What's going on?

Sorry, i should repeat my question: What stable reproducted bugs (on Windows) exist today in Geist 2 latest version?

Please ask FX Expansion, they are at least still QA testing most of it so they have the list.
Failing that browse the forums to get some idea.

If they fix it (and maintain it), they win!
BFD + Geist = Potentially Two Very Strong Products
BFD + A Geist/Tremor Hybrib = BIG WIN

I can't imagine them ever digging up Tremor from the crypt. When was the last update, about 3 or 4 years ago? I should think they'd have a lot of work to do in order to get it up to scratch. As it stands, it crashes on me all the time. Usually when soloing or muting drums during playback. It's a bit of a mess.

That's such a shame. It's accessible software like this that keeps me interested in music-tech. Geist is like a throwback to the days of Octamed on the Amiga. It does things the the big industry software can't do and at the same time forces you to think outside of the box.

I was messing about thinking about the shortcomings of having no automation and rediscovered the transmod pad trigger feature. Yeah it's not automation but it's easy to fire off filter climbs, falls, etc. using pads. Interesting and enjoyable stuff but after the 3rd crash it stopped being fun.

I, at least, tried until the 12th crash. Still trying every now and then.

I think customers are owed an explanation for this pretty disgusting lack of support..

Anyone still employed at fxpansion outside of BFD development?

Yes, if running standalone, save before adding any effects or cutting and pasting pads.

Quantize: There is hope. Bitwig runs on Linux and has crazy modulators (now equal to those in Geist2) and the latest VST SDK now has Linux support. I want to believe there will be viable alternatives on an alternative OS in the not to distance future.

I hate to agree. This is from a person who was sticking up for FX when they were releasing fixes.

Beta apparently being released this week according to another thread. Fingers crossed that this is a big update.

Too late, i've dumped geist and deleted it from my workflow, i no longer trust fxpansion at all.

What are you using instead?

If looping isn't fixed I'm ditching it completely. I know people that just dabble now and then really don't matter to companies so it's no loss to them. All the best for the future if this is the case.
Just upgraded to Bitwig2 because they are supporting Linux and that's REALLY important for the future. Vst SDK now has Linux support, this is not a coincidence.

Ooh. The plot thickens. I've always loved Bitwig and with ver 2.0 I might finally be able to kick Geist2 to the curb.

Yes I was looking at Bitwig too, looks pretty good but missing a few DAW features as it's still early days. I haven't found out enough about the step sequencer options ..
