FXpansion has released Geist2, the latest incarnation of their award-winning Geist sound-sculpting and beat-production system. Available for Mac OS X (10.9 or higher) and Windows (7 SP1 or higher), under 64-bit AAX, 32- and 64-bit Audio Units and VST, and standalone formats. New features in Geist2 include:
- Redesigned, resizable Retina/4k-compatible user interface
- Refined Slicer for slicing longer loops
- Improved integrated browser for managing loops and hits
- TransMod, for automating nearly any Geist2 parameter
- And much, much more!!
Geist2’s powerful sampling and effects engine can twist and transform sounds into something completely different. Layer samples with individual effects and use crossfaded loop point modulation alongside Zynaptiq’s ZTX — a cross-platform technology for high-quality time-stretching, pitch-shifting, and pitch-correction — to create new sounds and textures.
New effects include FXpansion’s own Bloom (creative delay and diffusion effect) and Maul (distortion and tone shaper) algorithms alongside low-fidelity DAC (digital-to-analog convertor) modeling, high-quality reverb, frequency shifting, granular freezing, classic DCAM (Discrete Component Analogue Modeling) compression, filters, drive, and much more.
