Man oh man, they brought back the classic moForte guitar

I love this app! It was one of the first guitar strumming apps in the App Store, 12 years ago, that actually modeled a real guitar, including strumming and some kind of AI based strumming. Glad they brought it back!

Make this usable

Please. I decided not to apply for the refund because, well, someday you’ll make this usable, right? And it’s cheap. All those settings and this is virtually worthless. If you’re going to leave this as is, you should consider detaching the wonderful GeoShred from it’s mentioned association. Thanks.

Absolutely Incredible!

This is by far the best app for disabled guitar players on the App Store! It has unfortunately been abandoned.. please resurrect this ingenious creation!

Not at all what I was expecting or hoping for.

I’ve been looking for something that can replace the guitar touch instrument in garage band, I use Auria and Apple made it a huge pain to export anything recorded in garage band to anything other than logic, but I haven’t been able to find anything on iOS that sounds better or even close to as good as garage bands virtual guitar so after reading the reviews for this app I had hoped that maybe finally something was out that could compete with GB... this is not that. I have GeoShred and while I like the way the app handles as a controller I think it sounds pretty bad as far as realism goes, so I don’t know what I was really expecting out of this but there’s really nothing I like about it if I’m being honest. It sounds super artificial, but even if it sounded great I have yet to find any midi settings so controlling it with anything else doesn’t seem to be an option... all around I regret to purchase. It was only a few dollars but considering it doubtful the app will ever be opened again it’s a few dollars I wish I could have back.

Da Bomb!

Still by & far the best virtual guitar on the iPhone!

One step away from greatness

All apps I buy have to meet the criteria of doing something that no other app I already own can do. MoForte Guitar achieves this, with its methods of play. Lovely sounds, great to have IAA, and for me that vital AudioBus support. To make it a 5 star app, the developers should include Retina class graphics, to properly take advantage of today's quality. At present the graphics look like yesterday.

Hidden treasure

I found this app by after acquiring Geoshred. This is a killer app. the sequencer allows you to construct songs that you can embellish while recording its output with Audiobus or IAA. This is a great companion to Geoshed. You monitor the chords selected when you build your charts. The results surpass anything available on IOS or anything but a physical guitar.
However, I wish I could record and export a wav file.
This app clearly does not get the recognition that it's due.

Great Tones

I really love the sound of this app! The tones are very good and I like some of the guitar-like sensibility built into the sounds such as palm muting, harmonics, feedback, and pick-up selection. I'm rating this four stars for these reasons. As a guitarist the tones speak for themselves. However as a guitarist, the lack of MIDI implementation hinders me. I use a guitar-like MIDI controller to play synths and other MIDI instruments. I would pay for the following features: MIDI implementation over all parameters, the addition of middle single coil pick-up and the "in between" single coil sounds. No one produces a modeled guitar application like this one. Keep up the good work!

Prog Fan

MoForte is revolutionary. I love it.

moForteGuitar rocks!

Move over Ted Nugent, there is better technology. This app is awesome! The acoustics sound just like a real guitar, with one key exception; you can play moForte as if you had a dozen fingers. What guitar player wouldn't love that?

moforte guitar app

I'm using the App for performance and composition. The gesture controls, feedback and distortion are super realistic. I've barely started digging into all of Moforte Guitar's features but so far it's very impressive!!

Great sounding app, just needs that little bit more

This app sounds fantastic, its easy to play, i can think of 2 improvements which would make it 5 stars.

1. I would love this app to be audiobus compatible for use with other effects and DAW's
2. I would find it more usable if the mute and harmonic buttons were momentary, or have the option to change to this in the settings, so that it only plays the mute/harmonic when your finger is on the button, then reverts to an ordinary strike when released. It would add so much more expression to the sound

Otherwise, this app is incredible!

Nothing for nothing

I couldn't get this app to work. Seemed like a great thing from watching the trailer for it but I couldn't seem to get it do what was shown in the video. App deleted.

Its all about the sound!

This app makes me sound like a pro, but you really have to be a guitar player to appreciate all of the features. It takes a little while to understand all of its capability but worth the effort. Amazing sound!

Amazing!

I feel like Van Halen when I'm doing the solos and feedback effect

Feedback and distortion very unique for an guitar app!

I coudn't believe the feedback effect this app has. I mean the distorted guitar
in GarageBand is pretty cool, but this thing is way beyond anything I've heard.

Very cool video tutorials, I feel like I could get in there in make some pretty
decent charts for my own songs.

I'd like to see a way to print the chart as a standard lead sheet so I could
give to other musicians I'm playing with.

The string response is quite amazing in this version

I figured out you can do really cool stuff with the strings - scraping, hitting with multiple fingers especially sound good. You can get a good finger picking groove going with this app.

Also, it’s cool you can grab the audio recordings out of the Documents folder with iTunes

Awesome guitar simulation

I like the fact that I can really learn how to play guitar on this. I am using it as a way to help me understand rhythm and it keeps my listening skills in shape! I think it’s cool it also gives you the versatility of making your own recordings, especially with all those filters.
