Kevin Maloney provides a thorough walk-through of the features of Synclavier Go! at Synthplex 2019. Kevin was the first product specialist in the LA office from 1984 and his knowledge and experience of using the instrument is impressive.

Synclavier Go! is a recreation of the famous Synclavier II product engineered by co-inventor Cameron Warner Jones using the original codebase. Go! takes this incredibly capable instrument even further, adding more partials, voices, and bit-depth, as well as many exciting features, and taking advantage of the responsive touch screen of an apple iPad.
