Fwiw, I wasn't exactly complaining about the CPU usage. When using NAM profiles and switching oversampling off, CPU usage is absolutely acceptable in most cases.
And now please look at the load times and (even more) the capture organisation.
And oh yes: Welcome, much appreciated!

Norminal and JiveTurkey sorry I must be too old now, or I don't have the ref. :)
Sascha yes loading times optimization is in the works and we also have some new stuff coming most probably after the summer.

Fine.
In case you need someone else to seriously put any kind of beta through its paces, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Hey guillaume !
I've suggested this in the past to Ross and Amy.
Is there any possibility (?) / prospect (?) that the Opus could be FW Updated such that it could allow an Opus user to select the 10 Amps they actually want from the current list of ~15 or so Amps that have been so far released (?) ... this way, Opus users are not stuck with the pre-determined list of 10 that currently come with the Opus (?)
I think this would be a great Opus selling point and I cant really see how it would compromise the Genome Software.
Alternately .... if an Opus owner buys and owns an Opus Pedal -and also- buys and owns Genome .... this is a %100 win/win .... and no reason why - other than FW to allow it - for the Opus owner to pick and choose the 10 Amps they want on their Opus Pedal !
Maybe however there is already a Two Notes Genome Hardware Pedal on the cards ... and the Genome Software product is the test-base-proving-ground for such a hardware pedal .. which would make perfect sense
Ben

Still no capture file management (let alone folder management). How meh do you want to be? TN: Yes!

And Bogner Ecstasy, which i'm super stoked about (the Lextac ampsim is still my fav ampsim to this day).

just reinstalled Genome to check out whats been added recently. Poweramp modelling seems "incomplete" to me - you can crank everything to 10 and it doesn't change the way a real amp would. The poweramp modelling in general seems a bit suspect to me - if an amp doesn't have negative feedback then don't add traditional controls. Some models sound OK but IMO they aren't things I'd ever pay for considering what else is available out there.
Also - no mono-> mono version (WHY?!), no standalone. I was on the initial big group beta thing and expressed a load of these points, and quickly got the sense that this plugin just won't cater for what I'd want it to be. There's good stuff in here but I wish they'd slow down and get the basics right before charging on adding more and more to it.
YMMV, for someone else its probably good enough and nice to use to the point that the negatives arent important.

Are you sure about this ?
You can :
- set the input to "mono from ..."
- and then if you add only mono blocks and/or don't use a second lane, logically you're outputting mono as well
A simple TSM amp / DynIR chain is mono i think.

yeah, I'm not talking about the internal processing of the plugin, but how it communicates with a DAW.
This is the only option we have - so if I start with a mono audio track, if I add Genome, no matter what I am doing inside of Genome, its outputting a stereo signal. My track will go from having a single pan knob to 2 pan knobs, and any subsequent plugins I add will have to be stereo (or dual mono).
Here is how literally every other developer does it, because it makes way more sense:

iNTERESTING !
What DAW do you use ?
I'm using REAPER and having stereo/mono plugins doesn't really matter (Reaper tracks can do both mono or stereo, and they're the same) so i've never really paid attention to that, nor had a problem with it.
In my Reaper session, the track that has Genome on it (and nothing else) has only 1 pan knob...

Pro Tools. Pro Tools can also freely change between track types, but its up to the user to decide what the track should be and how you want the plugin to behave on it.
What Reaper is showing you is kind of simplifying what is going on under the hood, so even if you can't see an issue with how its handled, its not an optimal approach.

Alright.
The thing is, with Reaper, the "issue" you're having with PT (and most other DAWs i guess, or at least those with which you have to choose between stereo or mono tracks) is non existent. At least in my own experience.

right, but hiding the issue is different to solving it. It’s just better overall if Two Notes handle it properly

Sure.
Just saying that it might be an issue only for certain users.

Seriously, IMO their capture player block is just excellent. I could craft each and every amp sound I'd ever needed in there without ever reaching for any extra EQ (the tonestack and the internal graphic EQ plus the Enhancer are just fine).
But that file management is as bad as it gets. I mean, it's not existing anyway, but it's even worse than that because when you click the folder icon, it doesn't even remember the last used folder, so you have to go back all the way to your home folder (under macOS at least). Wtf? I mean, it displays the content of the last selected folder in the pulldown menu but doesn't manage to start within that folder should you wish to go elsewhere? Add to this that you can't work with multiple folders - unless you want to go back to your home folder all the time.
That's as much messing up "folder organisation 101 for dummies" as it gets already.
But as if that wasn't enough yet, in case a capture is missing, it's telling you the name, but there's no way to search/locate it from inside the plugin. You can't copy the filename of the missing capture, either, so you need to stare at it and manually write it into whatever search box your OS is supplying.
And let's not even remotely think about a backup option (so you could copy capture and IR files into song folders, backup the entire shebang and what not).
Are they planning to have babies with Line 6? Because the HX IR relocation functionality (which actually doesn't exist at all) is right up that alley.
And yes, these are serious issues. Risk of losing data. Which is ridiculous in 2024, given that by now all popular operating systems (at least Windows and macOS) are just friggin' excellent at managing piles of data. But hey, let's just re-invent the wheel and come up with a triangle. No hold on, let's rather re-invent the wheel and come up with nothing.
