nice Roland filter inside, but the Gaia is mutch more versatile!! I know you`ll love it. Go for it!! :-D let us know how it works out!! ENJOY!!

Well, Carl, you sold me

Getting the Gaia this weekend!  I will most definitely let you know.

I’d say the SH-101 though hehehe
