Each pad has it’s own track or sequencer in the step sequencer window.Įach engine has it’s own grooves, as well as 6 insert fx. It has 8 engines, which each have 16 pads. This is an exiting development as many consider (myself included) FXpansion GURU to be the grandaddy to all the virtual groove box, 16 pad wearing, sample slicing products we see on the market today. Geist is a drum sequencer/groove machine and sampler from FXpansion. So what’s up with Geist? What is it all about? Also remember you can download the demo and check it for yourself on their website: FXpansion Geist They seemed to go for more hands on creation and moved away from some of the “auto generated” or “push button” concepts and procedures (though many found great ways to use those features)Īnyway, let’s get into it and check it out.

When I first started my switch from hardware to software FXpansion GURU was the first software I turned to.
