What's New in GeoShred

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.

Tip Top …

Une des meilleures app sur iPad.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ et la ⭐️

Une mise à jour monumentale qui redéfinit l'expression musicale ! 🔥

GeoShred franchit un cap exceptionnel avec cette mise à jour. Le travail fourni par l’équipe est tout simplement fantastique et mérite amplement ces 5 étoiles.

Ce qui change radicalement la donne :

· 4 surfaces de jeu (Isomorphique, Piano, Uniforme, Janko) toutes compatibles MPE. Une liberté totale !
· Le nouveau Touch Velocity exploite l’accéléromètre pour une vélocité ultra-réaliste au toucher.
· L’interface est plus claire, plus fluide, et les performances sont optimisées, même pour les projets en DAW.

Les bugs signalés (comme celui des instruments Naada) ont été corrigés avec réactivité, preuve d’une écoute attentive de la communauté. La stabilité et la connectivité MPE sont au top.

GeoShred n’est pas une simple app, c’est un instrument à part entière, récompensé et reconnu. Cette mise à jour le hisse encore plus haut. Un immense bravo aux développeurs pour ce travail d’orfèvre. Si vous aimez la musique expressive, n’hésitez pas une seconde.

C’est un sans-faute. 👏

すごく良いから日本語にも対応してほしい

音がすごくかっこいい!操作も感覚的にできて最高だけど、英語わからなくて使いきれない機能がたくさんになっちゃうのもったいない

So playable

I love the playability of this control surface, and the physical modeling is great. Would love to have an electric bass in here; as far as I know there are no electric bass options on the App Store.

Interesting

Too soon to tell. Good sounds immediately. Need to integrate it. Weird using an IPad like this. Pretty intuitive.

Great app, works great and is relaxing

Within a couple of days the GeoShred app updates were rolled out that fixed my issue. Thanks!
