Neve Genesys Black G32 G3D Console

Genesys Black

The Ultimate Hybrid Workstation
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.

Legendary Analogue Sound

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

88R 4-Band/1084 3 Band EQ
Two EQ’s for modern or vintage Neve® flavour – Genesys consoles are the only studio consoles to feature digitally controlled, pure analogue EQ processing.

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

Plugin-Style Signal Flow
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.

Huge Routing Capabilities
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.

Modern In-line Architecture
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.

Dolby Atmos Approved
Dolby and Neve’s long-standing partnership led to innovations in the post-production industry, notably the Dolby Atmos integration into the world-leading film console, the DFC3D. Now, by working closely with the Dolby team once again, Neve has developed the first studio console capable of remotely controlling the Dolby Atmos technology.
Three-Dimensional Mixing
For the first time, Engineers and Artists alike can push the boundaries of music production into the three-dimensional Dolby Atmos space. The Genesys G3D allows for object-based mixing of analogue console audio, capable of controlling the metadata of 118 objects, via multiple control methods.
Touch Sensitive Encoders
The comprehensive software package is complimented by innovative hardware upgrades, including a new SSD-based, 64-bit computer system – futureproofing the console for years to come. At the heart of the G3D system, the new G3D monitor panel features new touch-sensitive logicators, each with a 30 segment LED halo - 3D coordinates at a glance.
Plugin Based Automation
Over the years, the Neve Genesys has harnessed the power of DAW-based plugin automation. The new G3D system expands this capability by adding 3D positioning parameters to the Genesys ControlPlugin, allowing for object automation from within the DAW.
Integrated Speaker Management
The latest in pristine DA conversion is the perfect complement to the G3D system. The Neve StarNet ADA16 can be remotely configured and controlled from the G3D system, allowing for hands on control of Dolby Atmos speaker levels directly from the console surface. The binaural headphone render can feed into the Genesys built-in headphone amp, integrating the Dolby Atmos system into the console, removing the need for awkwardly interfaced external gear.
Unparalleled Digital Control
The Genesys G3D hardware features a bank of new dedicated software-specific controls for the Dolby Atmos Renderer. Integrating software functions into a tactile hardware control surface allows for unparalleled control of the Dolby Atmos Renderer from the console surface, speeding up your workflow.
Powerful object-based system capable of metadata control over all 118 objects.
Plugin based automation system via Genesys ControlPlugin enhancement.
Remotely configure and control speaker outputs from the console surface (7.1.4, 9.1.4, or 9.1.6.)
Touch-sensitive logicators for improved object automation.
Dedicated Dolby Atmos Renderer control switches, for a tactile Atmos workflow.
3D attenuation control from the console surface allows for a ‘hands-on’ approach to Dolby Atmos monitoring.
Binaural headphone routing integrates the console’s powerful headphone amp into the Dolby Atmos system.

Unique Hybrid Workflow

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

Multitouch Screen
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.

Hybrid Workstation
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.

Total DAW Integration
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.

Plug & Play Audio Interface
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.

Mastering-Grade Conversion
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.

GenesysControl Automation

Plugin/Console Integration
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 Automation
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.

EQ & Dynamics Automation
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.

Stereo Linking & Channel Naming
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.

Dual-Layer Automation
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.

Mastering-Section Controls
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.
