Upright it seems how we feel about BPM is pretty much the consensus. I think Geist is in a pretty small niche has a standalone software sampler/drum machine.looks like it could turn out to be a strong contender though.like you mentioned another thing BPM has going for it is it's incredible sound library but as for the first release of BPM, it was definitely half baked. Geist looks like a better program than BPM as far as a drum machine/sampler but not forgetting that BPM has a synth engine which may be a plus to some. I really wish there was a way to get the sounds from BPM and use them in other applications (without bouncing everything out one sound at a time) My whole Bpm experience has left a very sour taste in my mouth towards Motu. I too own BPM and I'm actually quite frustrated with Motu because they don't allow the 19GB of sounds outside of BPM.I think this is ridiculous! I have the first version of BPM and their slow and very lacking updates are another complaint I have.the first version doesn't even have an 'undo' feature.and they didn't add undo until 1.5. FXpansion had the DCAM guys do the Geist FX and within that they ported DCAM's lovely filters straight into Geist. I just wanted a front end to access those sounds as they are in a proprietary format.īut Cosmic Pimp is on the money here, the editing/sound shaping on Geist is stellar and I'm sure most people here would prefer to dial in their own crisp sound (or the opposite ) as opposed to BPM's instant gratification. I will say the UVI/Universal Sounbank/MOTU sounds are fantastic as they are all 24bit/96khz recordings, very crispy. The BPM interface is prettier but what does that matter? From a flow and function standpoint Geist's GUI is far superior. I have BPM as well as Geist, and Geist definitely comes out on top. At only 249.99 USD I think this is a decent contender against Motu BPM.at it's price point it's definitely a winner.
