Crafting The Sound
THE COMPLETE PAD COLLECTION
GENESIS curates a wide variety of genuinely useable and musical sound sources, spanning a multitude of sonic timbres. This collection encompasses multi sampled instruments with boundary-busting variety. Organic textures are at the forefront, but GENESIS goes further; combining wind & string ensembles, vocals, keyboards and synths (to name just a few) into one complete collection. These initial sounds are just the beginning, with the Sample Logic design team spending countless hours in research and development to push the playback engine to the max. Conjure custom creations with the GENESIS engine, resulting in pads that truly inspire; rich orchestral ensembles, blissful motionscapes, otherworldly synths and incredible sound designed ambiences. Inject motion into your sounds with animations and never-ending variables. Pads are the foundation of great music productions, so let GENESIS motivate and inspire you.
The User Interface
INTERFACE ERGONOMICS
GENESIS makes creative design easy to achieve, instantly generating quick and dirty results on command… but you can also dive deep into the engine’s array of parameter pages to unleash its true power. Four main interface sections (Main, Edit, FX & Master) and a dynamic preset browser mould the two parallel core engines providing an efficient management system for interacting with each core independently. Easily adjust the individual elements of either core and switch back and forth on the fly. Once you’ve set up the detailed instrument options to your taste, flick back to the main view to access only the essential parameters, keeping your workspace streamlined and clutter-free.
MAIN: A central dashboard where you can blend between two pad cores and change any of the major playback aspects of the engine. Not only a home for your instrument, the Main section is a launchpad to access presets, performance parameters, core FX and the master FX chain.
EDIT: Displays an overview of the pad source where you can tweak its sample start, volume, pan, tuning, filtering, LFOs and envelopes.
FX: Tap into a host of powerful hot-swappable audio FX, powered by the latest features of Kontakt’s internal FX engine, all fully integrated into GENESIS. Built-in FX chain presets and predesigned customizable animations make for limitless creative possibilities.
MASTER: Where the cores come together, routing through a customizable mastering FX chain to really make your sounds sparkle. Choose from more than 30 powerful mastering FX to polish up your pads to get them production ready.
INTELLIGENT RANDOMIZATION
Generate your own unique pad evolutions in less than a second! Simple to use, yet gloriously potent, the randomization features of GENESIS will push you to become a more inventive musician. Rapidly tap into trillions of starting point combinations with added creative FX. Simply arm the randomizable parameters that you need, then roll the dice. The interface’s intelligent randomization technology will generate inspiring results on the spot, every time!
