Foreword
1. Reader Warning
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.
For further information on safety and precautionary measures to be taken when using an amplifier and a Two notes Loadbox with GENOME, please refer to the related user guides accessible here: https://wiki.two-notes.com/doku.php?id=start

2. Latency
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:
- The time taken for your audio (or MIDI) signal to be sent into your interface or computer
- The time taken for your audio interface to process the analog to Digital conversion of the source audio
- The time taken for the internal processing of the audio within your DAW
- The time taken for the Digital to Analog conversion from your interface for the resultant sound to be heard from your headphones or monitors
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.
GENOME Plugin Variants
1. Supported DAWs, Plugin Formats & Recommended System Specifications
On Desktop only, GENOME Intro, GENOME & GENOME Suite are available in the following plugin formats, compatible with the noted Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) platforms:
- VST3 ( Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, and Reaper)
- AU (Logic Pro X and Garage Band)
- AAX (ProTools)
2. Latency & Audio Interface Setup with a GENOME Plugin Variant
- 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 any GENOME desktop variant, 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.
The GENOME Standalone Application (Desktop and iOS)
1. Latency & Audio Interface Setup with a GENOME’s Standalone Application
- As a starting point, connect your Guitar or Bass to a compatible Audio Interface’s Instrument/Inst/DI/Hi-Z input (and engage the Hi-Z switch if applicable) to optimize the interface for instrument-level inputs
- Next, configure the Standalone Application’s audio settings in the software. by clicking on the “Audio Settings” menu item hosted in the application’s hamburger menu
- For Windows Users Only, In the “Audio Device Type” dropdown, select ASIO (if available/applicable)
- Next, select the “Input Device” and “Output Device” corresponding to the audio interface(s) connected to your host computer or iOS device; please note that one or two inputs can be selected for mono or stereo operation respectively - GENOME will automatically configure its input settings based on this selection
- Within the “Active Inputs” pane, select the audio interface’s input within which your instrument is connected
- Within the “Active Outputs” pane, select the relevant outputs on your audio interface to hear your GENOME-processed sound via monitors and/or headphones
- Finally configure the Standalone Application’s Sample rate using the “Sample Rate” dropdown menu and set your system latency using the “Audio Buffer Size” dropdown menu.
- Note: We recommend setting your sample rate settings to 48000Hz unless your setup requires a specific Sample Rate configuration
- Note: Increased sample rates and buffer sizes may result in unwanted audio artifacts and increased latency, depending on your host machine’s specifications; if such artifacts or latency issues present themselves, lower your sample rate settings and/or increase your buffer size accordingly.
2. Core Differences between GENOME’s Plugin Variants and the Standalone Application
Principal differences between GENOME’s Plugin Variants and the Standalone Application include the following:
- The Standalone Application features a dedicated “Audio Settings” menu, accessible via the Hamburger Menu
- The Standalone Application features a dedicated “MIDI Settings” Menu, accessible via the Hamburger Menu
- The Standalone Application retains the last saved or unsaved instance upon reopening the application
MIDI
Across Desktop and iOS variants, GENOME provides comprehensive MIDI mapping facilities with support for both Program Change (PC) and Control Change (CC) messages. Please note, by default PC messages are automatically assigned to RIGs (0-127) from the instantiated bank; CC messages on the other hand are intended for manual assignment by the user across any assignable architectural- or Component-level parameter. Upon assigning Component–level parameters for MIDI control, they are easily identified via a green overlay; in addition, RIG presets assigned to MIDI are identified by a green dot located in the upper right–hand corner of the RIG slot within the RIG Browser.
Note: Although PC messages are supported by VST3 specifications, at this juncture they are not correctly implemented by many DAWs (including Reaper, Ableton Live & Studio One). As such, for users wishing to switch RIGs via PC commands in GENOME’s plugin variants, AU or AAX variants are recommended.
1. Creating MIDI Assignments
Within GENOME, MIDI can be assigned in 2 ways, either via the matrix within the MIDI Mapping Centre or via right-clicking on any automatable Component or architectural parameter.
