FXpansion Releases Geist

Geist is FXpansion's sampling drum machine, designed to create evolved, custom beats and grooves.

Geist fuses creative sample-sculpting tools with fast pattern step-sequencing and arrangement. Browse through sounds, slice and assign loops to pads with a single click; sample, resample and build beats in a slick unified environment.

Geist runs as a plug-in and as a standalone application. Export creations as audio clips or load sessions back into the plug-in to resample, reslice, remix, rearrange and transform your beats even further. Geist is an integrated rhythm production sandbox for the studio, the tour bus or the stage, according to the company.
