The power of Synclavier, on the Go!

Go! runs on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, so you can take your sound design studio anywhere. The creative possibilities are endless now you have the awesome power of a Synclavier in a handheld device. What’s more, Go! comes with a fully-functional AUv3 unit for integration to GarageBand or your favourite iPad DAW.

Go! comes packed with preset timbres — over 1000 of them: 16 original “Factory” preset libraries” and 3 modern-sounding “Artist” preset libraries from some of the best sound designers working today. It also comes with over 100 lossless-quality samples or “soundfiles” for use in your productions.

Go! understands MPE, taking the expression of the sound to a whole new level when Go! is used with interfaces such as the Roli Seaboard, Jamstik, Linnstrument, to name a few.

Synclavier Go! supports keyboard modes such as portamento, arpeggiate, mono/poly triggering, and many more, all saveable to individual timbres. Add texture to your sounds with Chorus, Tremolo, Vibrato, Panning. You also have full control of over 24 harmonics when you want to go deep, as well as the ability to quickly change waveshapes from Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp, or Impulse.

Go! has twelve partials, so you can layer luscious sounds; and unlimited frames, so sounds can evolve over time. Create something you like the sound of? Simply save it to one of your custom libraries, on the device or in an iCloud folder.

“Additive FM Synthesis was never more fun. The intuitive touch-screen interface is a joy to use. It’s a snip to transform simple sine waves into grungy brass attacks, swishy FM chimes, or charismatic string sounds. Every conceivable parameter is tweakable.”

How do I connect xyz to Synclavier Go!?

Please refer to our connection guide.

Can I get Synclavier Go! in a language besides English?

We are currently working on translations, so we can release Go! in several mainstream languages. The manual on our support page can be converted with the language widget at the bottom of the page.

Does Synclavier Go! support iCloud storage?

Yes, you can elect to save custom timbres and mixes in an iCloud folder (workspace) or iTunes File Sharing workspace.

Will you be adding sampling to Go!?

Yes, we’ve implemented soundfiles functionality as free update for Go! users.

Will there be an android version?

We have no plans to develop an android version.

Will you support AUv3?

We’ve just completed our Go! AUv3 client. Now, if you download Go! you will also get the AUv3 client install.

The Timbre screen looks overwhelming with so many buttons. Is it hard to learn?

We have spent a lot of time on creating in-app documentation. You can switch to this tour at any time and learn to master one panel at a time. Once you’ve summited the Synclavier learning curve, using the buttons and knob of the user interface becomes second nature, and sound design is rapid and satisfying.
