Looks like it's $10 off...
yes, its $14.99 USD
Would love to hear some audio of that. I imagine layering the two would be pretty awesome too.
Does the Model D take MPE? If no, that would take a lot of the fun out of it for me, except maybe as a background layer.
No, it doesn’t do mpe. The app does, but not the hardware.
WOW FANTASTIC GROOVE.Thanks👍
Geoshred has a nice unique resonator sound engine which works great with the interface for some electroacoustic mayhem- very rich Subotnick Buchla type stuff- it’s also great for easy shoegazer 4AD goth bass and guitar blur
Yeah, it's a very unique synth for ios. I'm guessing most folks who don't like the sound have never gone beyond the presets. It's very deep.
I purchased GeoShred a while back in anticipation of SWAM sounds. Didn't put much effort in learning how to play the on-screen as I didn't have a use for the stock sounds and didn't understand how to create my own that I could use. I would say that to be a good player the learning curve is similar to learning any instrument. I found that you had to stare at the screen so playing it and reading sheet music was not practical. Along came GeoSWAM and I started learning it with the MPE K-Board Pro-4 and found that interface worked much better for me. I then interfaced with and two different wind controllers and I found those controllers to be superior. I have much more experience on a wind controller. To have such quality sounds on ios is a gamechanger for me.
Yeah, playing on the glass is frustrating because you can't feel where you are with the fingers like on a keyboard or guitar.
But i keep plugging away and practicing because I know a regular keyboard is not going to satisfy me for playing these sounds, and the Osmose that I preordered probably won't arrive until next spring at the earliest.
I think I’ve got used to playing on the screen, but it feels more natural to tap as I would with my right hand rather than fret with my left hand. Both ways work fine, but I tend to play in too much of a guitar fretting way with my left hand, and it feels much more unnatural.
Yeah... I recently bought GEOSHRED but got a bit confused with the offerings really.. I got the free 'play' version. .. then the cello sounds appealed to me so I bought that. £15
This wind outright get you access to the performance/settings .. I think I need to pay another £15 :-/
I definitely overlooked this detail... But then also,I think all of this should be made clearer....
So, before I, somewhat reluctantly pay another £15.. can someone help me with some details?:
1) 'use GEOSHRED to control other midi'. So... How far does this go? If you hit the Bflat in geoshred's UI,... It will also play.. another app u have open. Eg a bass app.. but how much further will it go?
Will geoshred's Volume/up+down feature (when you slide up and down on the fret, translate to the other midi app? (And therefore fluctuate volume there? Or how about its funky spider-web/radar-style adjustment part of the UI.... can that effect other params in other apps?
2) polyphony. One other question here, the version I have 'FREE', only pays one note at a time. Can it be made polyphonic after an upgrade?
Damn, I'm using GeoShred as a "reference MPE controller app" (it actually seems to be very good at that and adhere to the spec very well). Am I behind the times again?
The SWAM instruments are all monophonic. I have GeoShred Pro and they are monophonic in there too.
There are some polyphonic instruments that are not SWAM.
I just use the SWAM most of the time because I can control the volume with finger movement.
SWAM patches are all monophonic. The native patches are poly.
It works very well as an MPE controller for other synths. You can program all the controls on the control pad to put out whatever midi you please. For most synths you'll need to do some setup to get this working the way you want it.
You could set up any of the patches to do that.
You're probably right. Right now I prefer to spend my GeoShred time practicing on the SWAM instruments, but will consider exploring your suggestion in the future.
Another Settings/Performance question while I think of it..
3) CC mappings. Can we assign the spider/radar expression part of the UI to a midi mapping? Same question for the whammy, vibrato, volume sliders.
(As I would rather tweak a knob on a keyboard for this than use the touchscreen).
Playing frets along with managing the up/down sliders on screen is like pat head rub tummy for me.
As @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr says you can easily set to control surface in GeoShred to more or less anything you want so yes you can set the Spider/radar (X/Y) to output any midi value. Rather than setting whammy, vibrato to a midi value (which you could do) I would probably add specific sliders for the values you want. If you look at the the set of videos on https://www.youtube.com/c/Moforte/videos called Application Note #nn from a couple of years ago there are lots of midi mapping examples.
I think he might be talking about midi input into the app and you're talking about midi output into external synths, no?
You may well be right @dobbs , I think I have lost track of what the question was 😊
Midi input also works fine for me , certainly from other apps. Having used any other controller.
I know this thread has been bumped from back in July, but ever since the introduction of the SWAM instruments in GeoShred 5, I’ve had a hard time NOT using it on everything! It’s like the icing on a cake, the perfect touch to complete a musical piece.
It’s definitely not a toy, and no iOS producer/music maker should be without it...
Wow, I somehow missed this one man. Really, really good!!
Yeah, I'm trying to find out if I can use 1x GEOSHRED app, have my midi keyboard plugged in, and control that spider/radar by using a joystick. The kind of joystick you find on the AKAI mpk mini keyboards.
Know what i mean?
Further to that, to assign those other controls (eg whammy, volume) to knobs on keyboard.
My questions about how it can control other apps please ignore, they are separate.
All the GUI controls in the GeoShred UI can be linked to MIDI inputs and using MIDI Learn or
manually setting the Channel+CC.
The kind of joystick you find on the AKAI mpk mini keyboards.
Yes. The X Axis is Mod and the Y axis is pitch bend I think. So assigning or MIDI learning should be possible. I have an Akai and GeoShred so I might test this.
Sure. MIDI learn or CC associations in the surface MIDI settings.
Some gestures on your controller would be mapped into MIDI output streams.
Application Note #34: Using GeoShred to Control iOS SWAM Apps
We have been getting a number of question about how to use GeoShred to control the new SWAM iOS apps from Audio Modeling. We love everything that Audio Modeling does and we have setup a special preset for controlling the SWAM iOS apps. This video will use the SWAM Trump app to show step by step how to control it using GeoShred from both Virtual MIDI and as an AUv3 plugin.
Let's look first at how to use Virtual MIDI to use GeoShred to control the SWAM Trumpet.
First lets launch the SWAM Trumpet app. There are a couple of things that you will want to set in the app.
Under Menu: Settings: Options you will want to Enable Virtual MIDI ports. This will require you to restart the app. .
After restarting under MIDI: Presets: you will want to select the "Seaboard Default". This preset is very close to standard MIDI/MPE and pairs well with GeoShred when GeoShred is using it's own MPE MIDI configuration.
Next you will want to start GeoShred. You will need a minimum of GeoShred 5.890.1.
In the setlist "MIDI Out" go to preset number "MIDI OUT: #21 MIDI Out iOS SWAM". This preset has been setup to control the iOS SWAM apps. Here are some features of the preset.
