Drum Machine VSTs (Geist2, Microtonic) 2023-09-29T11:11:58+00:00 Hi all and thanks in advance for your sharing of knowledge. As someone who has only recently gotten into this game, the depth and volume of information available here as a resource is amazing. I've played music since I was a child (guitar and piano) but only in the last few months have I discovered the rabbit hole of recording, DAWs, VSTs and so on. I have a lot of songs in skeletal acoustic structure that I wish to flesh into something fuller and truer to the visions I have for them in my head. Which brings me to this object of discussion. I research things extensively generally speaking. And I'm quite particular about what I'm looking for in a drum machine VST. I need something that complements the rest of the instruments whilst also being the fundamental beat of the whole thing. I suppose that's drumming in a nutshell. But I have very specific sounds in my head I want to manifest through a VST. I messed around with Microtonic last night and after realising how it works over a few hours, it really is very intuitive as a lot of you have said in previous threads. I think I will have a lot of fun with it and it will be conducive to my objectives. However, I was very dismayed to find out that Geist2 is discontinued and unavailable. That to me seems to be the software closest to what I am looking for in a drum machine VST. I would like something I can chop samples up in, layer samples, sequence them (manually or randomly) and create beats out of them. It seems like Geist2 was the closest thing on the market that could arrange for that. So, I guess I'm saying... 50% of my needs have been met by Microtonic. The other 50% can be met with something like Geist2. What would be the next best alternative to Geist2? Or is there any way to procure a legacy edition of Geist2? I'm currently operating on a Macbook running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6. Pynchonian https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=624416