1.1 Managing MIDI Assignments Via The Right-Click Contextual Menu
Architectural Parameters
Within GENOME, the architectural parameter arsenal is consistent across any GENOME instance loaded; as such, they are permanently listed within the MIDI Mapping Centre and do not include facilities to delete assignments; instead they permit manual CC assignment, MIDI Learn functionality and Clear CC options. To map an architectural parameter to a MIDI CC value:
- First Right-Click (Desktop) or Long-Press (iOS) the designated Component-level parameter or RIG in the RIG Browser for assignment
- Use “LEARN” to monitor incoming MIDI signals and automatically assign the first valid CC command to the selected parameter
- Alternatively, manually set the CC parameter by clicking in the field labeled “OFF” by default
Component-Level Parameters
Unlike architectural parameters, Component-level controls are RIG specific; as such they permit manual assignment creation, CC assignment, MIDI Learn functionality, Clear CC options and Delete Assignment functionality. To map a Component-level parameter to a MIDI CC value:
- First Right-Click (Desktop) or Long-Press (iOS) the designated parameter for assignment
- Click “CREATE” to add the parameter as a selected assignment; note that creation of a selected assignment will add the parameter to the MIDI Mapping Centre. Once created, a MIDI assignment can either be actioned immediately (using the processes outlined in the steps below), or postponed until entering the MIDI Mapping Centre where all selected assignments can be mapped in one convenient workspace
- Use “LEARN” to monitor incoming MIDI signals and automatically assign the first valid CC command to the selected parameter
- Alternatively, manually set the CC parameter clicking in the field labeled “OFF” by default
- To delete a MIDI assignment click the X button situated next to the Clear CC assignment button
- Note: the “Delete a MIDI Assignment“ option will only be visible providing the Component-level parameter has been assigned previously (either via a parameter previously assigned to a MIDI CC command and the CC command cleared, or a component parameter selected for assignment but not assigned to a CC command). Clicking this parameter will therefore remove the assignment entirely from GENOME’s MIDI Mapping Centre Matrix but can be re-added at any time if such is actioned in error.
1.2 Managing MIDI Assignments via the MIDI Mapping Centre
The MIDI Mapping Centre is accessed via GENOME’s Hamburger Menu. Within this submenu, comprehensive facilities to manage all MIDI assignments within a GENOME instance are available, including:
- Management of all fixed Architectural parameter MIDI Assignments
- Management of all created Component-Level parameters either assigned or intended for MIDI assignment
- CC assignment to a selected Architectural- or Component-level parameter either manually or via MIDI Learn
Instance Vs RIG MIDI Mapping Management
Instance Mappings within the MIDI Mapping Centre are architectural parameters that remain consistent between any RIG loaded in GENOME; these are shown in the left-hand column of GENOME’s MIDI Mapping Centre Window. Within this column the following Import, Export and default behavior options are available:
- IMPORT MAPPING: Use this to import a previously saved MIDI Mapping Template within the current GENOME instance
- EXPORT MAPPING: Use this to save a MIDI Mapping Template to your host machine for recall via the IMPORT MAPPING function described above - a useful feature to apply the same architectural MIDI Map to multiple GENOME Instances or switch up architectural MIDI maps when using different control sources
- SET AS DEFAULT: Set the current MIDI Map as the default control map for GENOME at start-up
- LOAD DEFAULT: Overwrite the current architectural MIDI Map with the default assignment (either the factory settings if “SET AS DEFAULT” has not been selected previously, or the last map selected as the default state by the user)
RIG Mappings can be found in the right-hand column of the MIDI Mapping Centre and relate to the current instantiated RIG and related Components within the GENOME Instance. RIG Mappings are saved with the RIG file and as such are available across GENOME Instances. To add further RIG Mappings, please refer to the “i. Managing MIDI Assignments Via The Right-Click Contextual Menu / Component-Level Parameters” guidelines above.
Managing MIDI Assignments in the MIDI Mapping Centre
Within the MIDI Mapping Centre, the following controls are available to manage MIDI assignments on a GENOME instance- or RIG-level: Batch Controls:
- Clear All MIDI CC Assignments in Batch: To clear all MIDI assignments for either Instance or RIG mappings, click the CC button located at the top of either the “Instance: Software”, “Instance: Automations”, “Instance: Lane Mixer” or “RIG” tables
Individual Parameter MIDI Assignments:
- LEARN: Use “LEARN” to monitor incoming MIDI signals and automatically assign the first valid CC command to the selected parameter
- Note: PC messages are locked to RIG changes from the instantiated bank; within the MIDI Mapping Page, this status is indicated via the Padlock Icon (see image below); by clicking the CC button selector to the far right of the “Rig Change” row, a CC number can be assigned to RIG changes via values 1 - 127.
