[ RESONANCE] knob
Resonance emphasizes the sound in the region of the fi lter
cutoff frequency.
Increasing the resonance setting will increase this em-
phasis, producing a distinctive sound that is characteristic
of synthesizers. If you want to accentuate the resonance
eff ect, it's a good idea to lower the cutoff slightly.

• Turning the knob toward the right will emphasize the
sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, producing a
more distinctive sound.
• Turning the knob toward the left will remove the emphasis
from the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency,
producing a milder sound.
* If "BYPASS" is selected as the fi lter mode, turning the
[RESONANCE] knob will not aff ect the sound.
NOTE
In response to demands by pro sound designers for
tonechanging capabilities, the GAIA SH-01 permits a wide
variety of resonance settings. Because of this, raising the
resonance level too much results in extremely high output
levels in specifi c frequency ranges. Be careful to keep the
volume settings down when creating sounds in order to
prevent overloading audio playback equipment.

[ KEY FOLLOW] knob
Here's how you can make the fi lter cutoff frequency to vary
according to the key you play.
• Turning the knob toward the right (maximum value is
+100) will make the cutoff frequency rise as you play
toward the right side of the keyboard, and fall as you play
toward the left side of the keyboard.
• Turning the knob toward the left (maximum value is -100)
will make the cutoff frequency fall as you play toward the
right side of the keyboard, and rise as you play toward the
left side of the keyboard.
• If the knob is in the center position (0), the cutoff
frequency will not be aff ected by the notes you play.
* If "BYPASS" is selected as the fi lter mode, changing this
setting will not aff ect the sound.

FILTER ENV (Filter envelope)
On instruments such as a piano, the beginning of each
note has a bright sound, which gradually becomes darker
(more mellow) as the note decays.
The fi lter envelope lets you simulate this and many other
kinds of time-varying changes in brightness.
