I have a light pad block m and the swam strings in noise, definitely sounds good. I can’t say I’ve done a ton with it, and certainly nothing worth using yet.
But, one thing I’ve noticed on a lot of the mpe videos I’ve seen is over exaggerated vibrato and sliding, which wouldn’t really be done when playing the real instrument. It’s worth listening to how a string player uses vibrato, as well as different wind instruments, as well as other elements of expression, if you want it to sound more realistic. Just a thought.
I do look forward to seeing SWAM more integrated into other environments, they sound good in Noise but it’s frustrating that it doesn’t hook up to anything else.
Krupa, The iTunes App Store has a mechanism to "Complete Your Bundle" for apps, which ownership of an app is credited to the bundle purchase. We have not been able to identify a parallel mechanism for IAPs. Due to this App Store limitation,
previously purchased instrument IAPs can not be applied to a purchase of a collection of instruments.
Note that we are no longer using the term "Bundle" for a "Collection" of IAPs offered at a discount, because the term "Bundle" in the iTunes App Store specifically means App Bundle.
Here is our FAQ on this
http://www.moforte.com/geoShredAssets5.0/help/FAQs/#geoSwamCollection
LinearLineman, The Geo-SWAM instruments are monophonic and are optimized for the GeoShred keyboard and MPE controllers. Not all controls found on the native SWAM instruments are available in the Geo-SWAM instruments, and some controls are handled differently. A complete list of the controls for each instrument can be found in the FAQ item for this question:

Thanks @moForte. Will the GeoSWAM instruments function with regular, non MPE, keyboards? Also, can you plug them in to existing midi tracks? Thanks.
If we want to try one of the instruments as a GeoShred IAP and then decide to buy the full suite, will the original purchase be applied toward the bundled price?

@moForte
In the (useful) link-FAQ it mentions
For devices that DO NOT support 3D touch, velocity can be set by using the KeyY vertical position (KeyY Touch), and Pressure is automatically mapped to KeyY. You can set KeyY touch parameters from "Menu > Settings"
Can Geoshred detect the radius of the touch as a gesture for pressure ?
Great Q, I’d like to know this too! This is why Velocity Keyboard is the best MPE controller app, & why touch radius should be included in every MPE app..
I think I can answer this question : No. Unless it will be introduced in v5.0 but it is very unlikely.
In my defense I was still on the previous page and hadn't gotten to the explanation. But still... substantial fail.
Sorry, for my denseness, @Gavinski, but you are saying the upcoming GeoSWAM instruments will work with Velocity Keyboard, correct?
It definitely can - I checked, but I haven't checked out yet whether it is lacking in any way. In my experience, touch radius on VK - which could be used for channel aftertouch (pressure) messages doesn't work very well.
Looks like it’s here..
Dear Audiobus forum folk. Thanks so much for your support. We just released GeoShred 5. It may take several hours to get to the edge of all of Apple's networks for all territories. Here is some info:
Announcing GeoShred 5!
We are excited to announce the release of GeoShred 5!
This latest release offers beautifully inspired physically modeled instruments, including GeoViolin, GeoFlute, GeoTenorSax, GeoCello, GeoClarinet, and GeoOboe, all powered by Audio Modeling's SWAM technology. These instruments are available as In-App-Purchases (IAPs), for $14.99USD**
The GeoSWAM instruments are awesome to play from GeoShred's isomorphic keyboard, and you can also play them from other expressive MPE controllers like the LinnStrument or the Roli Seaboard.
**Note that Apple sets the local territory price for IAPs, and may add additional local charges.
Getting Started with the GeoSWAM Instruments
The GeoSWAM Instruments can be played from the GeoShred Keyboard or an MPE controller only. If you use the AUv3 plugin in a DAW, you will be able to record using the GeoShred Keyboard or an MPE controller.
Unfortunately, due to App Store limitations, previously purchased instrument IAPs can not be applied to a purchase of the collection. As far as we can tell, Apple is only supporting complete-your-bundle for Apps and not IAPs.
No. We have been testing the touch radius API for over 8 years and have never gotten it to work very well. It tends to deliver only a few values and they are jittery. If you find an implementation that works, we'd love to hear about it.
This video has its own thread but I'll post it here for posterity - detailed review and walkthrough with timestamps that demos all the IAP instruments and presets, as well as giving lots of tips about the aspects of the interface most relevant to using the swam sounds. Also discussing the differences between this, Roli Noise and Audio Modeling's own app which is due to come out some months from now.
Got it, thanks for the explanation.
oh it was so worth the wait. the cello is excellent. i can’t wait for brass to be released eventuallyt
You want the Roli Noise app. It’s free; includes MPE keyboard.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr, I have NOISE and it’s mpe is present in Cubasis. It will not play the SWAM instruments, however.
Updated to 5 and upgraded from Play to Pro. Bought GeoCello. App freezes almost instantly on iPhone 7plus, crashes on any attempt to change preset. Working fine on an iPhone SE (old one).
Email the devs would be the best thing @steve99
Are the SWAM instruments polyphonic in GeoShred ?
Best Buy of the year imho. Broke but happy.
Monophonic
I just have 'play'. I upgraded to 5 to look at swam prices in my currency. But when I upgraded, the hundred or so preset sounds in play...reduced to 2. Huh ? Truth is I didn't use geoshred much...prefer VK and thumbjam, but was looking forward to a swam cello. But having an upgrade swipe what was included before doesn't sit pretty.
@Gavinski, will the upcoming standalone SWAM be polyphonic?
