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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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:

• Logic Pro
• Ableton Live
• ProTools
• Cubase
• Studio One
• Reaper
• GarageBand

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.

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:

• 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
• A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in which GENOME can be instantiated

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:

• 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

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:

• 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
• 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:

• 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 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

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.

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:

• WINDOW SIZE: Set the size of the plugin from 50% to 200%
• MY ACCOUNT: Access key information related to your account inclusive of Login and Logout functionality
• Settings: access the settings regarding the graphic animation for the Studio EQ, Studio Compressor
• SUPPORT: Submit a ticket to the Two notes Helpdesk and view information relating to the version of GENOME currently installed on your computer

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:

• 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

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

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.

• Use the Input Level Fader 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 Fader, 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.

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

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:

• 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

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

• RIG Name: The RIG Name is shown at the top of the RIG Browser, displaying the name of the currently active RIG. If the name is followed by an asterisk ('*'), this notes that the RIG has been edited, and differs from the saved variant of the currently active RIG. To rename a RIG, either:
  • Double-click the name at the top of the RIG Browser/RIG Select window and edit accordingly
  • Or, hover over a RIG Preset in the RIG Browser, click the three horizontal dots on the right of the RIG Browser entry, and select 'Rename'

To mark a RIG as a Favorite, click the Heart icon next to each RIG name, revealed when you hover over any RIG in the RIG Browser. To filter the RIG Browser RIG display to those marked as a 'Favorite', click the heart icon located at the top of the RIG Browser pane
• Delete RIG: To permanently delete a RIG, hover over the corresponding RIG slot in the RIG Browser, click the three dots located to the right of the RIG slot, and select 'Delete'
• Save RIG: To save a RIG to a slot in the RIG Browser, select a Bank, hover over a RIG slot, click the three dots within the corresponding RIG slot, and select 'Replace With Current Rig'
• RIG Export: To export a single RIG, click the three horizontal dots that appear when hovering over a RIG slot in the RIG Browser, and select 'Export'. This will open a operating-system-specific file browser window where a location can be selected on the host machine to save the RIG as a single .tnr RIG file.
• RIG Import: To import a single RIG, click on the three horizontal dots that appear when hovering over a RIG Slot in the RIG Browser, and select 'Import'. This will open a operating-system-specific file browser window for folder and file selection, alongside options to load a single .tnr RIG file into the current RIG slot
  • Note: This will overwrite the current RIG Preset; please ensure the existing RIG is saved if you wish to keep this prior to actioning a RIG Import

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:

• Revert: To Revert an edited RIG to the saved variant of the RIG, click the RIG Revert icon
• Save RIG: Clicking the Save (Disk) icon saves the instantied RIG to the current RIG slot
• Undo / Redo: Virtually all editable RIG-centric actions are saved in GENOME’s Undo/Redo history. To Undo or Redo any modifications to the currently instantiated RIG, use these features to navigate back and forth through your edits

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:

• Tempo From Rig: If selected, the RIG Tempo can be manually defined and edited by double-clicking in the BPM display
  • In addition, if Tempo From Rig is selected, the RIG Tempo BPM can also be manually set by tapping the TAP button at the desired speed
• Tempo From Host: If selected, this BPM display is grayed out and uneditable; the RIG Tempo will subsequently match the BPM set within the host Digital Audio Workstation

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.

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).

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.

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.

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
	To add a Component to an empty Insert, click the Insert and select the desired Component from the dropdown Component Menu.
Deleting Components
	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
	To replace a Component within the RIG Builder’s Lane-Based Architecture, right-click the target active Component and select a replacement Component from the dropdown Component Menu.
Moving Components
	To move a Component relative to other Components in the signal chain, click and drag the target Component to an empty Insert.
	Note: GENOME will only allow Components to be moved to an empty Insert; occupied Inserts must be cleared prior to replacing with a pre-loaded target Component.
Copying Components
	To copy a Component to an available Insert (along with its current settings), hold CTRL (PC) / CMD (MAC) whilst dragging the target Component to an empty Insert.
	Note: GENOME will only allow Components to be copied to an empty Insert; occupied Inserts must be cleared prior to copying a pre-loaded target Component.
Bypassing Components
	To Bypass/Enable a Component, hover over the target Component and click the Off/On icon (circled in red); alternatively, right-click the Component and select Bypass/Enable from the resultant dropdown Menu.

