What's going on?

Update would be nice!
Gui default resizing and patternnudgewraparoundproblem are of my interested besides some other ones.

Still wondering when will see new beta or version. Stuff that is broke from july 20th post almost at 70 days since bugs reported.

I'd also love an update..

I still haven't figured out how to have my mappings recalled on startup, despite saving 'default' presets in all kinds of places (app support etc) on Mac OSX.

I'd really appreciate a step by step of the file name and location in mac osx to get them recalled on startup, because it either simply doesnt work or I'm too thick to suss it out...

Ofcourse you can load mappings from Open Others in the File menu, but i guess you knew that.
Yes a personalized template would be nice, but i just saved a preset with the bindingfile in a recalled state and have to open that preset when i start.
I only all the time forget to save it as a copy.
(which isnt even possible, is it anyways?)

Last update was July 14th. Its October 3rd!
Plus havent seen forum replies by the team in a long time either.

From Roli website;

"In the meantime check out BFD3, Strobe2, Geist2, and other FXpansion products — which are sold and supported exactly as they were before."

my thoughts exactly. it's orphansville around here.

STill wondering when were gonna see updated version going on three and a half months since last update. WOuld love to have beta to try. I have given up on geist 2 was waiting to finish my maschine 2 template. But have been waiting for bug fixes.

I had to go back to using Geist 1 because Geist 2 crashes Ableton Live while cycling through the sounds. Its not as stable to use. A few people kept asking me about it but I can't really tell them because we're all Ableton users and its crash heavy..

yesterday another crash while swapping pads. :/

Hi guys,

We *are* working on Geist2. We have fixed a lot of outstanding problems already and are hoping to push out an update soon. Bear with us!

[loekazz]

Well, THAT is some great news!

Any idea of release date?

I'm really loving the concept of Geist, It's so intuitive and a great tool to use.
But indeed still some things need to be fixed or basic things to be added (triplets!). I hope it will be more stable and -if possible- a little lighter on the CPU...

Thanks for working on the update, looking forward to it.

That is great to hear

It does get difficult when there's all these bug fixes and outstanding feature requests laying dormant and unanswered. I think when bugs and important feature requests have been left for so long on some of your other products it has started to make your users nervous that it's an ongoing trend!

Can't open presets saved in VST version (not engine, but saved state of whole plugin)...just goes endlessly searcing for samples and then crashes. Also, midi mapping still not working for many parameters. 4 months FXP....please fix!

@everybody who's been asking for bug fixes / updates - has FXPansion delivered at all? I'm in the market for a software drum sampler for both live performance + studio production, and as a fan of Strobe 2 decided to look into Geist 2. Was pretty sold on it while looking through features, until I came across these forums. Seems like the team isn't doing a great job of delivering a non-buggy product, and that CPU-usage is a concern (especially in the context of a live environment).

I'd love to know your honest thoughts on whether or not you'd recommend this software, and how FXPansion has been in regards to keeping Geist 2 usable.
