Foreword

1. Reader Warning

Throughout this document, the triangle icon encasing an exclamation mark highlights important information concerning the correct use of GENOME alongside cautionary information pertaining to any peripheral equipment used in conjunction with GENOME.

2. Correct Use of a Loadbox

GENOME may be used either with real-time or prerecorded audio sourced from DI instrument feeds, guitar/bass preamplifiers, hardware amp simulators (Including ReVolt Guitar, ReVolt Bass, OPUS), and/or a tube/solid state amplifier in conjunction with a suitable loadbox (Including Two notes’ Torpedo Captor, Torpedo Captor X, Torpedo Reload). While using a DI instrument feed or the line output of a preamplifier / amp simulator is comparatively safe and simple to administer, using the speaker output of a tube amplifier in conjunction with a loadbox requires caution.

2.1 What is a Loadbox

In routine use of a tube amplifier, it is highly recommended that the power output of the amplifier is always connected to a speaker cabinet or suitable load prior to powering on. The speaker cabinet (rated at either 4-, 8- or 16-Ohms) must always be connected to the corresponding speaker output of the amplifier. Neglecting to do so can lead to partial or complete destruction of the output stage of the tube amplifier.

The majority of tube amplifier designers protect their products with fuses or alternative suitable protection systems; however, some amplifiers are still insufficiently protected. It is therefore impossible to predict the behavior of all amplifiers on the market in the instance load (be it a speaker cabinet or a loadbox).

The electronic term that describes the speaker cabinet with respect to the amplifier is the “load”: we say the cabinet “loads” the amplifier. The term “loadbox” is used to describe any product that provides a load to the amplifier. The main parameter of the loadbox is its impedance, expressed in Ohms. Impedance matching between a loadbox and amplifier is paramount and as such should be actioned wherever possible (i.e. an 8-Ohm loadbox must be plugged to the 8-Ohm speaker output of the related amplifier).

The power sent by the amplifier to the corresponding load is turned into heat; as such, it is vital to refer to the cooling recommendations stipulated in the manual of the respective load; overheating may cause damage, both to the loadbox and to the amplifier.

Always connect the speaker out of your tube amplifier to an appropriate load (be it a speaker cabinet or suitably rated loadbox).

2.2 Setting the Output Volume for an Amplifier

The correct use of an amplifier with a loadbox requires caution. Due to the inherent silence while playing through an amplifier with a loadbox, it is easier to accidentally run the amplifier beyond the reasonable limits set by the manufacturer - more so than when using a speaker cabinet in conjunction with the amplifier. This can lead to faster tube wear and, in some cases, damage to the amplifier or loadbox.

When testing the amplifier at high volume, monitor the color of the tubes and the general state of the amplifier. Red-glowing tubes or any appearance of smoke are signs of a problem that may result in partial or complete destruction of the amplifier.

Please note that the “sweet spot” - the optimal level of the amplifier’s power amp volume - is rarely obtained at maximum volume. In addition, the volume control of the amplifier is usually logarithmic, meaning the volume increases quickly within the first half of the accompanying potentiometer’s rotation, reaching its maximum at 12 o’clock, Therefore, maximum volume of the amplifier can be reached even if the volume potentiometer is not set at its maximum value.

When reaching the maximum value of the aforementioned output potentiometer, you will likely hear considerable distortion. In fact, most amplifiers sound comparatively poor at maximum volume. In addition, always keep in mind that your amplifier may not have been conceived to be used at maximum volume for a long period of time. Running an amplifier at high volume will cause premature wear of the tubes and possible malfunction or damage at the output stage.

The fact that the volume control of your amplifier is not set at maximum doesn’t mean your amplifier is not running at maximum volume. A prudent course of action is to maintain the volume setup you would use in a rehearsal or live performance setting, rather than following what the volume potentiometer indicates.

3. Minimum Software Requirements

The following details the minimum requirements recommended to run GENOME; in order to instantiate more effect blocks, improved/enhanced system specifications may be required.

4. Latency & Audio Interface Setup

What is Latency?

The term latency is common-place is audio production circles and relates to the amount of time it takes for your audio to pass through various stages of conversion and processing within a stereotypical studio setup. There are many factors which impact the latency of your production rig and these often include the following:

Latency is a critical consideration when configuring any audio recording or processing setup in order to minimize any lag or delay between your playing and the processed audio being heard. As such, it is vital to configure your audio latency settings as low as possible for the optimal user experience when using GENOME.