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.

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'.

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.

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

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.

• To save a Preset, click the disk icon and enter a name for the Preset
• Hovering over each Preset in the drop-down menu will reveal three horizontal dots for quick access to a variety of Preset management tools; management options include moving the selected Preset up or down in the list, as well as facilities to replace, duplicate, rename or delete the selected Preset. The Preset can also be exported from this menu.
• To export the current Preset to a file on your host machine, click the three horizontal dots on the right of the Preset Browser

Component Output Level

Each Component in a GENOME RIG features a dedicated control for the OUTPUT LEVEL of the Component. This is positioned in the bottom right corner of the effects module’s Graphical User Interface. The Component Output Level can be used for volume compensation and inter-Component gain staging, setting the desired level of the processed signal prior to passing to the adjacent Component in the instantiated RIG.

Precision Parameter Control

When editing a parameter within a given GENOME Component, fine adjustment of the value can be achieved by holding CTRL (PC) / CMD (MAC) whilst dragging.

Parameter Reset

To reset a Component’s parameter to its default value, double-click the parameter name.

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:
  • Tube Model: Choose between 6L6, EL34, EL84 & KT88 Tube Models

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
  • FRONT/BACK Selection: FRONT will place the mic in front of the cabinet, BACK will place the microphone at the rear of the cabinet

Global Controls:

• MIX: Adjusts the balance between the MIC A and MIC B Microphone Channels
• OVERLOAD: Simulates speaker cone break-up
• VARIPHI: The VARIPHI parameter is a one-of-a-kind control, exclusive to Two notes Torpedo and software ecosystem technology. 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

Purpose engineered to load static cabinet IR files - and featuring capacity for 2 static IRs per component instance - the IR loader is primed to load and adapt all your Mono or Stereo .wav, .aiff and .tur files to perfection. Some key features of the IR Loader include:

• Up to two IRs can be loaded in each IR Loader component, edited, and the resulting Output IR used in your RIG
• Loaded IRs can be up to 2 seconds in length. If the IR File is over 2 seconds, the file will be automatically truncated to 2 seconds
• Supported File Formats are .wav, .aiff and .tur in mono; the files can also exhibit different sample rates or bit depths to the current project settings

IR Browser and Selection:

• To select the folder on your host computer’s file system where your IRs are stored, use the Folder icon and navigate to the desired location
• Once a folder has been selected, the left/right buttons will cycle through the IRs in that folder
• The name of the currently loaded IR file is displayed in the IR File Name Text Box
• Clicking the IR File Name Text Box will bring up a drop-down menu where individual IRs can also be selected and loaded
• When an IR is loaded, the Waveform/Info Window displays the IR alongside the specifications of the instantiated IR file

IR Editing Controls: For each IR Channel (IR A and IR B), the following controls are available:

• MUTE: The 'M' button mutes/unmutes the related IR Channel
• PHASE INVERSION: The Ø button inverts the phase of the IR Channel when engaged
• VOLUME: Adjusts IR Channel volume, from -95dB to +12dB

Global Controls: The following global controls are available, affecting but the IR A and IR B channels:

• MIX: Adjusts the balance between the IR A and IR B channels
• OVERLOAD: Simulates speaker cone break-up.
• VARIPHI: The VARIPHI parameter is a one-of-a-kind control, exclusive to Two notes Torpedo and software ecosystem technology. 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

FX Options Submenu: Further controls are available from the FX Options Submenu Icon in the top right of the GUI:

• ALIGN MODE: The following controls are available:
  • NONE: The IR file is processed without changes
  • MIN PHASE: The IR files are automatically configured to be in phase with one another
  • MIN LATENCY: The IR files are placed to generate the minimum possible latency

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.

