AnalogX has expanded its Genesis neural analog modeling platform with Genesis Pro, a new edition that can offload supported processing from the CPU to compatible graphics hardware. It uses GPU Audio’s Soundcore technology and adds support for NAM A2 models.
Genesis Pro builds on the existing Genesis platform rather than introducing a separate plugin ecosystem. Genesis Core remains available as the CPU-based edition, while Pro adds GPU processing for compatible systems.
GPU Acceleration and Neural Modeling
The main difference between Genesis Core and Genesis Pro is GPU support. Core runs on the CPU, while Pro can process supported models using either the CPU or a compatible GPU. AnalogX uses GPU Audio’s Soundcore technology to enable GPU processing.
Genesis hosts neural models based on analog studio equipment, including compressors, equalizers, consoles, tape machines, preamps, and channel strips. Its expansion library also includes saturation and other processing tools. AnalogX lists more than 150 expansions, although the available models depend on the packs installed.
Each Genesis instance provides four independent profile slots for loading and combining models. The platform supports NAM A1 and A2 profiles, True Stereo loading, and AnalogX’s HQ v2 modeling technology.
System Requirements and Compatibility
Genesis supports VST3, AU, and AAX formats. GPU processing requires compatible hardware:
- macOS: Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, M4, or M5, running macOS 13.0 or later. At least 16 GB of RAM is required; 32 GB is recommended.
- Windows: NVIDIA RTX 2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000 series GPUs, or AMD RX 7000 or 9000 series cards, with at least 8 GB of VRAM.
AnalogX recommends an NVIDIA RTX 3060 with 12 GB of VRAM or an AMD RX 6700 XT with 12 GB. The company also requires up-to-date graphics drivers and does not support drivers delivered through Windows Update. These requirements apply to GPU processing; Genesis Core runs on the CPU.
AnalogX provides a detailed list of supported hardware and system requirements.
Pricing and Availability
Genesis Core costs £39.99, while Genesis Pro is priced at £89.99. The upgrade from Core to Pro costs £50. Core includes six expansion packs, compared with nine in Pro. A 14-day free trial is available for both editions.
AnalogX is offering 30% off Genesis and its expansion packs with the code GENESIS30 through November 30, 2026. The company has not confirmed whether the discount applies to the Core-to-Pro upgrade.
The current version is 2.2.4. This update fixes several issues, including GPU instances failing to produce audio after a project is reopened, wet/dry timing misalignment in hosts with varying buffer sizes, and problems with profile loading.
For mixing engineers using neural analog models, Genesis Pro offers GPU processing as an alternative to CPU-based operation. Whether that makes a meaningful difference depends on the available graphics hardware and the demands of the session. GPU acceleration does not, by itself, change the sound of the models.
