GENOME has been specified to work seamlessly alongside our all-analog reactive loadbox, the Captor.

Considerations for all Captor Setup Scenarios

As GENOME is a plugin application, you will need to have the following studio peripherals available to integrate Captor into a GENOME-centric workflow

• An audio interface with suitable line level inputs
• A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in which GENOME can be instantiated
• Suitable cabling to connect Captor to your audio interface

For real-time playback, configuring your audio settings within your DAW is paramount:

• Make sure you are using the latest drivers of your audio interface
• For Windows, if your audio interface does not have dedicated drivers, use the third-party ASIO4ALL driver
• 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 artefacts are no longer audible. For guides on setting your audio preferences in all mainstream DAWs, please refer to the following articles:
1. "Logic Pro"
2. "Ableton Live"
3. "Pro Tools"
4. "Cubase"
5. "Studio One"
6. "GarageBand"
• Finally, if your interface features a zero-latency monitoring/direct monitoring option, please ensure this is disabled to avoid hearing your GENOME-processed and DI signal simultaneously

Technical Setup

1. Connect Captor’s ¼-inch Line or XLR output into your audio interface
   
2. Create an audio track in your DAW and configure its input and output routing in accordance with the input and output specifications of your interface
   
3. Load GENOME on the audio track to apply the plugin's effects to your Captor signal 
   

Using GENOME in a Setup Where Captor is Sending the Amp Signal With the Analog Speaker Simulation Engaged 

In this setup, CAPTOR sends the full amp signal to GENOME through its DI (XLR) output with the SPKR SIM switch set to either GTR or BASS. For optimal tonal results, do not use the following Components in GENOME:

• TSM Amplifiers or CODEX
• Drive PEDALS
• The DynIR Engine or IR Loader (this processing is already provided by the Captor)

You can then use GENOME’s suite of Post FX to build on your tone, and use GENOME’s Dual Lane routing options to create stereo Post FX rigs.

Using GENOME in a Setup Where Captor is Sending the Dry Amp Signal From its LINE Output

In this setup, Captor is providing the foundation tone from the source amplifier.

 For optimal tonal results, do not use the following Components in GENOME:

• TSM Amplifiers or CODEX
• Drive PEDALS

You can then use GENOME’s suite of Post FX to build on your tone and use GENOME’s dual lane routing options to create stereo cab and Post FX rigs.
