        Hi Jason,

        Will Genome be an upgrade (free or payed) from WoS; or will it be released as a completely new simulator? Will WoS owners be completely abandoning their system for the sake of M1 compatibility?

        • Jason Wilding says:

          Genome will be a completely new product, but if you are experienced in Wall of Sound you will be able to navigate it very quickly and enjoy all the new features it brings! Genome represents a massive upgrade from WoS, so it will be an easy decision to make!

          • William Lewis says:

            Hi Jason. I’m a bit intrigued by you not answering Uğur’s first question about Genome being a free or paid product, I’d assume paid as it’s a new product. That’s great with me! However, I’m by far mostly concerned with the usage of the word “subscription” when signing up for the beta. Can you please confirm if Genome will be subscription-only once publicly released? Thank you in advance.

            Hi William, Ross from Two notes here. There will be a free version of GENOME available to all Two notes Registered users. There will also be paid variants offering enhanced feature specs. At present there are no plans for any subscription based model. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with here!

    Hi,
    I’ve recently bought a Captor 16 and I’ve been trying to download WoS. I’ve found out it’s not compatible with M1 and Monterey. I’ve looked at signing up for the Genome beta, but the link isn’t working for me. Anyone help?
    Thanks

      Hey Callum, can you contact us through the helpdesk please – we can get you up and running! support.two-notes.com

      Thank you!

    come on… It’s been plenty enough time why is this not native? It’s so sluggish as it is on my Mac Studio Max.. I had to stop using it. Literally would make a session come to a crawl.
    companies new Silicon Mac was coming.. Fab Filter, PA many others quickly made updates.. I still hate UAD isn’t all the way Native yet only their UADx.. But I’m so deep in that Eco system I can’t bail. But I wish this was native. I’ve had several projects I had to remove this because I couldn’t figure out why my session slowed down. I removed this plugin and it was totally normal. Which seems weird but I tested it a few more times and sure enough I can not use it now.. shame,.

      Hi Ronni,

      Thanks for getting in touch. We hear your concerns and have forwarded these over to our development team. One thing you may want to try is GENOME – you can register for the Beta here which as been optimised for Native use.

      https://www.facebook.com/groups/twonotesthegenome

      This will offer you similar compatibility to Wall of Sound + a lot more. In addition, we are working on making Wall of Sound presents compatible with GENOME.

    I’ve been waiting some kind of DynIR capability Apple Silicon – I believe it’s been over two years now!

    I had purchased several DynIR Cabinets and used to use them with my Captor X and with my Revv D20. I cannot use DynIRs in the WoS plugin, as it was unreliable and sluggish. For now, I’m using Helix and Helix Native to do the job, and only using the straight DI from my Two Notes attenuator and amp.

    Are there any updates on when Genome will be released? I’d applied to beta test many many moons ago…

    I do not have facebook and I don’t want it.
    I am using Cubase 13 and no Wall of Sound. Can you please release native support? Or, just add me to the GENOME beta?
    Thanks!

    • ross says:

      Good afternoon Larry, Thank you for getting in touch. Sadly the GENOME beta is only accessible through Facebook at this juncture. Native Support will not be actioned for Wall of Sound as this will be superseded by GENOME that will have full native support. In the interim, you could run Rosetta to use Wall of Sound with your M1 / M2 mac. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning this!

    I understand the notion of product lifecycles, however, as a user, I am mostly interested in being able to maintain a somewhat stable operating environment. I expect the businesses I rely on to support software products through an extended lifecycle and to be capable of surviving hardware evolutions. As WoS is currently your flagship product, it seems a short-sighted decision to abandon development in the Apple silicon environment.

    Given that development of WoS ARM functionality isn’t being pursued, what incentive do I have to purchase Genome when it’s released if I have no confidence that it will survive the next round of hardware upgrades? If it’s Two Notes intent to retain me as a customer, why am I faced with having to abandon a product I use and like? Yes I can run it in Rosetta with the added burden the translation software adds to processing, yes, Genome will dazzle me but, I am familiar with WoS and feel a wee bit of coercion to make a paid upgrade is being applied. It’s not a good look and kind sours me a bit on the brand. Perhaps a free upgrade for existing users is a comprise your Sales department and Board can consider.

    Also, as a matter of good internet security, I never, ever go to Facebook. The fact that this platform is your choice for software distribution makes me question your judgment. I sure hope your software isn’t as invasive and predatory as Facebook’s, cause that would be a permanent deal breaker.

    • ross says:

      Good morning Dave, Thank you for getting in touch. We do understand your concerns and we are pleased to confirm that we have a plan in place for our current Wall of Sound Customers in terms of upgrading to GENOME. As an added bonus there will also be Wall of Sound Preset import available. If you have any questions concerning this, please do not hesitate to let us know.

    WoS, much as I liked it, is not worth me having to run my entire DAW in Rosetta for (https://support.two-notes.com/knowledgebase.php?article=391).

    Into the dustbin of history. I’d have considered buying the next plug in but I have no faith you will support that – given your lackluster dedication to WoS and its user base. Do I get a refund for my IRs because you made my investment redundant? I didn’t think so.

    • ross says:

      Good morning Basil,

      Thank you for getting in touch. Please note, Wall of Sound was released in 2023 and we felt that it was indeed in need of an overhaul in order that our DynIR platform continues to offer value to our end users. GENOME will offer a lot more than Wall of Sound feature wise and will form the core of our software ecosystem; as such we expect a long lifetime on this product as it will be integral to our wider hardware ecosystem moving forwards, If you have any questions concerning this, please do not hesitate to let us know.