- CC Indicator & Entry Field: By default - and without an active assignment - this field is labeled “OFF” and is located to the right of the “LEARN” parameter; this provides a representation of what MIDI CC is assigned to a given parameter alongside options to manually set the CC assignment by clicking in the field
- Note: Upon assignment - and provided a selected CC value is already in use within the current configuration - the (i) icon will be shown to the left of each duplicate CC assignment. Clicking this (i) icon will reveal a dialogue box stating the parameter names assigned to the related CC command with options to accept multiple assignments of the same CC number if desired (“OK”) or clear any duplicate assignments (“CLEAR DUPLICATE ASSIGNMENTS”)
- Parameter Name: To the right of the “Clear MIDI CC Assignment” icon, the parameter name for MIDI assignment can be viewed
- Assignment Behavior: Located to the right of the “Parameter Name” field are GENOME’s MIDI assignment behavior controls; these offer customization options for how GENOME will respond to a given MIDI message. Within GENOME, assigned parameters are categorized as follows:
- Dual State Parameters: Dual State parameters are those that have only 2 states (i.e. On / Off); a good example being the On / Off state of a PEDAL Component’s switch. Within GENOME the following options are available to configure the behavior of such assignments:
- Toggle (0 = “off” / 1-127 = “on”)
- Reverse (0 = “on” / 1-127 = “off”)
- Any (0-127 = change state)
- Scaled Parameters: In contrast to Dual State Parameters, Scaled Parameters are those where a range of values can be instantiated via the assigned MIDI CC Value (0-127); a good example being the Gain Knob on a TSM or TSM-Ai Amplifier Component. When a Scaled Parameter is assigned to a CC number in GENOME, options are available to set a “Min” and a “Max” value ranging from 0 to 100; such essentially dictates the range of control on the parameter exerted by the MIDI controller. If selecting a value higher for “Min” than for “Max”, the range is effectively inverted offering reversed control functionality.
- Note: This range constraint is applied to the control in GENOME, not the related CC message value
- Delete MIDI CC Assignment (RIG Only): To delete a specific MIDI assignments within the current active RIG mapping, click the X button located to the right of the “Assignment Behavior” field
1.3 MIDI Devices Page (Standalone Application Only)
When using the Standalone Application only, an additional preferences page is available via GENOME’s Hamburger Menu - The MIDI Devices Page. This page provides configuration and setup options that determine how MIDI data is received by the Standalone Application. Note: For GENOME’s Plugin variants, setup options that determine how MIDI data is received is configured via the related MIDI setup facilities within the host DAW’s preferences. For details on how to configure MIDI devices within the host DAW, please refer to the related DAW user guides linked below:
Within the MIDI Devices Page, the following controls are available to configure how MIDI information is received by the GENOME Standalone Application:
- MIDI Channel (Drop Down Menu): Select what Channel MIDI data is received from - either Channels 1-16 or via all channels (OMNI)
- MIDI Inputs: Configure which external devices MIDI data is received from within the GENOME Standalone Application from the compatible hardware connected to the host computer
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/the Standalone Application and Audio Interface are configured in accordance with the holistic procedures noted in "Section F: Latency"
For this setup configuration you will need:
- A compatible Audio Interface with an Instrument / High-Z Input
- A monitoring source (Headphones or Studio Monitors) and suitable cabling to connect your monitoring source to the Audio Interface
- A ¼-inch TS unbalanced instrument cable
- A Guitar or Bass
- For Plugin Use Only: A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in which GENOME can be instantiated
Post configuring your audio interface and DAW/the Standalone Application, setup GENOME as an in-the-box rig for end-to-end tone shaping of your guitar or bass tone using the following guidelines:
- If using the standalone application, simply open the application and ensure audio from your source is being received by GENOME.
- If using a DAW:
- Load a new Audio Channel in your DAW
- Within the Channel’s inserts, open your plugin list and select GENOME
- If instantiating GENOME for the first time, you will be prompted to login to GENOME, please use your Two notes account credentials to action this
- Providing the correct account details have been entered, GENOME will open and you will have access to our lane-based architecture and components to start building your in-the-box rig
- For end-to-end tone generation, please ensure an amplifier model is selected (CODEX or a TSM™ Amplifier) as well as a suitable cabinet emulation (the DynIR™ Engine or the IR Loader); to further supplement and refine your tone, add STUDIO FX (post amp or cabinet emulation) and PEDAL components (pre amplifier emulation) to your GENOME RIG
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/the Standalone Application and Audio Interface are configured in accordance with the holistic procedures noted in "Section F: Latency"
For this setup configuration you will need:
- A compatible Audio Interface with suitable Instrument/High-Z and/or Line Level inputs
- A monitoring source (Headphones or Studio Monitors) and suitable cabling to connect your monitoring source to the Audio Interface
- Your existing backline, including - but not limited to - Pedals/Pedalboards, DI Boxes, Amplifiers, Loadboxes, Modeling Processors, Hardware Amp Simulators etc.
- Suitable cabling to connect your Loadbox, Amp Sim or Pedalboard to your Audio Interface (please refer to respective manufacturer’s user-guides for cabling and connectivity requirements)
- A Guitar or Bass
- For Plugin Use Only: A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in which GENOME can be instantiated
Post configuring your Audio Interface and DAW, setup GENOME for use in the context of a Hybrid Rig using the following guidelines:
- If using the standalone application, simply open the application and ensure audio from your source is being received by GENOME.
