The FPGA section provides a comprehensive library of mixing and mastering effects, including emulated guitar-cabs, studio-grade equalizers, vintage-style compression units and even the renowned Auraverb reverb algorithm. The advantage of using the Field Programmable Gate Array, ensures the lowest audio latency, even when creating multiple mixes. The result is premium-grade effects that will bring out the best from your input sources, from vocals to instruments.

Design & Expansion Options

The sleek yet robust design of the Goliath HD interface features an integrated Touchscreen front-panel which has been enhanced and upgraded for performance value. You can access all the major parameters and controls directly from the front-panel, improving your workflow and letting you make changes on the fly. From real-time effects processing, to routing and mixing options; the Goliath HD’s touchscreen front-panel gives you access to every possible parameter.
