Rob Papen GO-2 X Synth - Downloadable Product

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!

With Go2-X you can now draw in your own waveforms and morph between them. Rob Papen has expanded the ARP section 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!

Specifications

Presets / Folder & Global Section
Over 1800 Presets sorted in Bank Folders
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
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, FM, PM, AM, 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)
SMOD (Symmetry Modulation) Amount
Symmetry modulation controls how much the symmetry position changes over time.
SMOD (Symmetry Modulation) SpeedSmod Speed sets the frequency of the LFO that changes the symmetry position.
Additional Spectrum waveforms

XY Section
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).

Filter Section
Cutoff Frequency

20 Filter Types included two Comb Filter types and Ring Modulation
Cutoff Frequency Modulation: Velocity (Vel), Key Track, Modulation Wheel, Envelope (Env)
Filter Envelope with Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release, and reverse control. (Graphic mode or dial mode option selectable in the Play mode section)

Port Amount
Unison and chords
In Unison mode, Go2-X plays up-to 4 unison voices, for each note played. This works at an Oscillator / Filter level, so you can still play up to 16 voices in poly mode.
Unison modes and chords:
Unison 2-4
2 Octave
3 Octave
2 SP
Major to Diminished 7th chord (3voice and 4 voice)
Unison Detune Amount
Unison Stereo Spread
Pitch Bend Up / Down (The unit used is semi-tones)
Drift On/Off When this is on the oscillator has 'analog drift' i.e. it has a very slight & slow drifting of tuning over time.
Exp Env (Selects if the envelope's decay/release stages are linear or have an exponential characteristic).

WAVE section
Two user waves can be created in each Go2-X preset
Modes to create are Draw or Partials with the option of 'exponential'
Draw, Line, and Erase options
Shaper option available with different modes
Additional control options and the option to save and load a waveform