- If using a DAW:
- Load a new Audio Channel in your DAW
- Within the Channel’s inserts, open your plugin list and select GENOME
- If instantiating GENOME for the first time, you will be prompted to login to GENOME, please use your Two notes account credentials to action this
- Providing the correct account details have been entered, GENOME will open and you will have access to our lane-based architecture and components to start building your in-the-box rig
- 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
Using GENOME and Your Modeling Processor
- Please connect the Modeling Processor’s Line Level outputs to your Audio Interface
- In the instance that you only want to use your Modelling Processor’s built in amp simulation, ensure you have disabled the unit’s onboard cabinet emulation and use GENOME as your Post Amp signal chain inclusive of our DynIR™ Engine and STUDIO FX Suite
- In the instance that you want to use your Modelling Processor’s built in Pedal FX models, ensure you have disabled the unit’s onboard Amplifier and cabinet emulation and use GENOME as your Post Pedal signal chain inclusive of our Amplifier options (CODEX or a TSM™ Amplifier suite), DynIR™ Engine and STUDIO FX Suite
Using GENOME with Your Physical Amp Collection
- When connecting an amplifier, please ensure this is routed into a suitable load box (like the Torpedo Captor or Captor X); this loadbox should be connected to your Audio Interface’s Line Level Inputs
- Ensure you have disabled any digital / analog cabinet emulation on your Loadbox and use GENOME as your Post Amp signal chain inclusive of the DynIR™ Engine and STUDIO FX Suite
Using GENOME and Your Physical Pedalboard
- Note: If your Pedalboard features a dedicated Amp Sim at the terminus of your signal chain, please refer to “Using GENOME and your hardware Amp Sim” below
- In order to configure GENOME alongside your physical Pedalboard, first check if the last device in your Pedalboard’s signal chain is outputting a Line or Instrument Level signal
- In the instance that this is an Instrument Level signal, connect this pedal to a compatible Audio Interface and engage the High-Z switch to optimize the interface for instrument-level inputs
- In the instance this is a Line Level signal please ensure suitable Line Level Inputs are used on your Audio Interface
- Once the Standalone Application is opened or GENOME is instantiated in your DAW, you can:
- Expand your physical Pedalboard with GENOME’s PEDAL arsenal
- Run your GENOME PEDALS into a CODEX AI Amp Capture or a TSM™ Amplifier
- Apply a DynIR™ or static IR to your post GENOME Amp Signal
- Add STUDIO FX for post-Amp and -cabinet processing
Using GENOME and Your Hardware Amp Sim
- Please connect your Hardware Amp Sim’s Line Level outputs to your Audio Interface
- In the instance that you only want to use your Hardware Amp Sim’s built in amp simulation, ensure you have disabled the unit’s onboard cabinet emulation and use GENOME as your Post Amp signal chain inclusive of the DynIR™ Engine and STUDIO FX Suite
- In the instance that you only want to use your Hardware Amp Sim’s built in amp and cabinet simulation, use GENOME as your Post Amp / Cab signal chain inclusive of our STUDIO FX Suite only

1.2 TUNER
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.
- Once instantiated the source input’s current pitch is indicated by the text note display; the accompanying graphic denotes how close the source audio is to the target semitone
- The reference pitch can be selected using the REFERENCE control in the range 432Hz to 448Hz, with 440Hz being the default standard tuning reference
- The OUTPUT switch located in the bottom right of the TUNER GUI determines whether the sound output is muted whilst tuning
- To close the TUNER window, click the 'X' located in the top right of the GUI
Note: TUNER parameters are not saved per RIG preset and exist as part of GENOME’s global parameter controls
1.3 Global Transpose
GENOME's Global Transpose is a preset level tool used to shift GENOME’s source input across a ±24-semitone range with ultra-low latency and minimal artifacts. Within the Global Transpose Interface, the following parameters are available to configure:
- TRANSPOSE / SEMITONES: Use to shift GENOME’s source input across a ±24-semitone range
- FINE TUNING / CENTS: Use to fine-tune GENOME’s source input pitch across a ±100-cent range
- CENTS / A HZ (Buttons): Define the unit used to configure the Global Transpose FINE TUNING in either Cents or Hz
1.4 NOISE GATE
GENOME’s Noise Gate is a corrective preset-level 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:
- THRESHOLD: Sets a threshold level under which the NOISE GATE will activate
- HARD/SOFT: Sets the behavior of the NOISE GATE; HARD will cut the sound abruptly when the NOISE GATE is activated; SOFT apply a gentle roll-off to the gating effect
- LEARN: Clicking this button will enable the NOISE GATE’s LEARN Mode for automatic THRESHOLD configuration. When LEARN Mode is instantiated, stop playing and mute your strings; GENOME will then calculate the level of the background noise preset in the source signal and set the THRESHOLD accordingly
Note: The NOISE GATE is a global processor and as such is not saved per RIG
1.5 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
The RIG Config Pane is located immediately under GENOME’s Global Parameter Pane, providing a suite of comprehensive RIG management facilities.

