Dive through a universe of possibilities with the expressive 61-note keyboard, from acoustic pianos and orchestral instruments to modern synthesizers, guitars, drums, and more.
Melodic MagicWhen you find a sound that excites you, experiment by creating melodies and arpeggios over automatic musical backing. GO:KEYS 5 is filled with ready-made chord progressions in different styles, all with the immersive sound of a finished record. You can also craft your own chord sequences, and you can easily find the progressions for your favourite songs online or with dedicated apps.
Mix and MatchAs a chord progression loops, discover your own performance style by remixing sounds. Change things up with four variations. Drop parts in and out, including the drums, bass, and backing chords. Switch instruments for a different vibe and create dynamic energy by processing the entire sound with filtering, lo-fi tones, beat slicing, and other immersive performance effects.