Configuring your Interface, Hooking Up Your Instrument & Optimizing Your Audio Preferences

As a starting point, connect your Guitar or Bass to a compatible Audio Interface and engage the Hi-Z switch to optimize the interface for instrument-level inputs Then open your DAW and navigate to the Audio Preferences Here, you will need to set your buffer size and latency to as low as possible; when using GENOME if you experience pops and clicks while playing, you will need to raise this buffer / latency setting until these non-desirable artifacts are no longer audible. For guides on setting your audio preferences in all mainstream DAWs, please refer to the following knowledgebase articles:

Finally, if your interface features a Zero-Latency Monitoring option, please ensure this is disabled to avoid hearing your GENOME-processed and DI signal simultaneously.

Use Cases

1. End-To-End Tone Shaping

Within this setup scenario, GENOME will be configured to handle all tone shaping of your Guitar or Bass signal. Please note, any non-GENOME peripheral hardware or software that fundamentally alters and influences your tone should not be used in this setup configuration - in the instance peripheral hardware is incorporated into your pre-GENOME signal chain, please refer to “Use Cases / Hybrid Rig” below.

As a starting point, ensure your DAW and Audio Interface are configured in accordance with the holistic procedures noted in "Section 4: Latency & Audio Interface Setup / Configuring your Interface, Hooking Up Your Instrument & Optimizing Your Audio Preferences"

For this setup configuration you will need:

Post configuring your audio interface and DAW, setup GENOME as an in-the-box rig for end-to-end tone shaping of your guitar or bass tone using the following guidelines:

Note: If you have a Stereo input source and loaded GENOME on a Stereo audio channel within your DAW, GENOME will by default sum the left and right channels to a Mono signal source; by clicking the input configuration options in the top left corner of the GENOME Window, you can select whether to continue with the default sum, or take a mono feed of the Left or Right channels of your Stereo signal

2. Hybrid Rig

A Hybrid Rig is any setup that combines your traditional backline - be it modeling processors, amplifiers, a pedalboard or a hardware amp sim - and GENOME’s suite of PEDALS, CODEX AI Amp Captures, TSM™ Amps, DynIR™ / IR Cabinets and STUDIO FX. In the setup scenarios below, we cover the main use cases in order to incorporate GENOME into your backline.

As a starting point, ensure your DAW and Audio Interface are configured in accordance with the holistic procedures noted in "Section 4: Latency & Audio Interface Setup / Configuring your Interface, Hooking Up Your Instrument & Optimizing Your Audio Preferences"

For this setup configuration you will need:

Post configuring your Audio Interface and DAW, setup GENOME for use in the context of a Hybrid Rig using the following guidelines:

Using GENOME and Your Modeling Processor

Using GENOME with Your Physical Amp Collection

Using GENOME and Your Physical Pedalboard

Using GENOME and Your Hardware Amp Sim

The GENOME Interface

1. Global Parameter Pane

genome_03_topbar.jpg

GENOME’s global parameters are located in the Global Parameter Pane, positioned at the top of the GENOME graphical user interface. These parameters are saved independently from RIGs and Component-level Presets.

1.1 Hamburger Menu

GENOME’s Hamburger Menu provides options for user preferences. licensing information and more. Open the Hamburger Menu by clicking the menu’s 3-dash icon to open the related pane and access the following preferences:

1.2 Input Routing

In order to configure GENOME’s routing of the related input signal into the plugin, reveal the dropdown menu visible by clicking the icon next to ‘ IN’ located in the top left portion of GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane.

GENOME (v1.03) has been configured to process a stereo or a mono signal at its input stage and there are dedicated options to select how a Stereo signal is processed into a compatible Mono source. These are:

Note: Users under GENOME (v1.02) do not have the Stereo option.

1.3 Input Meter & Input Level Fader

genome_05_in_bar.jpg

The Input Meter & Input Level Fader are located in GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane and provide quick access to manage the Input Level of your source audio. When configuring your Input Level, it is vital to ensure your source audio does not clip, subsequently driving the instantiated RIG’s Component configuration beyond optimal limits.

Note: Within GENOME, internal signals are calculated in 32-bit float format; as such, signals can’t actually ‘clip’ inside GENOME as they might if using fixed 24-bit processing. However, maintaining an optimal volume range will ensure Components sensitive to input gain (Amplifiers/Distortion Pedals) operate within the volume range they were specified for.