3. RIG Builder
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 Input Routing
In order to configure GENOME’s routing of the related input signal, reveal the dropdown menu by clicking the icon at the footer of GENOME’s RIG Builder, positioned next to the GENOME IN level meter and Input Level field.
GENOME has been configured to process 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:
- Stereo: In this instance, the stereo signal at the input is processed in stereo by GENOME
- Mono LR Mix: In this instance both channels of the Stereo Signal are summed to a Mono Signal
- Mono from Left: In this instance GENOME processes the left channel of the Stereo Signal only
- Mono from Right: In this instance GENOME processes the right channel of the Stereo Signal only
3.2 Input Meter & Input Level Fader
The Input Meter & Input Level Field are located on the left of GENOME’s RIG Builder 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.
- Use the Input Level Field to adjust the volume of your input signal by -12dB to +12dB. Ensure the Input Signal Level falls within a suitable range using the accompanying Input Meter to monitor the level at the source audio’s input into GENOME
- The optimal range for the input signal is -18dB to -6dB. If after setting the Input Level, the the source audio’s Input Level registers outside of the optimal range, reduce the volume of the source audio’s signal before it reaches GENOME either on your audio interface (when direct monitoring) or via the Digital Audio Workstation’s audio editing preferences, insert utility plugin or similar (during playback)
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.
3.3 Output Routing
In order to configure GENOME’s routing of the related output signal from the plugin, reveal the dropdown menu visible by clicking the icon at the footer of GENOME’s RIG Builder, positioned next to the GENOME OUT level meter and Output Level field. The following output-centric options are available:
- Stereo: In this instance, GENOME outputs the Stereo Signal as configured in the lane-based architecture in the RIG Builder interface
- Mono LR Mix: In this instance both channels of the Stereo Signal are summed to a Mono Signal
- Mono from Left: In this instance GENOME outputs the left channel of the Stereo Signal only
- Mono from Right: In this instance GENOME outputs the right channel of the Stereo Signal only
3.4 Output Meter & Output Level Fader
GENOME’s Output Meter & Output Level Field are located in GENOME’s RIG Builder Window, positioned to the right of the graphical user Interface.
GENOME’s Output Level can be adjusted using the Output Level Field and monitored using the Output Meter to set a summative level at the output of the plugin. The Output Level 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
3.5 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.
3.6 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.
- If an instantiated Component has a mono input, a single line will connect to the preceding Component/Insert
- If an instantiated Component has a Stereo input, a double line will connect to the preceding Component/Insert
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.
3.7 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.
.
3.8 Nodes
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.
3.9 Splitting Lanes
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'.
3.10 Merging Lanes
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.
3.11 Lane Merge Mixer
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):
- Lane Mono/Stereo Routing: Defines the Stereo / Mono configuration of the respective Lane’s signal in accordance with the following options: Stereo, Mono LR Mix, Mono From Left or Mono From Right
- LEVEL: Sets the volume level of the respective Lane from -95dB to 12dB
- PAN: Sets the respective Lane’s pan value scaled from full left to full right
- MUTE: Provides controls to Mute/Unmute the Lane
- PHASE INVERT: Provides controls to Invert the Phase of the Lane
GENOME Components
1. Component Presets and Preset Management Common to All GENOME Components
Within GENOME, each Component includes a Component Module Preset Browser featuring an effect bypass/engage switch, a drop-down menu that lists any saved Presets, arrows that cycle through the component-level Presets, and an Import/Export option.

3.13 Parameters Common to All TSM™ Amplifiers
The following parameters are available on all TSM™ Amplifier models:
INPUT (Preamp) Stage:
- GAIN: Sets the amount of input gain applied to the preamp stage. Higher settings will drive the input more, increasing the amount of PREAMP distortion. An additional method of adding more gain at the input is to increase the output volume of the previous component block.
