The Yamaha GO46 is a mobile audio solution that features high quality mic preamps and world-class MIDI and audio recording software in a compact package that can be carried and used virtually anywhere.

The GO46 was designed from the outset to be portable. The body is made from diecast aluminum, which is light yet exceptionally rugged. The GO46 delivers 4-in/6-out multi-channel audio by a simple one-cable FireWire™ connection to your computer. Included with the device is an ASIO driver for near-zero audio latency. The GO46 features Mic/line input combo jacks with independent phantom power. In other words, you can use a condenser microphone on channel 1 with phantom power to capture the delicate sounds of a vocal while simultaneously recording an electric/acoustic guitar plugged into channel 2. The GO46 has two rear-panel insert terminals for adding external effects such as reverb, choruses, compressors and limiters. The unit also has digital input/output with S/P DIF optical connectors and built-in MIDI IN/OUT terminals for connecting MIDI keyboards and external MIDI tone generators.

In addition to Steinberg’s Cubase LE audio/MIDI sequencer, the GO46 package includes the VST plug-in instruments Groove Agent SE, which generates drum patterns, and HALion SE, a virtual sampler that can be played via MIDI keyboard. The GO46 is a full-featured yet exceptionally easy-to-use professional music/sound production system of a mobile Firewire audio i/o, up to 48 tracks of audio recording, 64 tracks of MIDI sequencing plus VST Instruments and effects —all in one package.
