GeoShred Pro Version 7, with In-App-Purchases for GeoSWAM and Naada instruments on devices running iOS 13 or greater.
Imagine a new kind of musical instrument … An instrument where a performer can fluidly express multiple independent voices. An instrument that is both pitch fluid, and helps the performer precisely reach desired musical pitches in any temperament.
GeoShred is an award-winning, fluidly expressive musical instrument that runs on multi-touch devices.
It has a performance surface with “almost magic” pitch rounding algorithms which is coupled with a model of the physics of several types of musical instruments, support for AUv3, MIDI In/Out, MPE, and 3D Touch. It’s a fusion of Jordan Rudess’ performance concepts and a powerful, modeled guitar/effects based on the Physical Modeling research of Dr. Julius O. Smith III of Stanford/CCRMA. And, GeoShred’s expressive control can be used with other synthesizers.
There are over 200,000 artists over 120 countries perform GeoShred with 40% of those users in India.