- CHANNEL EQ: Each TSM™ Amplifier features a custom voiced 3-band Tone Stack, specific to the instantiated amplifier model
- BASS: Adjusts the level of bass frequency content for the selected model
- MID: Adjusts the level of mid frequency content for the selected model
- TREBLE: Adjusts the level of high frequency content for the selected model
POWERAMP Stage:
- DEPTH: Increasing this control adds more low frequency content to the POWERAMP stage
- CONTOUR: Low values result in reduced bass and treble frequency content creating a more 'mid-focussed’ tone; higher settings will increase the bass and treble frequency content while reducing mid-range frequencies resulting in a more 'scooped' sound
- VOLUME: Sets the tube output stage volume. As well as increasing the output volume, higher settings will also drive the output more, increasing the amount of POWERAMP distortion
- SETTINGS: Clicking the SETTINGS button will reveal the customisable POWERAMP SETTINGS pane complete with dedicated options for Tube Model, Type and Configuration. The following controls are available for surgical tuning of the selected POWERAMP’s tone:

Conquering the dividing line between sublime authenticity and uncompromising digital emulation, DynIR™ represents the pinnacle in virtual guitar- and bass-cabinet technology. Harnessing power equivalent to 160,000 studio- grade IR files, each Two notes DynIR™ can be shaped to the needs of even the most discerning tone chaser. With 8 mics per cabinet, dual mic-ing and 10K mic positions (front & back), unleashing your tone and finding your signature sound has never been simpler.
Top Tip: For optimal performance, the DynIR™ Engine should be placed post a TSM™ Amplifier or the CODEX Engine to recreate a typical guitar-centric signal chain.
The DynIR™ Engine’s GUI is divided up into four sections:
- Top Left: Cabinet Explorer/Selection
- Bottom Left: Microphone Controls (MIC A and MIC B)
- Central Pane (in-between the MIC A & MIC B channels): Global Controls
- Right: Cabinet & Microphone Interactive Mic’ing Quadrant
Cabinet Explorer/Selection: The Cabinet Explorer/Selection section is used to browse and select which DynIR™ Cabinet is loaded within the DynIR™ Engine. Within this section, the following controls are available:
- Text Search Box: The Text Search Box grants comprehensive searching facilities across Two notes’ extensive catalog of DynIR™ virtual cabinets, with the resulting Cabinet Explorer list being adjustable depending on the filtering criteria determined by the user. To remove the text search filter, click the red 'X' on the left of the box. The following filters are available to the user to refine the DynIR™ virtual cabinets shown within the Cabinet Explorer list:
- GUITAR/BASS Filter Switches: Selecting GUITAR or BASS limits the Cabinet Explorer list to DynIR™ virtual cabinets captured from either Guitar or Bass cabinets respectively
- Ownership Filter: Clicking the icon positioned to the right of the GUITAR/BASS Filter Switches toggles the 'Owned' filter - if instantiated/highlighted, the Cabinet Explorer will list any DynIR™ virtual cabinets not currently owned and therefore assigned to the user’s Two notes account ID; all non-owned cabinets shown within the Cabinet Explorer are available to demo and subsequently purchase. When in demo mode, only one microphone channel is available within the DynIR™ Engine’s GUI; in addition, GENOME will insert silence at random intervals until either an owned cabinet is instantiated and the demonstration mode exited, or the related cabinet is purchased from the Two notes store
- DynIR Cabinet Quantity Display: This is positioned To the right of the GUITAR/BASS Filter Switches and the Ownership Filter; here, a number is displayed indicating the quantity of DynIR™ virtual cabinets currently listed in the Cabinet Explorer
- Selected Cabinet Name Display Box: The currently instantiated DynIR™ virtual cabinet name is displayed in the Cabinet Name Display Box.
- Clicking in this box will reveal the Explorer/Browser window where cabinets can be selected based on SPEAKER SIZE, CAPTURE MASTER (the studio / party that created the capture), and OWNERSHIP (whether the license for the cabinet has been assigned to your Two notes account license)
- Note: This list will already be filtered by the GUITAR/BASS Filter, the Ownership Filter button, and any currently active Text Search
- Using the Explorer window, cabinets can be selected by highlighting a cabinet type in the left pane, and selecting a specific cabinet in the right pane
- The resultant cabinet list can be further refined by using the dedicated Sort Options positioned at the top of this Explorer/Browser window, either alphabetically (A-Z), by CAPTURE MASTER or by OWNERSHIP status
- The left/right arrows to the right of the Selected Cabinet Name Display Box cycle through all cabinets in the currently filtered list.