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

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
• LOOKAHEAD: Sets the LOOKAHEAD from 0ms to 10ms. This parameter forward-analyses signal content resulting in quicker reaction to peaks in the audio signal
  • Note: Using LOOKAHEAD will add latency equal to the lookahead time
• DRY / WET: Controls the volume of the compressed signal relative to the input signal, ideal for implementing 'parallel compression' techniques
• UNLINKED/LINKED: Use these options to determine how the STUDIO Compressor reacts to Stereo Signals:
  • LINKED: Maintains compression for both Left and Right channels regardless of differentials between each channel within the Stereo signal
  • UNLINKED: Configures the STUDIO Compressor to compress Left and Right channels separately and independently
• PEAK/RMS: Determines the mode for the STUDIO Compressor’s signal detection:
  • PEAK: The compressor will be configured to engage on shorter peaks
  • RMS: The compressor will be configured to engage based on an averaged input signal over time

When it comes to tone, primo dynamic- and tone-shaping tools are a certified must-have. Enter GENOME’s STUDIO Enhancer. Complete with ‘Thickness’ and ‘Brilliance’ controls to emphasize the low- and high-end sonic content of your DI signal respectively - plus a super-handy ‘Body’ encoder to dial in a fuller, more present tone - and all rudiments are well-and-truly set to push meteoric sonics whatever your next performance demands.

Within the STUDIO Enhancer, the following parameters are available to configure the component:

• DRY / WET: Sets the volume of the affected signal relative to the input signal
• BODY: Determines the mid-range frequency enhancement amount
• THICKNESS: Determines the low-end frequency enhancement amount
• BRILLIANCE: Determines the high-end frequency enhancement amount

Seeking a radical stereo makeover? Meet GENOME’s TWIN TRACKER - a cutting-edge stereo double tracking wunderkind. Simply fire-it-up to create a proxy - or ‘Virtual Guitarist’ - on the right channel in real-time!

Note: The STUDIO Twin Tracker component will always sum the input to mono, even if it is fed with a stereo signal.

Within the STUDIO Twin Tracker, the following parameters are available to configure the component:

• BALANCE: Determines the position of the affected and source signal within the stereo field
• TIGHTNESS: Controls the level of synchronization/drift of the proxy as well as width of the source- and affected-signal within the Stereo field; higher values for this parameter result in a more extreme double-tracking effect
• OFF/ON: Sets whether the component is bypassed or engaged

Looking to add some low end definition or top-end sizzle to your tone? The STUDIO Exciter is just what the doctor ordered. Fusing a fuss-free interface and an expertly-tuned algorithm, the STUDIO Exciter guarantees to get your tone where you need it fast. The result? You spend less time tweaking and more time on the important business of playing!

Note: The STUDIO Exciter operates somewhat like an EQ; however, instead of boosting frequencies, it adds harmonic content relative to the original signal to predesignated processing bands.

Within the STUDIO Exciter, the following parameters are available to configure the component:

• LOW: Sets the low frequency excitation amount
• HIGH: Sets the high frequency excitation amount
• OUT: Sets whether the component is bypassed or engaged

For our legion of Wall of Sound users, we’ve engineered a specific component that replicates the Post FX suite included in industry standard poweramp modelling, cabinet emulation and virtual mic’ing plugin.

Note: Presets created in Wall of Sound can be imported into GENOME. Preset import is limited in that only the first two DynIR Virtual Cabinets used in the target Wall of Sound preset will be ported into the respective GENOME preset. Upon importing the Wall of Sound preset, multiple qualifying component blocks will be added to the GENOME RIG to recreate the complete Wall of Sound preset.

EQ Section

The Wall of Sound Post FX Component features a Graphic Equalizer to refine your tone by increasing/decreasing the level of specific pre-defined frequencies. Within the Graphic Equalizer, the following controls are available:

Much like you can't have Ying without Yang, no one wants Ping without Pong. Enter GENOME’s full-featured Ping Pong Delay, delivering everything you demand from a PEDAL format fuss-free stereo Delay. Front-and-centre, every mainstay delay-centric control you’d expect is here, plus a raft of unique innovations including a “GROOVE” control to switch up the time-relationship between Ping and Pong repeats for next-level creative rhythmic interplay. In short, if you’re seeking the ultimate fuss-free stereo delay, this is one component you will certainly turn to time-and-time again.