Note: Post GENOME’s input, at a RIG/Component Level, the Output Level of each Component can be adjusted to ensure optimal inter-component gain staging.

1.4 TUNER

genome_07_tuner_window.jpg

GENOME's TUNER is an accurate monophonic guitar and bass tuning utility located in GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane and is accessed by clicking on the Tuning Fork icon.

Note: TUNER parameters are not saved per RIG preset and exist as part of GENOME’s global parameter controls

1.5 NOISE GATE

genome_08_noise_gate.jpg

GENOME’s NOISE GATE is a corrective utility located in GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane, instantiated and deactivated using the On/Off button to the right of the TUNER icon.

The NOISE GATE will lower the volume of the source signal below a designated input THRESHOLD, reducing any background noise present when not playing.

To reveal and edit the NOISE GATE settings, click the GATE button. To close the NOISE GATE settings either click the GATE button or click anywhere else on GENOME’s graphical user interface. The following parameters are available upon revealing GENOME’s NOISE GATE Settings:

Note: The NOISE GATE is a global processor and as such is not saved per RIG

1.6 Output Meter & Output Level Fader

genome_09_out_view.jpg

GENOME’s Output Meter & Output Level Fader are located in GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane, positioned next to the OUT moniker in the top right corner of the graphical user Interface.

GENOME’s Output Level can be adjusted using the Output Level Fader and monitored using the Output Meter to set a summative level at the output of the plugin. The Output Level Fader range is scaled from -95dB to 12dB. Use the Output Meter to monitor GENOME’s output signal level in real time post any adjustments made to the Output Level Fader.

Note: The Output Level Fader is a global processor and as such is not saved per RIG

1.7 CPU Meter & Oversampling

GENOME’s CPU Meter is located in GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane, positioned to the right of the Output Level Fader in the top right corner of the graphical user Interface. The CPU Meter provides an indication of how much CPU is used for the current loaded instance of GENOME.

Oversampling
GENOME’s Oversampling modes are located, selected and instantiated via the drop down menu above the CPU Meter. These modes allow the user to select the amount of Oversampling that is used within GENOME. Oversampling will reduce any audio anomalies (Aliasing) caused by frequency content in the processed signal above GENOME’s operating Sample Rate frequency. Higher Oversampling will increase GENOME’s effective Sample Rate to prevent any Aliasing, but will also increase CPU usage. For older computers it is recommended to use the OFF setting, as this is less CPU intensive. For more modern computers with faster CPUs, the choice of Oversampling can be made from all available options including OFF, HIGH, HIGH+, ULTRA, and MAX.
Ultra and MAX Oversampling modes are designed for offline rendering (bounce). These modes provide slight enhancements to audio quality at the cost of very high CPU usage. They are not fit for playback.

Note: The CPU Meter is not an indication of total CPU usage, but instead a meter showing how much CPU time is being used within the processing buffer for the currently active RIG and related components. As such, it will display a different value to a host- or system-centric CPU usage meter.

2. RIG Config Pane

genome_12_rig_bar.jpg

The RIG Config Pane is located immediately under GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane, providing a suite of comprehensive RIG management facilities.

A note about GENOME RIGS: A GENOME RIG is a headline preset consisting of a pre-designated selection of Components organized across GENOME’s lane based architecture. Out-the-box, GENOME ships with an extensive selection of GENOME RIGS. Whether it’s a snarling lead tone or an ambient post-rock soundscape, GENOME’s RIGs are your fast track to tonal bliss.

2.1 RIG Select

genome_13_rig_list.jpg

To select a RIG, click the currently instantiated RIG name located in the top right of the RIG Config Pane. This will open GENOME’s RIG Browser where all available GENOME RIGs can be viewed, loaded and managed (see 2.2. RIG Browser)

To cycle through RIGs sequentially, use the Up/Down arrow positioned to the left of the GENOME RIG Select Window. This will load the previous/next RIG in the currently selected RIG Browser Bank respectively.

