Genesys Black's ground-breaking design incorporates the Neve industry revered analogue circuit design alongside the AMS world-leading digital control technology. The result? The perfect console for today’s hybrid studios.

Each analogue channel strip features digitally-controlled 1073 preamps with exclusive Marinair transformers.

88R and 1084, two EQs for modern or vintage Neve flavour - Genesys consoles are the only studio consoles to feature digitally controlled, pure analogue EQ processing.

The VCA dynamics card, evolved from the 88RS console channel dynamics, provides a digitally controlled Compressor/Gate/Expander for every channel strip.

Customise your analogue signal flow with the drag-and-drop processing order feature. Reorder analogue processing as if it was a software plugin - EQ, Dynamics, and dual-inserts.

Eight aux sends and eight group busses with soft switching & digital routing matrix control speed up studio workflow, automatically handling all routing for every session.

The dual input in-line channel strip doubles the channel count when mixing large sessions, with motorised faders providing total dual-layer control of all signal paths.

With a bandwidth that surpasses high sample rate digital audio quality, the Genesys Black’s high headroom mix bus, derived from the 88R console, is enhanced with powerful digital control elements.

Two stereo and two surround loudspeaker outputs, mirrored with stereo and surround external inputs, deliver unparalleled monitoring options for any studio.

The consoles PPM/VU scale 48-segment LED meters use 88R ballistics to deliver total accuracy for channel, groups, and mix signals.

With a digital routing matrix, LCR panning system, 20 bussing paths and multiple outputs, the Genesys Black can mix in stereo, and 5.1 surround simultaneously.

Eight mono groups, each with insert, routing, bussing and analogue/digital direct output, are perfect for stem mixing, and the 2T bus is ideal for creating dual-stereo mixes from the same console pass.

Four digitally-controlled stereo reverb returns are ideal for connecting multiple external FX units, and two dedicated cue mixers are perfect for meeting performer demands.

Every Setting on the Genesys Black can be recalled in a matter of minutes. The 1073s, EQ, Dynamics, soft switches, routing and motorized faders are automatically recalled at the push of a button.

The central multitouch screen is the perfect host for your DAW, providing accurate, hands-on control of all DAW mix and edit parameters with customisable touch response.

16 Dedicated DAW faders, mutes, cuts, solos, and automation provide total control over in-the-box mixes at all times, with the ability to flip all console faders into DAW mode for the ultimate hybrid workflow.

Expanded transport controls with marker keys, scrub wheel, & custom keyboard armrest with integrated USB sockets make the Genesys Black the perfect creative workstation for modern music production.

The Genesys Black AD/DA cards handle all conversion internally, connecting via multi-mode MADI optical. With this option installed, all signal paths flow into a single USB cable allowing ultimate plug-and-play for visiting engineer laptops.

The optional MADI AD/DA converter cards for the Genesys Black have been pitted against the best names in the business and stood out for their clarity, quality and musicality.

Control and automate the console from the DAW with the one-of-a-kind automation plugin. Harness the power and speed of in-the-box workflow while reaping all the benefits of Neve analogue console sound.

Channel strip soft switches can be controlled from within the DAW; aux sends, processing activation, and hardware insert activation can now be automated from the linear DAW timeline.

The consoles 1084 or 88R EQ and complete dynamics section controls appear within a fully interactive GUI plugin window, allowing for ultimate control, automatic recall, and automation from your DAW of choice.

Channels can be stereo linked at the push of a button, including channel EQ, dynamics, soft switches and faders. The console scribble strips can be edited from within the DAW plugin, perfectly matching console settings to the DAW session.

The GenesysControl plugin enables a powerful feature - automation of the small fader or monitor return. With the plugin installed, the console dual-channel count is enhanced with total control & automation of all mix signals.

Not only can every channel strip be controlled and automated from within the DAW, but the GenesysControl Plugin Master GUI also enables complete control of the 8T Group channels, fader, stereo master fader, stereo mix inserts and reverb return levels.
