The future of Geist 2

I am just trying out Geist 2, how I hate 'flat' design - Geist 1 was so much more attractive than this grey, flat, dull mess. Is it just my PC or do other people see blurry fonts throughout Geist 2? Why did they make the GUI less attractive than Geist 1? Dark grey text on dark grey buttons, I don't have a monochrome monitor. Look at how beautiful Groove Agent looks in the post above, compared to this minimalist bullshit we see everywhere nowadays.
What are the included loops like in Groove Agent 5 compared to Geist 2?

Geist is a great drum and percussion plugin and it would be a shame if it was caught up in all of the financial and legal wrangling and died an unnatural death
No auto tune...

Synth Squad is dead as a group. They all went solo, except for Amber, who’s in rehab.

I think it's fair to say at this point that Geist, and the rest of the FXpansion products that Roli took control of, are dead. Roli's post-bankrupcy focus is said to be on education, there's really no way that geist fits into that view. I am a little surprised that they didn't see the restructuring as a chance to try and sell the rest of the fxpansion products on to inmusic & others, or maybe they did but they were just nonproductive and kept quiet.

inMusic own Akai and the MPC range - Geist2 wouldn't really fit into the overall vision is my feeling. I do hope it finds a home.

Would be nice if Image Line picked up Geist, but isn't that kind of what FL Studio does already (beats/sequencing)? Would adding Geist into the product lineup be an add to value? I honestly have no idea. Never used it.vertibration wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 6:34 pm y'all know Angus Hewlett went to Image Line right? He is now their Chief Technology Officer.

I would think Geist is dead weight now, but Im sure Angus will contribute some amazing things to Image Line. FL21 is supposed to be a major update, I would think Angus has plans on new plugins for FL Studio. He may even incorporate features from Geist in the FL Studio channel rack sequencer....who knows really. He has a shit ton of knowledge about synthesis at his disposal

You probably know better than anyone else speculating here, but why wouldn't Geist2 be a good fit for inMusic's AIR Music Technology brand? Considering Drum Synth 500 and Transfuser 2, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch.Amberience wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:27 am inMusic own Akai and the MPC range - Geist2 wouldn't really fit into the overall vision is my feeling.

Would that "Soul" thing I read about have been an overhaul of Geist which was abandoned during the <cough> "refocusing" or is that name a coincidence?Amberience wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:27 am inMusic own Akai and the MPC range - Geist2 wouldn't really fit into the overall vision is my feeling.

Has finding a new home for Geist been tried -and apparently failed- in the past - and which kind of company would you -personally- find to be a good fit?

Soul is (more or less) an audio-focussed programming language, so it's not something that's going to replace Geist.epiphaneia wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 10:40 am

Yeah as has been said, SOUL is nothing to do with Geist; it's a programming language written by the guy who invented JUCE.epiphaneia wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 10:40 amWould that "Soul" thing I read about have been an overhaul of Geist which was abandoned during the <cough> "refocusing" or is that name a coincidence?Amberience wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 7:27 am inMusic own Akai and the MPC range - Geist2 wouldn't really fit into the overall vision is my feeling.

Can't speak to any of the other stuff.
