Product Description

• In the Rob Papen world of synthesis
• there was one type of synthesizer missing… A synthesizer that has all of its controls and features available visually all at once.  So
• the original Go2 was developed
• and it instantly became very popular and used by many musicians and composers in their productions. Now it has been upgraded to Go2-X and it has been enhanced with even more useful features and enhancements to what already was the ‘Go To’ synthesizer! As you might know
• the current Rob Papen collection contains synthesizers that contain many features and types of synthesis which sometimes can be daunting to the average user. Still
• Rob Papen thought that it would be awesome to add even more features to Go2 without losing its powerful concept and yes
• they added in the X factor!  With Go2-X you can now draw in your own waveforms and morph between them. The ARP section has been expanded with ratcheting and the Magic Mode (from BIT-2).  You now have the option to use the Stereo Delay and Reverb at the same time... and many more cool new features and presets! Yes
• Go2-X has many new features that make sure that it will boldly ‘Go2’ where no other synth in this category went before…… Features Presets / Folder & Global Section Over 1600 Presets sorted in Bank Folders Additionally
• there is a ‘Quick Browser’
• ‘Favorites’
• and ‘Star’ system in the bank manager. ECS (External MIDI Control) Go2-X can modify its sound parameters dynamically in response to MIDI messages received from an external controller. These settings can be saved and loaded from your HardDisk. Help which opens up Go2-X's PDF manual. Bank Manager Go2-X Logo Clicking on the Go2-X logo takes you to the Back Panel. The Back Panel shows global settings and infrequently accessed controls. Control menu available in the upper right corner for global settings Animated Dials with the option to disable. Oscillator Section: The heart of Go2-X is the morph oscillator
• this oscillator allows you to morph (using Go2-X's various morph modes) between two different waveforms. First and Second Waveforms (Wave-A and Wave-B) Oscillator Morph Mode. The Morph Mode menu determines how the oscillator combines the two waves First Wave and Second Wave. The Morph modes are Mix
• Morph
• Low Partial Morph
• High Partial Morph
• Odd/Even Partial Morph
• Even/Odd Partial Morph
• Table Interpolate
• Table Split
• Table Combine
• Ring Mod
• WaveShaper
• and Range. Spread (creates a stacked 2 oscillator sound) Sub. The sub-oscillator knob lets you select two different waveforms being sinus or square.. Sym (Sym controls the symmetry of the oscillator waveform) (Symmetry Modulation) Amount Symmetry modulation controls how much the symmetry position changes over time.  (Symmetry Modulation) SpeedSmod Speed sets the frequency of the LFO that changes the symmetry position. Additional Spectrum waveforms XY Section: The XY pad is a combination of a live
• interactive control
• and also an automated programmable modulation source XY Controls Edit (While in Edit mode
• you can move the path's points around and thus edit the XY Path manually). Play Speed  (The Play Speed control alters the playback speed of the recorded XY Path) Modes: Poly
• Free or Mono Loop modes: off
• loop or bidirectional loop Sync To (Tempo sync the XY movement) Points (from 2 points up to 128 points) Space Quantize (Space Quantize restricts the points in the current path to a set of grid lines) Time Quantize (Time Quantize sets the update frequency of the XY position) Draw Osc (the XY screen also shows the current oscillator output if you like) Commands (XY Menu with the many additional options like the preset path).