Microphone Controls (MIC A and MIC B): Each of the two microphones available to mic up the instantiated DynIR™ virtual cabinet share the same set of controls, located within the two Microphone Channels of the GENOME DynIR™ Engine component GUI; note that these controls are specific to each Microphone channel, both of which have been configured to operate independently from one another. The microphone controls common to the MIC A and MIC B channels are as follows:
- Microphone Type Drop-Down: Use this option to choose a Microphone for the selected Microphone channel from a list of eight microphones used to capture the instantiated DynIR™ virtual cabinet. Selecting 'Bypass' from this menu will remove any microphone-processing from this channel
- Microphone Channel Controls:
- DISTANCE: Adjusts the microphone distance from the speaker cabinet
- AXIS: Adjusts the microphone position; from on-axis (in the middle of the speaker cone), to off-axis (towards the edge of the speaker cone)
- Mute: The 'M' button mutes/unmutes the associated Microphone Channel
- Phase Invert: The “Ø” button inverts the phase of the associated microphone channel
- Microphone Volume Fader: Adjusts the selected Microphone Channel’s volume, from -inf to +12dB

It allows you to modify the frequency content of the signal, using the properties of the sum of two signals with different phase levels. Essentially, you emulate a situation where two microphones are used, and the VARIPHI parameter controls the distance (hence the phase relation) between the two microphones
Cabinet & Microphone Interactive Mic’ing Quadrant: The Cabinet & Microphone Interactive Mic’ing Quadrant permits placement of the instantiated microphones by dragging them within a pre-designated area relative to the selected cabinet’s speaker. When manually moving microphones in this manner, related parameters in the Microphone Controls (MIC A and MIC B) section will update accordingly.
- The selected microphones can be placed on- or off-axis, relative to the speaker
- The selected microphones can be moved away from the speaker to pick up more of the 'room' sound
- A 'Speaker Aim Assist' ('+' sign) is displayed on the cabinet grill to aid with microphone axis positioning when the selected microphones are being placed within the mic’ing quadrant
- Holding CMD (Mac) / CTRL (PC) while dragging allows for refined positioning with a greater degree of clinical accuracy
- If the microphone you wish to select is 'hidden' by the companion microphone, use the MIC A or MIC B buttons in the Microphone Controls (MIC A and MIC B) section to instantiate it
- At the bottom right of the DynIR™ Engine’s GUI, a FRONT/BACK selector allows the cabinet to be viewed from the front or back facilitating microphone placement in front or behind the cabinet respectively

Fusing dual-channel (stereo/dual-mono) operation, tempo-synced & free-form delay times, comprehensive channel link facilities, dedicated channel filters and every mainstay you would expect from a studio-grade delay, creating anything from an ambient post-rock delay bed to a mix-cuttin’ slapback is ripe and ready for the taking.
The A Channel and B Channel both share the same arsenal of controls; these can be linked together using the LINK switches located in the central pane of the STUDIO Delay’s GUI under the TIME, FEEDBACK, DRY / WET & EQ labels.
The A- and B-Channel’s delay times can be manually adjusted in milliseconds, or can be synced to the current RIG tempo. In addition, HIGH CUT and LOW CUT filters can be engaged to alter the tone of the repeats as they decay.
Note: The input to the STUDIO Delay Component can be either mono or stereo; to configure this, click the three dots in the Preset Browser at the bottom of the GUI, and select the Wet Summing option. For more details on the STUDIO Delay’s Preset Browser, please refer to “Component Presets and Preset Management Common to All GENOME Components”
Controls common to both the A- and B-Channels:

5.10 TSM™ Power Amp
GENOME's Tube Stage Modelling Power (TSM™) Amplifier component is a pro-grade customisable power amplifier emulation. Using our proprietary TSM™ technology, dive in and sculpt your tone with 4 separate tube models (6L6, EL34, EL84 and KT88) in Push- Pull / AB class, or Single Ended / A class configurations. In a nutshell, it’s everything you need to tweak to your heart’s content and enrich your tone with the undeniable mojo of an authentic clipping/compressed power section.
Note: The TSM™ Power Amp component does not feature a preamp or tone stack, and as such should be placed post a suitable preamp component or DI feed for optimal results.
Within the TSM™ Power Amp, the following parameters are available to configure the Power Amp Emulation:
- TUBE MODEL: Choose between 6L6, EL34, EL84 & KT88 Tube Models
- DEPTH: Increasing this control adds more low frequency content to the POWERAMP stage
- CONTOUR: Low values result in reduced bass and treble frequency content creating a more 'mid-focussed’ tone; higher settings will increase the bass and treble frequency content while reducing mid-range frequencies resulting in a more 'scooped' sound
- VOLUME: Sets the tube output stage volume. As well as increasing the output volume, higher settings will also drive the output more, increasing the amount of POWERAMP distortion
- Tube Configuration: Select whether the selected Tube Model is configured in SINGLE-ENDED or PUSH-PULL states
- Tube Type: Define whether the Tube model is a TRIODE- or PENTODE-centric emulation
Note: In the preset browser section, clicking the three dots on the right hand side of the pane provides options for the TSM™ Power Amp’s Processing Mode. This feature is principally included for preset compatibility with Wall Of Sound; the Wall Of Sound option will switch the Power Amp component into a legacy mode, faithfully replicating the tonality and control specification of the Power Amp component included in Two notes’ Wall of Sound plugin. When the GENOME mode is instantiated, expect an updated tonal output when adjusting DEPTH, CONTOUR and VOLUME parameters.