2.2 RIG Browser

The RIG Browser is accessed by clicking the RIG Select window within GENOME’s RIG Config Pane. This is a RIG management tool, allowing the user to Browse, Select, Save, Import and Export RIGs / RIG Banks. GENOME’s RIG Browser contains 8 Banks of RIGs with storage of up to 128 RIGs per bank. Within the RIG Browser, the following information and editable parameters are accessible to manage your library of GENOME RIGS:

2.3 RIG Revert, Save RIG, Undo/Redo

genome_14_save_undo_redo_rig.jpg

Within the RIG Config Pane, GENOME provides a suite of comprehensive tools to manage the instantiated RIG. These quick-access RIG Management Tools are positioned to the right of RIG Config Pane’s RIG Select tool and include the following options:

2.4 RIG Tempo

genome_15_rig_tempo.jpg

GENOME’s RIG Tempo is located in the top right of the RIG Config Pane, and displays the current BPM saved as part of the instantiated RIG. The ‘LOCK’ icon to the left of the RIG Tempo BPM Display provides the following options:

Note: Where a GENOME component features a time-base parameter that can be synced to tempo-specific beat-divisions (e.g. STUDIO Modulation FX or the STUDIO Delay), any synchronization will be actioned in accordance with GENOME’s RIG Tempo.

3. RIG Builder

genome_17_lane_stereo.jpg

GENOME’s RIG Builder contains up to 20 effects slots (or Inserts'), each of which can be loaded with a GENOME Component. Within the RIG Builder, multiple components can be configured in Series or Parallel to create a RIG which in turn can be saved via GENOME’s RIG Browser (see section 2.2. RIG Browser).

3.1 Lane Architecture

GENOME’s RIG Builder harnesses a Lane Architecture with options to configure Dual Lanes for parallel processing and a Single Lane for series-based processing. Signal flow through GENOME’s Lane architecture is actioned from left to right; the left-most Insert takes its input from GENOME’s source, post the Input Level Fader; the right-most Insert outputs all processing from the instantiated RIG to the Output Level Fader before returning the signal to the Digital Audio Workstation.

3.2 Automatic Mono / Stereo Signal Flow Management

While GENOME’s source is always configured in Mono, Components within GENOME’s Component arsenal are classified as either Mono or Stereo processors; as such, a given Component will process the preceding audio at its input stage in accordance with it’s Mono or Stereo classification.

For the most part, the user cannot define whether a Component processes its input in Mono or Stereo however in some special cases, a Stereo Component can be forced to receive a Mono input (examples being the STUDIO Reverb and STUDIO Delay). For ease of use, GENOME will automatically manage Stereo/Mono routing within a RIG; lines connecting the Inserts will denote what type of connection has been configured.

Once a signal has been processed in Stereo, it will remain Stereo until it passes through a Component configured for a Mono input. Likewise, if a signal is Mono, it will remain Mono until it passes through a Component configured for a Stereo output.

3.3 Component Management

From adding new Components to moving Components within GENOME’s Lane based Architecture, Component Management has been configured as a hyper-intuitive process. Detailed below are the principal Component-management tools available when configuring a RIG.

Adding Components
genome_18_add_component_menu.jpg To add a Component to an empty Insert, click the Insert and select the desired Component from the dropdown Component Menu.
Deleting Components
genome_20_delete_component.jpg To delete a Component, hover over the Component you wish to delete and click the red “X” that appears; alternatively, right-click the Component and select 'Delete' from the resultant dropdown Menu.
Replacing Components

3.4 Nodes

genome_24_hover_split_point.jpg

Hovering on any portion of GENOME’s Lane Architecture will reveal Nodes positioned between all qualifying Inserts. Nodes are used to configure GENOME’s Lane Split / Merge functionality detailed below.

GENOME’s Lane Split / Merge functionality allows for parallel processing within the GENOME RIG; for example, GENOME’s Lane Split / Merge can be configured to route amplifier and / or cabinet components in parallel, feeding a merged STUDIO FX chain in Series.

3.5 Splitting Lanes

genome_25_split_here.jpg

To Split a Lane configured in series routing, click the Node between two target Inserts and select 'Split Here'. To move the Split junction, click on a different target Node and select 'Move Split Here'.

3.6 Merging Lanes

genome_26_merge_lane.jpg

To Merge a Split configuration back into a single Lane for Series processing, click the Node between two Inserts anywhere after the Split junction and select 'Move Merge Here'.

Note: If a Merge junction has not been instantiated, the processed signal will always Merge after the last Insert, prior to the RIG output.

3.7 Lane Merge Mixer

genome_27_lane_merge_menu.jpg

At the Merge junction, the two parallel Lanes can be mixed using the Lane Merge Mixer. This can be accessed by clicking the Mixer icon shown at the Merge junction. The Lane Merge Mixer provides the following identical parameters for Lane A (the upper lane) and Lane B (the lower lane):

GENOME Components

1. Component Presets and Preset Management Common to All GENOME Components
