Synclavier Go! App and Plugin vs When Can We Rehearse

“Nothing sounds quite like a Synclavier” World-class iOS synthesis has arrived! The Synclavier® II helped shape a generation of popular music and film soundtracks. Now this beast of an emotional vintage synthesizer has been incarnated on iOS using much of the core DSP code from the original and keeping the authentic red-button interface that is both deep and immediate. Not only retro, but decidedly modern: fully compatible with MPE, Ableton Link, Audiobus 3, MIDI. And the included AUv3 client can run inside of iOS DAWs such as GarageBand, NanoStudio 2, BeatMaker 3, Cubasis 3, Auria Pro. The powerful Synclavier DSP Engine affords 12 Partial Timbres, Timbre Frames, Samples, FM-Synthesis and Additive-Synthesis methodologies. It’s so easy to create playable rich string sounds, fantastic Moog esque drones, Prophet like pads, crazy FM brass noises, or Roland 808 style drum hits. It’s a sound designer’s dream and a synthesist’s wonderland. But there’s more! We’ve added a ton of stuff. The original hardware was 8-bit. With newer technology, we can pack more fidelity and more features in this already awesome synth. MPE compatibility, seven timbre “quick-change” character buttons, 16-track mixing console, crazy-good Artist Preset Libraries from world-renowned sound designers, and lots more. The Synclavier was always a versatile attention-getting instrument, but now it’s a powerhouse synth to be reckoned with!

Synclavier Go! is compatible with all iPad, iPhone and iPad Touch models that can operate iOS 9.0 or later. Soundfile playback and AUv3 compatibility require iOS11 or later. The latest iOS version that is compatible with your device is recommended. The Synclavier® knob is as unique today as it was revolutionary at the time of its introduction. The knob is a rate-of-change controller; close your eyes and let your right-brain kick in to the sound design process. Forget the numbers; forget the digits; let your ears guide the process. Sound design with a touch-screen and Synclavier® knob is as different from a mouse-driven GUI as, well, Synclavier® was different than the Fairlight CMI! The Synclavier Knob is an exciting and authentic option, but is not required for Synclavier Go! since a virtual knob is provided in the app. Note to Parents: Synclavier Go! is as educational as it is historic and authentic. This app can introduce your teenager to the technical aspects of sound and sound design in a fun and informative environment.

Finding a rehearsal time in the group chat is somehow harder than writing the songs. When Can We Rehearse fixes that in about a minute. HOW IT WORKS 1. Propose a few times, or something loose like "any evening next week" 2. Share one link with the band 3. Everyone taps Available, Maybe, or Can't for each time. Bandmates don't need the app or an account, they just tap the link 4. Results rank themselves live: times everyone can make, times that work with some juggling, near misses 5. Pick the winner. Everyone gets add-to-calendar, opted-in bandmates get an email, and the rehearsal location rides along on the invite THE APP KEEPS YOU ON TOP OF IT - Your polls, on this device: every poll you create or open, with live counts, no account needed - Optional notifications when a bandmate answers, when everyone's in, and the day before rehearsal. Choose all of them, only the big ones, or none - Add the rehearsal straight to your iPhone calendar, location included - One tap to share the poll link into the group chat THE MAYBE MATTERS Most schedulers treat availability as yes or no. Bands live in the maybe. "I could move my shift" is a real answer, so it gets its own button. FREE FOR THE MUSIC COMMUNITY The core rehearsal flow is free, permanently. No accounts, no passwords, no ads, no selling your data. Your bandmates give a first name and a few taps. Polls delete themselves after 90 days. BUILT FOR Bands, choirs, orchestras, worship teams, music teachers, chamber groups, cover bands, and anyone who has ever typed "so does Thursday work or not" into a group chat.
