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 a direct-to-pad recording of external signals or Geist2’s 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 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.

For the amount of instrument (and content) you get the pricing is keen too, especially since it could conceivably become the centre of your beat-making setup.įXpansion Geist Crack Free Download Essentially 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. It might look scientific indeed, but it is in some ways but its heart is still that of a sampling groovebox and a cool instrument for making beats and patterns. But despite the incredible depth of features on offer for sampling, editing, manipulating, processing, sequencing, and modulating audio, it still retains a core feeling of the groove. There are many smaller features I simply haven’t had space to go into. I have no association with Fxpansion but I was excited to share this its been a long time wanting a tool like this.Fxpansion Geist v2.2.0.6.5 Crack Free DownloadįXpansion Geist Crack is a remarkably powerful music production tool. You can't simply play it in and allow Geist 2 to sample it onto a pad the way Omnisphere allows. I mentioned I'm not a good player with Omnisphere I can use their "Live" mode to sample in things that are quantized for me, more fun, or I can use Ableton Live Intro's quantize record setting, with the drawback that you have to then play back the quantized clip. But I have dozens of other nice synths to sample bits and hits from, but the chore of not being a very good player and turning on and off clips in Ableton, although more handy than a traditional DAW, makes one fight to come up with ideas that may be spread over many scenes and clips. Since I have a lot of their acoustic and percussion kits and hits I sample them into Geist, and now Geist 2, and they sound very accurate, identical to the original 24 bit sample, in Geist 2. (Fxpansion has a more realistic virtual drum plugin called BFD3, which I also own. And experiment, much in the way one would in Ableton, but for me the process is so much quicker and more fun and exciting in Geist since there is instant gratification since the layout is more fluid and visible 64 pads (= 1 "kit") and 24 patterns (1024 steps long) per engine, just categorize stuff into the 8 engines, save and load patterns and kits, and build up a library of coolness. Anyway, another feature that is outstanding is the ease with which one can lay out sequences using a mouse or real time recording. And the sound will be identical.īut basically what makes Geist 2 so unique. If one has a sequencer then with Geist 2 one use a threshold trigger mode to begin sampling the next thing played on that sequencer, as an example. Geist offers a fine resolution of groove positioning (unlike Nerve) in addition to the basic swing control that is effective for every event you create.īut basically what makes Geist 2 so unique is that the samples sound fantastic and the playback options all work - you can sample something you want to explore rhythmically (by repeating it in rhythm - duh). Patterns can be 1024 steps, and steps can be assigned to a variety of host beat divisions. Geist 2 has 64 pads per engine, 8 engines with the ability to do tempo multiples and vary swing settings amongst engines, it lets one input using a grid, then convert to a different grid on the same pattern. I just had the most productive 4 hour composing experience to date.

I just upgraded my Geist, originally based on their produce Guru.

For those into songwriting, since I don't play drums or have a studio or living space into which I can bring drummers, getting my ideas down has been a tough process.
