In this video I do a full review on the new Roland GAIA 2. I explain and demonstrate all the different features, talk about what I like and dislike about the synth, and give you my overall verdict.

UPDATE: An update to the motional pad problem I demonstrate in this video: feedback from Roland support is that this is a defect, and Sweetwater is overnighting me a replacement unit. So if you have this same "Calibrating Pad..." problem on your unit, make sure you contact your retailer to exchange it for a non-defective one.
