It’s been so long since Geist 2 came out, but nothing touches it. People complain about the GUI, and it’s also buggy at times. But, as far as functionality goes, it’s untouchable.
If you doubt me, go check out the modulation system. It’s strange because it seems like a pretty obvious choice to do it this way, but nobody’s done it. Also, the layering functionality is executed perfectly. And the macros. I have battery which is more reliable, but it doesn’t even come close to Geist in these regards.
Something simple like being able to layer a bunch of samples and precisely offset a start delay that is also modulated by a random amount, can have really fantastically organic results. Combine that with how easy it is to route velocity to a bunch of parameters, and you really have something special.
I feel like TAL drum is coming close, but there are some things it lacks or does in a slightly more awkward way. It’s a terrible shame thar Roli put this plug-in to bed. I will never forgive them or purchase anything from them lol.
If Geist didn’t crash occasionally and have some annoying stuff that should be addressed, I wouldn’t even care.
So, somebody should just shamelessly copy Geist IMO. That is all.
