Updating the GAIA-2 to the latest version

You must update your GAIA-2 to the latest version to use tone les (*) from Roland Cloud.

Download the latest software from the website below, and follow the steps listed to update.

(*) Model Expansion: These are sound generator expansions (such as the JUPITER-8) that model Roland’s vintage synthesizers.

The SH-101 Model Expansion comes pre-installed by factory default on the GAIA-2.

Model Expansion Sound Pack

:

These are additional tones that are compatible with each Model Expansion. You can use

these tones when you’ve installed the appropriate Model Expansions.

https://roland.cm/gaia-2_dl

There are two ways to use the Model Expansions and Model Expansion Sound Packs.

Using Roland Cloud Manager

USB MEMORY/

EXT DEVICE port

Roland Cloud Manager

Download

Use your computer to download the tone les from Roland Cloud

to Roland Cloud Manager. Use a USB ash drive to import these

tone les into the GAIA-2.

Using Roland Cloud Connect (sold separately)

Enabling your Roland membership

* You can do this on your computer or with your smartphone.

Log in to Roland Cloud

Log in to Roland Cloud from the link shown below.

https://roland.cm/wc1rc

If you already have an account you’re using for the

GAIA-2, make sure to use that account.

The contents (such as Model Expansions) that you download from

Roland Cloud are linked to your user license. For this reason, if

you perform the following steps with a dierent account without

executing the “Remove License” command on the GAIA-2, you can’t

use the new contents.

For this reason, use caution if you have contents that are already

installed.

Creating a new Roland account

If you don’t have a Roland account, click “Create account” to make

a new account.

Inputting your Roland Cloud Activation Key

Once you login to Roland Cloud, the “Membership Activation”

screen appears.

1. Have the WC-1 Roland Cloud Activation Card ready that

came with the Roland Cloud Connect.

2. Input your Roland Cloud Activation Key, and click “Send”.

One year of Roland Cloud Pro membership is now added to the Roland

account you are logged in with.

* If you’re already enrolled in a membership plan, a license for

one year of Pro membership is added to your existing plan.

* After the one-year membership expires, the sound contents

you’ve installed cannot be accessed. To continue using the

contents, you must renew your membership.

Installing Roland Cloud Connect

1. Use your smartphone to access the website shown below.

https://roland.cm/wc1app

2. Open the “Roland Cloud Connect” product page for the

WC-1 dedicated app.

3. Install the app for iOS or Android.

Using Roland Cloud Connect

1. Turn on the GAIA-2 and connect the WC-1 Wireless

Adapter.

2. Tap the “Roland Cloud Connect” app icon to launch the

app.

* When the app launches, enable the Bluetooth® function and

location data when prompted to do so.

3. Read the “Terms of Use” and tap “Agree”.

4. Input the e-mail address and password you registered for

your Roland account, and tap “Log In”.

* After you’ve logged in to Roland Cloud Connect, you can view

the Roland Cloud Connect Owner’s Manual from “ ” Ó “Show

online manual”.

5. Follow the onscreen instructions for setup.

For details, refer to the Roland Cloud Connect Owner’s Manual.

Once the WC-1 is connected to the network (router) via Wi-Fi, the Wi-Fi

signal strength is shown in the display.

See the Roland Cloud Connect Owner’s Manual for what to do

after the Roland Cloud Connect app home screen is shown.

Authenticating your membership

You can keep using the Model Expansions that you install via

Roland Cloud Connect only if you periodically authenticate your

membership.

Your membership is automatically authenticated when you

connect the WC-1 Wireless Adapter to the GAIA-2.

Connect the GAIA-2 to the WC-1 on a regular basis.

You can check the authentication of your membership as follows.

From [MENU] Ó [UTILITY] Ó [Wi-Fi], the “Limit” value

shows the number of power cycles remaining before

you can no longer use the Model Expansions you’ve

installed.

Once your membership is authenticated, “---” is shown as the

“Limit”.

* Each time you turn the GAIA-2’s power on, this counts as one

cycle.

If you use this instrument 20 consecutive times without

authenticating your membership, the following

message appears onscreen when you turn on the

power.

Connect the WC-1 to authenticate your membership.

If you use this instrument 30 consecutive times without

authenticating your membership, the following

message is shown when you turn on the power, and the

Model Expansions you’ve installed are disabled.

Connect the WC-1 to authenticate your membership.

The tones you imported are reenabled once you authenticate.

* The WIRELESS ADAPTER parameters are shown only under the

following conditions.

¹When the WC-1 is connected

¹When you have installed a Model Expansion or other

contents via membership

Your membership is not authenticated and the Model Expansions

you have installed via Roland Cloud Connect are disabled under

the following conditions.

When you have used the contents for 30 consecutive

power cycles without authenticating your membership

Note that when the WC-1 is not correctly connected to the

network (via router), authentication is not performed even if you

connect the WC-1 to the GAIA-2.

the cuto frequency is cut, producing a more mellow tonal character.

RESONANCE 0–1023 Boosts the region of the lter’s cuto frequency. Higher values produce a

stronger result, giving the sound a distinctively synthesizer-like character.

FILTER SLOPE -12dB, -24dB Selects the type of slope for the low-pass lter.

AMPAMP

AMP LEVEL 0–127 Adjusts the volume of the tone.

AMP TONE -63–0–+63 Adjusts the volume of the tone.

AMP MOD-STEP 0–3 Uses the LFO to vary the AMP volume (tremolo eect). Higher values produce a

greater eect.

ENV2ENV2

ENV2 ATTACK 0–1023 Species the ENV2 Attack time.

ENV2 DECAY 0–1023 Species the ENV2 Decay time.

ENV2 SUSTAIN 0–1023 Species the ENV2 Sustain level.

ENV2 RELEASE 0–1023 Species the ENV2 Release time.

ENV2 KEY FLW

SW OFF, ON Species the ENV2 key follow. If key follow is on, ADR times become longer for

lower notes and shorter for higher notes.

CONTROLCONTROL

Pedal Func

Species the function assigned to the pedal connected to the PEDAL jack.

OFF, MODULATION, HOLD1, EXPRESSION, VOLUME, PAN,

BEND DOWN, BEND UP, HOLD SW, MONO SW,

MFX SW, CHO LEVEL, REV LEVEL, REV SEND, BEND MODE,

ARP SW, ARP SHUFFLE, ARP DURATION, START/STOP, TAP TEMPO, TONE DOWN, TONE UP

Pedal Pole STANDARD,

REVERSE Species the polarity of the pedal connected to the PEDAL jack.

Keyboard

Velocity REAL, FIXED

Species whether the velocity value changes according to the actual strength

of your playing (REAL) or is always a xed velocity value regardless of how you

play (FIXED).

Key Fixed

Velocity 1–127 Species the velocity value when Keyboard Velocity is “FIXED”.

REV/DLY Knob

Mode LEVEL, SEND Switches the functions of the REVERB/DELAY [LEVEL] knob and the [SEND] knob

(+ SHIFT operation).

FX Order

This sets the routing for the MFX, CHO and REV/DLY.

MFX->CHO->REV, MFX->REV->CHO, CHO->MFX->REV, CHO->REV->MFX

REV->MFX->CHO, REV->CHO->MFX

The eect types you can select for MFX are based on the specications of the Model Expansion (This diers from the specications of

the GAIA-2’s original sound module). See the Roland Cloud User’s Guide for details on the MFX types you can select.

The parameters for CHO and REV are the same as for the original GAIA-2 sound module.
