Amazing response

Such a great tool for learning and making music.

I’m not paying

No in app purchases

Engineer

All of a sudden the sound is muted only in this app !

Super app

Smooth and soft playing

Shameful Theft

What can one say? It’s not GeoSynth. It’s too similar, but inferior, & it’s no coincidence.

Great Application

Best music appreciation

An underrated app

I see other reviewers saying this app is a knock off of GeoShred but I’m not sure what their point is. Yes, it has “shred” in the name but it’s also a good app in its own right and should be judged independently. The grid keyboard layout is nicely done (and did not originate with GeoShred, by the way) and it works fine, and many of the sounds are quite good. The oboe certainly sounds nice and I like the piano as well. I just wish MIDI would be added.

Logic for iPad issue

The entire reason I purchased this app was to use as an auv3 MIDI instrument in login for iPad. However it doesn’t show up as an available audio unit in the list for both logic or garage band. Would be 5 stars otherwise. However this is very disappointing. If there is a guide on how to get it working with logic that would be great. Otherwise if it can be updated to allow this integration that would be appreciated too.

Tx very nice instrument

Best quality sound

Awesome app

This app is cool

More like Geosynth than Geoshred

Very nice samples and functionality for basic play. Love the ability to add columns and rows and the old Rob Fielding GSy layout, ability to select mono/poly. I was excited to see this as I actually liked GSy better in ways than GSh though Wizdom techs thought I was crazy to say so. More limited than GSy without equivalent pitchbend function, no legato types as in GSy (better in no MIDI, no AUM - if those were added and with the Holy Grail of velocity touch sensitivity (early GS had but lost in subsequent versions) I would pay for pro without thinking twice. It is limiting not to be able to use with DAWs etc. Great effort and I might upgrade if it the dev advances the feature set, or makes another app more advanced in a similar vein like a MIDI controller for AUM, but only with the all important slide/pitchbend, concerning which Rob Fielding’s code for CANTOR (GSy precursor but absolutely just as good) is according to him now OPEN SOURCE!

I want to like this but missing key features.

Without AUV3 or at least IAA the usefulness of this app is really limited. Add that and this is a 4 star app.

Bad knock off of GeoShred

They even plagiarized part of the product description from GeoShred. I feel tricked by downloading this product.

I lost my money and asking to buy again. Fraud app

Thank you for the response. One question. Why are the notes not sliding on the pad instead they sound individual notes? Isn’t that included with the app?

Response from developer

Hi, you do not have to pay again, just open any locked feature and there is a button on top left to restore the purchase. Your all purchases will be back.

Nice finger instrument

Enjoyed the app . Got a quick response from the Owner of the app regarding restore app problem . Now everything working good. Expecting sliding option in next update even for small$$ in app purchase. Thank you for the virtual instrument.

Interesting, but not “expressive”

This app is a great introduction to these new keyboard layouts that we see, inspired by stringed instruments. It allows us to try these instrument layouts and visualize scales differently. For this, it is great. Thank you!

However, this app lacks the expressiveness claimed in the description. There is no attack sensitivity, aftertouch or other such controls on the keys making it an “expressive” instrument. Unfortunately, it has no MIDI connectivity either.

The upgrade price to have a few extra sound samples is unfortunately just not worth it.

Such expressiveness and connectivity is better found in pro apps like Geoshred or Velocity Keyboard.

This App is missing

Midi in and midi out

Would be great if you add AUv3 support also

The app is very good

Will be great if you can add midi in and midi out and AUv3 support

Hope you can add this in new update please

Thanks

Needs midi

The is a good app. Please make it a great app .
MIDI or even auv3 ?

Sadly, not Pro.

This is fun to use and the sounds are great! I will gladly pay to upgrade, under one circumstance: It NEEDS to be an AUV3, or IAA in the very least. I am a professional musician, and for me it is useless without. Good luck, and let me know when you update it.

Love it!

For the price it’s super awesome. I haven’t seen the midi availability yet but it’s awesome still. I still love this app!!
