GENOME
GENOME is an amp modeler, effects suite, and virtual cabinet engine for guitar and bass. Its CODEX engine loads Neural Amp Modeler, AIDA-X, and Proteus captures in one workflow, and the product page says it includes more than 40 premium AI amp captures. Signal chains support series or parallel routing, up to 12 components per lane, and dual-lane expansion. GENOME runs standalone or as a VST3, AU, or AAX plugin; listed tested DAWs include Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Cubase, Studio One, and Reaper. Parameter automation, MIDI mapping, and MIDI Learn support external hardware control. The free GENOME Intro includes four TSM-Ai amplifiers, 14 pedals, five DynIR cabinets, and four Studio FX. The GENOME license costs $89.99 as a one-time purchase and includes 24 amps, 49 pedals, 16 DynIR cabinets, and 16 Studio FX, excluding FairTone and Artist Series components. A 14-day free trial is available, and a Two notes account is required. A desktop license does not include GENOME iOS; iOS use requires an Access Pass.