Within Ping Pong Delay the following controls are available to configure Component:

• LOW CUT: Applies a High Pass Filter to the affected signal with a designated range from 10Hz to 5kHz
• DRY/WET: Controls the volume of the delayed signal relative to the input signal
• WIDTH: Defines the Stereo Width of the Ping Pong effect
• FEEDBACK: Controls the number of delay repeats, or the 'regeneration' amount
• HIGH CUT: Applies a Low Pass Filter to the affected signal with a designated range from 100Hz to 20kHz
• TIME Sets the delay time, either in ms, or subdivisions of the beat, depending on the mode selected:
  • ms Mode: Manually sets the delay time from 1ms - 8000ms
  • Note Mode: Sets the delay time to subdivisions of the beat from 1/64 to 8/1
  • Dot Mode: Sets the delay time to dotted subdivisions of the beat from 1/64d to 8/1d
  • Trip Mode: Sets the delay time to triplet subdivisions of the beat from 1/64t to 8/1t
• GROOVE Adjusts the time-relationship between Ping and Pong repeats for creative rhythmic interplay. The PONG control provides a total of 9 options (inclusive of a standard Ping Pong 1:1 setting) resulting in either the Ping’s or Pong’s relative time relationship being 2, 3, 4 or 8 times shorter than the base tempo (TIME) setting.
• TAP TIME: When in ms Mode, this can be used to set the delay time manually by tapping at the desired speed
• EFFECT: Sets whether the component is bypassed or engaged

GENOME provides comprehensive tools to configure your automation preferences in production scenarios. Within GENOME there are two categories of Automation Assignments:

• Hard-coded, non-configurable automation assignments
• 10 User-Configurable Automation Assignments (A1 - A10)

GENOME features a range of hard-coded automation assignments that are exposed to your Digital Audio Workstation. These cannot be edited and are best considered as Global Assignments. Parameters available in the GENOME’s Hard Coded Automation Assignments include:

• Input Level
• Input Gate Enable/Disable
• Input Gate Threshold
• Input Gate Soft/Hard
• Output Level and more.

GENOME also features 10 user-configurable Automation Assignments allowing you to customize your Automation preferences at a RIG level.

Automation Assignments can be managed in 2 ways.

For assignment of individual parameters to one of the 10 user-configurable slots:

• Right click any automatable parameter in a selected GENOME component
• Select “Assign to” and choose an available assignment slot (A1 - A10)
• Once actioned, this assignment will be exposed to your DAW and you will be able to automate this using your DAW’s internal automation options

Alternatively, the Automation Assign / Unassign Window showcases - and allows management of - all User-Configurable Automation Assignments from A1 - A10 in one convenient window:

• Click the Automation button within GENOME’s RIG Config pane to bring up the Automation Assign / Unassign window
• Click the “+” button within an empty Automation Assignment slot from A1 - A10. This highlights in blue all the automatable parameters of the GENOME component you are currently editing / viewing
• Click the desired parameter to Automate to assign that parameter to the Automation Assignment slot
• Note: You are free to navigate through effects while staying in this mode

Removing a User-Configurable Automation Assignment

Either right click an assigned parameter and select unassign, or open the Automation assign / unassign window for batch changes by clicking the X icon to terminate related assignments.

Two notes’ DynIR catalog contains over 700 cabinets. Within GENOME’s DynIR Component, comprehensive facilities are available to preview and purchase any cabinets not assigned to your Two notes License in real-time within the context of your virtual RIG.

Within GENOME’s DynIR Component, the symbols next to the cabinet’s name distinguish whether a cabinet is owned / assigned to your Two notes license or available for demo / preview.

	The preview symbol indicates that the related DynIR is not assigned to your Two notes Account and as such is available for preview only.
	The license symbol indicates the cabinet is owned and therefore available within your Two notes license.

To view cabinets allocated to your Two notes Account license, simply exit Preview Mode by turning off the Preview symbol (circled in red below); you will notice the number of cabinets available in the DynIR Browser is reduced to only those assigned to your Two notes Account (circled in green below).

To preview a cabinet, simply instantiate the related DynIR. You will notice a message is displayed in the DynIR component window warning that silences are inserted while you play. The preview symbol (circled in red below) is also present in the component block of GENOME’s Lane based architecture to indicate at a quick glance that the cabinet loaded is in Preview Mode.
