Sample-based step sequencer and drum machine

Geist is an advanced step-sequencer and sample-based drum machine realised in software. It's intended to be an ergonomic way to effortlessly build grooves and beats. While it includes an extensive set of advanced integrated features, its layout is faster and more intuitive than the process of accomplishing similar tasks within a complex DAW with too many usually unnecessary features and options that intrude upon the creative process.

Geist lets you cut up loops and breaks and send them to pads with a single click! It delivers the flexibility you crave for really involved slicing operations, and an intelligent classify system to build kits from loops in seconds.

Geist can resample its output or sample external input. Record multiple takes and exact loops, sending them to the slicer...

Geist is an advanced step-sequencer and sample-based drum machine realised in software. It's intended to be an ergonomic way to effortlessly build grooves and beats. While it includes an extensive set of advanced integrated features, its layout is faster and more intuitive than the process of accomplishing similar tasks within a complex DAW with too many usually unnecessary features and options that intrude upon the creative process.

Geist lets you cut up loops and breaks and send them to pads with a single click! It delivers the flexibility you crave for really involved slicing operations, and an intelligent classify system to build kits from loops in seconds.

Geist can resample its output or sample external input. Record multiple takes and exact loops, sending them to the slicer with a few clicks. Whether you dig in crates or play synths, guitar or bass, Geist lets you inject sounds onto pads fast.

Geist's sound sculpting tools include stunning FX with DCAM modelled compression, filtering and drive. The pattern sequencer includes step-automation for parameters, real-time recording and retro capture, for laying down takes without pressing record first!

An integrated song mode lets you build complex, evolving pattern arrangements in a musical and fun way. Record pattern and scene triggers live, draw and edit parts directly on the linear timeline, or just jam away and capture your performance afterwards.

Geist's browser is built to make it faster than ever to find your sounds! Set up favourites, save searches, compare files from different folders in shortlists. You can even send previews through a discrete output, perfect for building beats in live scenarios.

With full MIDI and audio export, a variety of plugin formats and a standalone version, Geist is a complete rhythm production environment, primed to streamline your workflow and reawaken your love of making beats!

FXpansion Geist v 1.0.1.3 Dec 13, 2010 MacOS X Intel
  • You can now load, save, and LOCK midi mappings.

  • Triggering empty scenes now has the effect of turning all engine pattern powers off, resulting in silence (plus delays+reverb tails of course!)

  • Extracting swing templates from patterns now works.

  • You can now select a portion of a gated note, and it will select the entire gated note.
