What's New in GeoShred Control

7000.386.1.500

August 31, 2026

- Fixed GeoPizzBass going silent and reverting to "not purchased" even after Restore Purchases - New — Three new playing surfaces. A preset can now be saved with one of four keyboards: the Isomorphic grid, the Piano Keyboard, the Uniform Keyboard and the Janko Keyboard. Pick the type at the top of Menu > Keyboard. - New — All playing surfaces now support Touch Velocity! Touch Velocity uses iOS/iPadOS device's Accelerometer to measure how hard you tap a note. How hard you tap a note is directly converted into MIDI velocity. - New — All the new playing surfaces support MPE. This means that the Piano Keyboard is an MPE keyboard, the Uniform Keyboard is an MPE keyboard and the Janko Keyboard is an MPE keyboard - New — Asymmetric pitch bend range is now supported for all playing surfaces. For instance, your pitch bend range up could be 24 semitones and your pitch bend range down could be -12. - New — GeoJamTrax backing tracks including: Ode To Pink (Uniform Keyboard), Dirt_Blues, Todd Is God (Piano Keyboard), Tribal, Easy Street, Be-Whole(Janko Keyboard) - New — Three new factory setlists — PKB Keyboard, UKB Keyboard and JANKO Keyboard — 50 presets each one for each instrument type and MIDI Out type - New — Multi-select import. The import file picker now lets you select many presets and setlists and import them all in one go. - New — MIDI Visual Feedback of incoming-note indicators now show both expression axes at once: vertical (CC74) motion moves the indicator up and down while pressure brightens and darkens it — the two no longer fight over the display - New — The Naada plucked-string keyboard presets have a Mono button for legato playing, so you can switch without opening Performance Settings. - New — Strum zones can be turned on and off individually. Double-tap to enable or disable each of the Chords, Strum and Keyboard zones; the remaining zones resize to fill the space, and re-enabling restores your original layout exactly. - New — The standalone GeoShred Studio window is resizable, holding a constant 4:3 aspect ratio as you drag it. Launch and resize flicker are fixed, and the keyboard no longer lays itself over the chord and strum zones after a resize. - New Connect Send can keep the sending device's audio on — a MIDI configuration option, so you can hear both instruments - New MIDI Configuration for Artiphon Chorda. - GarageBand tip: for recording the new keyboards, use the MPE Channel Mode MIDI configuration — and make sure GarageBand's Support MPE setting is turned on (recent GarageBand updates turn it off). - Improved or fixed - MPE, temperaments, sustain, Hammer On Pull Off Legato (aka HOPO), setlist management, visual feedback, startup flow, MOTD context in plugin hosts, handling of hardware interrupts for touches, LinnStrument support, Control Surface picker menu, GeoSWAM Pan, GeoSWAM Course Tune, key edge handling for the AUv3 plugin, strum response to panic, and Channel Pressure handling for conventional MIDI controllers that convert Poly Afertouch to Channel Pressure.

Great instrument

Inspired by the great Jordan Rudess I tried the GeoShred Control and upgraded very soon to Pro and bought some instrument collections. The app runs without problem as AUv3, so can be embedded in bigger setups. But also just by itself it is a pleasure to use, because it is very musical and expressive. Beginning is easy, so first successes come quick. Mastering is another question as with any instrument.
Toto make it short: a great instrument I highly recommend

Amazing & innovative!

I’ve tried many music apps over the years, but GeoShred genuinely feels different. It’s not just another synth app—it’s an expressive instrument that lets you bend, slide, and shape notes in a very natural way.

The sounds are excellent, and when connected to a MIDI keyboard, it becomes even more powerful. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but once you get comfortable with it, the creative possibilities are amazing.

If you’re a keyboard player, music producer, or simply love exploring new ways to make music, GeoShred is absolutely worth trying.

No sound coming :(

Why no sound in free versio

Response from developer

GeoShred Control is NOT an audio app. It's a FREE MIDI MPE controller. The product page clearly explains this. Here is the first line of the product page: "GeoShred Control is a stand-alone MIDI/MPE controller. It does NOT have a Audio Engine". Also first launch brings up a full screen that explains this. If you want an audio version of GeoShred, get GeoShred Play (Blue Icon) or GeoShred Pro (Green Icon). Why don't you reach out to us directly and we can help you ... support@moforte.com

Would like doing chords with Harmonica…😻

Response from developer

The harmonica is polyphonic. Just press on the "Poly" button on the Control Surface.
