GENESYS DIGITAL CONTROL : ANALOGUE PATH : NEVE SOUND

GENESYS

From time to time, sea changes happen in music recording. Very often you will find AMS Neve at the heart of these changes. From the earliest days of largely writing the rule book in creating the most musical of analogue consoles - through moving fader automation – to heralding the dawn of the digital age with fully automated consoles and sampling, not to mention the first introduction of viable hard disk recording, AMS Neve is there. First.

Well, here we go again. The future starts NOW! Genesys is the way it will be done going forward. Neve engineers have gone right back to the roots of what a console is all about. Analysing from first principles exactly what is, and what is not, needed for the way music is recorded today. Introducing the Neve Genesys – a new beginning.

Genesys comes with everything needed for a fully equipped studio in a single unit (just add microphones, monitoring and music) and so replaces the usual tangled mess of rack gear, wires and patchbays. BUT it can also be expanded all the way to the client-entrancing centrepiece of a world class studio. Whatever the size of your facility Genesys fits the bill neatly, perfectly and beautifully.

Genesys (in fact all good music) starts here: Neve Microphone preamps – Neve wrote the rule book and Genesys has 16 world class mic pres per basket. Buy any other kind of console and you’d still have to buy these if you truly love sound. Completely resettable switching. Things move fast these days, and every switch on Genesys is “soft” and under computer control for instant reset/recall. Swap between tracks

Powerful and Comprehensive – Studio infrastructure in a box – just add Mac/PC, monitoring and music.

Major mixing power from even the smallest configuration – 32 channel mix from 16-fader system.

Digital control, pure Neve analogue sound - choose from Neve 1084 inductor based EQ, Dynamics, Digital inputs and outputs and Motorised channel faders with Encore Automation.

Enormous scalability – smooth forward path from powerful personal system to definitive premier room, expandable to 64 faders with 128 inputs.

as your creativity takes you. Ah, I hear you say, but what about my EQ and Dynamics? Well, the EQ and dynamics cassettes available for Genesys give you the absolute best of both worlds. Neve analogue path with classic EQ performance using inductors, but completely resettable. New dynamics complete the picture.

The heart of Genesys is an incredibly powerful but compact monitoring section with features approaching those of the world standard 88R in terms of power. Perfect for today - and when you want to do REALLY clever things there is power to spare and Genesys will take you there. See the music - 88R style high visibility, ruby meters let you see clearly how you’re performing at a distance .

So far, so good, but then the integral workstation integration kicks in. Prepare to be amazed at how large a mix the 16 fader/32 input configuration can easily digest, but if you need even more simply expand later up to 64 faders (128 inputs) as requirements and budget allow. Add industry standard, cross platform Encore moving fader automation, integrated Neve digital converters (not to mention the twin insert paths on each strip for your favourite classic outboard) and 5.1 capability (that’s built in, by the way).

Finally, it’s very well worth remembering that most AMS Neve equipment ever made is still running and making money for its owners today – AMS Neve’s policy of avoiding obsolescence preserves your investment. Genesys – all things to all (well, most) people.
