Patterns can be arranged into Scenes, and strung together as arrangements manually or in real time, making Geist2 a full-on production environment in its own right – albeit one that still can’t host other plugins. Sequencing of pads is done using a familiar pattern sequencer that stores up to 24 patterns of 1024 steps each and features automation lanes for Volume, Pan, tuning, timing Shift, effects sends and much more. Live sampling is another key feature, with direct-to-pad recording of external signals or Geist2’s own output, and automatic, non-destructive slicing of loops across the pads. Each Engine houses 64 pads (up from the 16 of Geist), and each pad comprises up to eight stacked sample layers, which can be split by velocity, triggered using round robins, or selected at random.Įvery level of the hierarchy (Global, Pad and Layer) can host up to six of Geist2’s built-in effects, and has its own mixer, complete with sends to four Global auxiliary effects returns. These are effectively eight instances of the whole instrument brought together in a single interface, so you can run, say, a drum kit into one, a bass in the next, a set of vocal samples in another, etc. Essentially, Geist2 is an MPC-style pad-based ‘groove DAW’, complete with sampling, sequencing and song construction, that runs standalone or as a VST/AU/AAX plugin.Īt the top of its hierarchical structure (Global) are eight Engines.
