Geist

Geist is an awesome sampler and slicer and for dance producers the sounds are like heaven in a folder.

it integrates very well with my mpc 18 and could also probably do some damage as far as hip hop goes.

As for acoustic drum kits unfortunately it doesn't do well unless you get the expander for acoustic drums.

the seqencer and pattern builder are awesome so it is defintley a great buy.

i would also really buy it for slicing because the gui centered around the slicer is very easy to use (yes slicex was confusing to me)

For me it was a HHHHHHUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE step up from tremor.