5.12 STUDIO EQ
Featuring up-to 16 bands of operation, an intuitive layout complete with a visual analysis engine, band-isolate functionality and every main-stay control you would expect from a pro-grade parametric equalizer, the STUDIO EQ covers all your creative and corrective needs, whether it’s the all-important mixdown or honing the perfect live tone.
The STUDIO EQ is divided into 2 principal sections:
- The Graphical User Interface featuring an editable EQ curve defined per instantiated band and backed by a visual analysis engine
- The Control Pane featuring parameters to add / remove bands and dedicated controls to surgically configure each EQ band
Top Tip: Many of the controls in the Control Pane of the STUDIO EQ can also be adjusted by clicking on the EQ nodes in the Graphical User Interface.
Within the STUDIO EQ, the following configuration options are available:
Adding or Removing EQ Bands:
- In the Control Pane, a band can be added using the '+' button, and deleted using the 'X' button
- In the Graphical User Interface, a band can be added by double-clicking and deleted by double-clicking the EQ node while holding the CTRL Key (PC) or CMD Key (MAC)
Selecting EQ Bands:
- In the Control Pane, a band can be selected by using the left/right arrows to cycle through the instantiated bands, or by clicking on the Band Number and using the related drop-down menu
- In the Graphical User Interface, a band can be selected by clicking on the desired EQ node
Enabling/Disabling EQ Bands:
- In the Control Pane, a band can be enabled or disabled using the On/Off button located in the bottom left of the pane
- In the Graphical User Interface, a band can be enabled or disabled by double-clicking on the EQ node
EQ TYPE:
- To change the EQ type for a specific band, click in the EQ type box located in the Control Pane and select the desired band from the resultant drop-down menu
- The available EQ types include: Peak, Notch, Low-Cut, High-Cut, Band-Pass, Low-Shelf & High-Shelf
GAIN:
- The GAIN applied to each band can be adjusted in either the Control Pane, or by clicking and dragging each EQ node up or down within the Graphical User Interface
- The GAIN parameter is only active on the following EQ types: Peak, Low-Shelf, High-Shelf
- To ensure only GAIN is altered and not the frequency setting of the selected node, hold CTRL (PC) or CMD (MAC) whilst dragging the related node
FREQUENCY:
- The center frequency of each band can be adjusted in the Control Pane or by clicking and dragging each EQ node left or right within the Graphical User Interface
- To ensure only FREQUENCY is altered and not the GAIN of the selected node, hold ALT (PC) / Option (MAC) whilst dragging
Q
- The Q factor, or 'width' of each node’s band can be adjusted in the Control Pane
- Note: Q values are centered around 0.707 but ranges have been tweaked for each EQ type to be musically pleasing; as such, duplicating settings from another EQ plug-in may not garner desired results
SLOPE
- The SLOPE of the selected band can be adjusted via the dedicated control located within the right hand side of the Control Pane; use either the left/right arrows or click the SLOPE text box to reveal the related drop-down menu
- In most instances, SLOPE affects the 'order' (or 'steepness') of the band from the center frequency
- Note: When using the Peak EQ TYPE, a SLOPE value other than 12dB/oct will transform the Peak EQ TYPE into a Band-Shelf EQ TYPE; in this instance, the Q parameter will control the bandwidth of the Band Shelf
5.13 STUDIO Compressor
When it comes to surgical dynamic control, a full-featured Compressor is a certified must-have. Complete with every mainstay control demanded from a pro-grade compressor - plus lookahead and an ultra-intuitive visual analysis engine - the STUDIO Compressor is a one-stop-shop when it comes to complete control over your source signal’s dynamic content.
Within the STUDIO Compressor, the following parameters are available to configure the component:
- ATTACK: Sets the attack time from 1ms to 200ms
- RELEASE: Sets the release time from 10ms to 500ms
- KNEE: Sets the sharpness of the compression curve. A “Soft” KNEE will react to lower signal levels in and around the THRESHOLD level to a moderate degree, whereas a “Hard” KNEE will only ever compress signal levels above the THRESHOLD
- Note: This setting can also be controlled using the horizontal handles located in the Compression Curve Graphic
- RATIO: Sets the compression ratio from 1:1 (no compression) to 100:1 (limiting). This setting can also be controlled using the rightmost handle in the Compression Curve Graphic
- THRESHOLD: Sets the input level in dB required to trigger compression. This setting can also be controlled using the central handle in the Compression Curve Graphic
- MAKE-UP: Sets a level of Gain make-up to compensate for level reduction caused by the component’s compression amount
- HP FILTER: Sets the STUDIO Compressor’s Sidechain High-Pass frequency in Hz. Frequencies below this value will not trigger compression
