![]() ![]() If you want to use some variation of your loop or MIDI pattern from any engine, you can copy it to another Pattern and change the details there, saving it independently inside the same engine. Every engine contains everything you see in the main window, so loading another engine is like loading a new instance of Geist 2 that can play along with all previous instances. It is similar to loading different instruments in Kontakt. After finding the appropriate one I click Done, saving it in the first engine. Browsing through various loops, tempo synced with the project, hearing them in context. My favorite use of Geist 2 is to put part of my song in a loop, then navigating the Geist 2 browser to my main Loop directory containing all my drum loops sorted into subdirectories. Even if I use real drums and a real drummer for my tracks, there is always some additional rumble in the background, mostly produced through Geist 2. I started with Guru years ago, switched to the first version of Geist and now I’m on Geist 2, and after all these years and various new tools, Geist 2 and all their predecessors remain my secret tools for adding new drum elements to my arrangements. It is definitely a tool that won’t be easily outgrown. ![]() Replacing any loop element with any other sound takes just a second, and this is just one of the many options and possibilities. It also offers an enormous number of drum triggering pads and other additional tools, effects and enormous editing possibilities. It comes with additional engines allowing you to combine loops with other loops or even various different drum machine sequences with other loops, samples or other drum machine sequences containing different drum kits. It is one of the best drum samplers and loop manipulation tools, and one of the most advanced drum machines including a step sequencer, offering a large array of tools for all three of the aforementioned options including a great collection of preprocessed loops and kits and of course also separate kit elements. At least for me, it proves to be the ultimate drum tool for all those “not a real drummer” drum needs. It is not a live drummer, but thankfully it offers absolutely everything else in the drumming world – a Swiss Army knife for all your loops, kits and hits. ![]()
