Geist2 is available to purchase and download directly from FXpansion for $199.00 USD/€179.00 EUR/£139.00 GBP from the FXpansion website, linked below. Existing Geist owners can upgrade to Geist2 for $99.00 USD/€89.00 EUR/£69.00 GBP.Geist 1 and Geist 2 remain incredibly popular with beatmakers and producers but since the purchase of FXpansion by Seaboard manufacturer ROLI back in 2016 there’s been a lot of doubt and confusion about the viability of Geist as a product. New effects also include FXpansion’s own Bloom (creative delay and diffusion effect) and Maul (distortion and tone shaper) algorithms alongside low fidelity DAC (Digital to Audio Convertor) modelling, highquality reverb, frequency shifting, granular freezing, classic DCAM (Discrete Component Analogue Modelling) compression, filters, drive, and much more. Layer samples with individual effects and use crossfaded loop point modulation alongside Zynaptiq’s ZTX - a crossplatform technology for high quality timestretching, pitchshifting, and pitch correction - to create new sounds and textures. Event probability, microtiming shifts for ‘off-the-grid’ organic grooves, and parameter step-automation for adding new dimensions to beats are also available.įinally, Geist2’s powerful sampling and effects engine can twist and transform sounds into something completely different. When capturing samples with Geist2’s Sampler, whether working with multiple loops or thresholdbased single hits, the integrated browser and an ability to record directly to the pads provides an environment for creating custom kits to hit that perfect beat!Īutomation of almost any parameter is possible with interacting modulators like LFOs, stepsequencers, envelopes, maths functions, and macro controls to morph and evolve sounds in new and creative ways.Įach of Geist2’s eight engines feature a 64-track sequencer with 24 pattern memories - all with individual track lengths to create evolving polyrhythmic patterns.
For slicing longer loops, the refined Slicer combined with up to 64 pads allows for fast, nondestructive chopping of beats with automatic pattern extraction - easily create custom loops, thanks to drag-and-drop MIDI and audio export functionality.
