Your most-needed sounds, in a simple format
Onboard the GSi Gemini you'll find 128 presets based on the most-used keyboard sounds, driven by dual DSP chips and employing 15 different synthesis engines — plus 11 effects generators per DSP chip. Beyond lifelike emulations of pianos, organs, and even trumpet, the Gemini Rack's GVA-1 Virtual Analog synth and GSP-01 Adaptive Sample Player provide unlimited creative potential. The GVA-1 synth engine is designed as a combination of Prophet 5 and PolySix synths, with two syncable oscillators, two filters, feedback input, three envelopes, two LFOs, and four modulation matrices. The GSP-01 sample player loads custom GSi sample sets and adapts its controls and polyphony to the types of samples loaded for maximum playability.

While the hands-on operation of the GSi Gemini Rack sound module couldn't be much simpler, you can access deeper parameters and customize your sounds easily with the web-based editor software. The Gemini Rack module is even equipped with an internal Wi-Fi antenna, so you can manage everything wirelessly from your tablet or smartphone. You can make some tweaks via the web-based editor on your phone, then upload those changes wirelessly to the Gemini.
Ready for your favorite controller
Dual MIDI inputs allow you to connect two controllers to the Gemini, one for each DSP section. You can also connect a USB MIDI controller directly to the Gemini Rack. Whatever your choice of controller, custom MIDI mapping allows you to customize your controls however you'd like. We've worked with a lot of sound modules at Sweetwater over the years, and we can confirm the GSi Gemini Rack is one of the most user-friendly modules available.
