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.
