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

Unexpected bundle of joy

I bought this as an introduction to MPE and now it’s turned into one of my main MPE compatible sound libraries!

Very Poor

No sound coming from the app at all! Disappointed

This opens up worlds of new creation

This app is amazing and opens new way to be creative as much in song writing and will be an ad on, as on my playing on stage. Have not tried it yet in a live sesh but i cant wait to try it out. Will update after i have done so.

Amazing, no sound on this version, but still an amazing free offer!!!

Understand what this app is before complaining about the sound!!
I first heard of GeoShred through Rick Beato on YT. I downloaded this free version but was unsure how it worked since I’m very new to digital music interfacing. I emailed these guys and Pat Scandalis, who I believe helped create, this app replied to my email within a couple hours. He explained what I was and wasn’t getting with this free version very nicely and professionally, despite my obvious ignorance. after some research, I understand now how valuable this software is that I’m getting for free! This is a company and use people that are worth supporting five stars all the way.

I can’t believe this MPE controller is free!

I see all the complaints that it doesn’t make sound. But I think people misunderstand, it’s an MPE MIDI controller. I wouldn’t expect it to make sound. I could’ve spent close to $1000 for a Roli Seaboard, or a LinnStrument. But this free MPE controller does the same thing as those expensive controllers and more.

this is old, get the new player, this is amazing

as the title says, is the first really pro touch instrument, very good.

There’s no noise

This doesn’t send Bluetooth midi to a Mac Studio.

GeoShred Studio works on my Mac, and I‘ve bought the guitar instruments, which I can play using my midi keyboard. The controller app is useless, it doesn’t work via Bluetooth. I’m a bit reluctant to pay £50 a time for the various SWAM instruments, because if they’re all MPE then they aren’t going to work with my keyboard and I’m not wasting my money on them.

crash

this app crashes my DAW 9f I try to load it. I could not even open my DAW since it is scanning all my AUV3-s and it crashes when it tries to load this. I had to uninstall it just to be able to open it.

Response from developer

Please reach out to us directly, support@moforte.com GeoShred Control is an AUv3 plugin and should not crash your DAW. Note that the major difference between AUv2 and Auv3 plugins is that the are not running in the DAW process space and if they die they should NOT crash the host. We would really like to solve this for you and the whole GeoShred Community. Pleach reach out to us at support@moforte.com

A wonderful and stable app and a fantastic support.

I am Music Composer from India. I use this app on my iPad. My major use is with Naada instruments and as an MPE controller. I only faced an issue with the app once, and it was resolved by the team in less than 24 hours. It works like a charm. I highly recommend recommend it.
P.S. I use the pro upgrade of course.

Free version is too light

Not enough freedom in the free version to decide if it’s worth getting.

No sound

I know it's not a sythinazier but a controller to control sound but I got this app on my iPad and I have no clue on how to get my iPad to my computer.

Doesn’t connect to Windows

I can’t find anything useful to tell me how to connect to Windows 11. There was a YouTube video that said to use Studiomux. One reviewer said that studiomux didn’t work

UI is nowhere near as fluid as it should be.

The UI for G-Control is overly complex and honestly an eyesore in comparison to “Polyplayground”; a beautifully intuitive midi controller by the producer Mike Gao which works with all the swam instruments plus any other instrument ap you could think of, lets you design your synth natively for midi or audio export and doesn’t ask for repeated in-app purchases to gain full access to its features.

Sorry to devs but the whole set up of this in conjunction with the other instrument apps just seems like an attempt to charge as much as possible.

Overall not good value for money in comparison to older, more thoughtfully developed iOS programmes.
