Roland has released the new GAIA 2 synthesizer, and it's a good one. The original SH-01 GAIA was an absolute classic - it was in production for 13 years! How worthy a successor is the new GAIA 2? I compare the two synths, show the lineage the new GAIA 2 has inherited from the old GAIA, and demonstrate some of the new features. Then I explain WHY I bought the new GAIA 2!

Going through the collection of synthesizers in my studio, I decided to evaluate all of the different keybeds that each of them have, talk about their feel, speed and other benefits - and then compare them all in a Keybed challenge, to decide which one has the BEST KEYBED in my studio! Which one will it be?

The long-awaited firwamre update for the Novation Summit (and Peak) has arrived, and most of the bugs have been fixed! Along with this update come many new features, including one that I personally requested and was hoping for. I go over what has been fixed, what the new features are, and demonstrate some of the new things that have been added to Summit!

This is the 500 kV Eldorado Substation near Boulder City, Nevada. It shows a three-phase motorized air disconnect switcher attempting to open high voltage being supplied to a large three phase shunt line reactor. The line reactor is the huge gray transformer-like object behind the truck at the far right at the end of the clip. Line reactors are large iron core coils (inductors) which are used to counteract the effects of line capacitance on long Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission lines. Internally, this line reactor has three coils, one for each phase in the three-phase system. Each coil within the reactor can provide 33.3 Million Volt Amperes of compensating inductive reactance (MVAR) at 290 kV between each phase to ground . The power company had previously encountered difficulty interrupting one of the three phases when trying to disconnect the line reactor. The substation maintenance crew set up a special test so that they could videotape the switching event, and they also made arrangements to "kill" the experiment, if necessary, by manually tripping upstream circuit breakers.
