Amplifikation 360 vs GENOME

Amplifikation 360 is a modular host for building guitar rigs from Kuassa Amplifikations and Efektor plug-ins. It supports free routing with unlimited devices, plus serial, parallel, and crossover container setups. Live and Toggle modes let users switch sessions or individual modules with a hardware MIDI controller. Other tools include a looper/audio player, chromatic tuner, movable interface panels, and tap tempo that can sync to a DAW master tempo. The app can run standalone or as a VST, VST3, Audio Unit, or AAX plug-in on Windows and macOS. Compatible Amplifikations and Efektor plug-ins a user owns are registered as modules inside it. The free plan includes Amplifikation Lite, Efektor Silencer, Efektor G3607 EQ, seven utility modules, and cab IR loading. Individual compatible plug-ins start at $25 one-time; the Amplifikation 360 Bundle is $299 one-time, with taxes excluded. Amplifikation One modules are not available in the host because they use an older engine architecture. The listed minimums are 64-bit Windows 7 or later, or macOS 10.11 or later, with at least 4 GB RAM. The product page states native Apple Silicon support and macOS notarization with Hardened Runtime.

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.
