Geist2 - 2.1.2.10

[t.o.t.s.]

Cool there's an update. A little bummed to see it's not supported on Win7. I know Win7 is older but I bought Geist 2 for a Windows 7 machine. If this were a new product or a new version I'd get it... but no support for something that released as supported software is kind of a drag. Unless I'm missing something. Anyway I also know it's a beta... any chance this'll be ok on WIn7 for a final release?

hi there,

I loaded it on windows 8.1 even though it's not supported. Was working great until I tried to save an engine, then Reaper crashed (newest version Reaper at the time of writing..

Hi there

Draging a sample in Studio One from the the browser in Studio one to the pads in Geist immediately crashes the program. I am on Win 10.

Hello, I use Geist2 on Windows 10 using Digital Performer 10 and I cannot save a kit. Geist2 and DAW crash each time I attempt to select save after finding a save location. Just an FYI. Thanks for not abandoning Geist2.

I have exactly the same question. The standalone version of Geist 2 has never worked for me under Win 7 64-bit (previously discussed with FXP via ROLI support), but the VST plugin works OK. Has support for Win 7 now been explicitly removed, or is it a "try it and see what happens" situation?

Same happens in Cubase Pro 10:
If I drag a sample either from the media bay or the browser, Cubase crashes immediately as soon as I drag the sample and float over the GUI. A long failure message appears and I have to close Cubase with the Task Manager.

Windows 10.

With this update can I ask that the sequencer grid be improved so that it is possible to have 1/16 or better divisions please? Pretty much like a fully fledged DAW with adustable snap or snap off.

E2a it would also be nice if you would reconsider Win 7 support. I know that Microsoft are discontinuing support for it but i still use it on 1 of my laptops because I have still perfectly sevicable hardware (firewire sound module) that is not supported by 10

I just got a crash trying to save " Default Preset" after changing the pad levels to be Full*. It crashes in Cubase with a warning and stand alone too.

1 Open Geist2
2 Change pad levels to " Full Level"
3 Save as default preset from the menu.
4 Crash.

Win10 64-1903 OS build 18362.356, 16 GB Ram, Cubase 10 Pro.

Hi folks. On Catalina 10.5 19A573a (the latest public beta), the installer crashes with a couple of errors after doing the unsigned open override from the mounted DMG:

Error:

ALERT!

Unable to automatically locate the InstallScript.
This file should normally be located in
CWD/Installer/InstallScript.fis
Please find the file required.

OK...then prompts with a file open dialog.

I downloaded twice to rule out a bad download, but this seems to be an issue.

Cheers, Scott

Hi Scott, as per our recent mailouts and forum posts, we encourage all users not to update to macOS 10.15 Catalina until we give the all-clear. We've found some issues with our installers that we're working to fix, but until these are updated, we highly recommend not updating to macOS 10.15 Catalina, as in the worst case it will prevent a successful installation.

Ok i can't believe im having to report this bug but here goes..

for years now ive been sub-foldering the Geist2 plugin and editing the SA app plist to simply redirect to VST/Fxpansion/Geist2.vst

so all my fxpansion stuff is easily found in one place and my VST folder is not a big ass mess...

but now this simple thing makes the stand alone crash..with :
