I've been looking for ambient brass stuff without beats of any kind. This is one of the best I have found.
Anyone else got any recommendations?
Yea you actually do not need hardware, which is sweet. there’s a list of MPE Contollers on the Audiobus Wiki, there is only like 5-7 but....at least those. As far as the Geoshred swam instruments are concerned you can still control it with regular midi if you skip over and do not use midi ch. 1, use midi channels 2-20. Someone made a YouTube video about it recently, just can’t remember who atm. Haq or TSTR I think...
I recently got GeoPro and a few swam after only having GPlay, and at face value it is a blast to just live jam, (typically playing for an audience of one) set your scale, or custom scale. If just jamming for fun, I sometimes create a simple backing track in AUM, and go to town, It’s fun.
That’s just for starters, the main way i use it is by recording the audio in loops or shots into another app. Recording into apps like Enso, AUM(audioshare) sEGments, Gauss, Loopy, and others, then play that back in whatever way. geoshred pro and the swams sound absolutely amazing, so realistic and expressive to play.
It’s mostly best for leads, solos, riffs, or fills. If you play guitar you will have a jump start at playing the interface. Then you can send midi to it. Like I mentioned before it does play from midi even swams, with non-MPE midi, so you can sequence it like anything else. Then it’s also an mpe controller for you mpe needs. Amazing App, shouldn’t have waited so long.
I just got lost writing this, when done I realize this could be a review and I haven’t done that yet so Its copy and paste time.

Also what @Gavinski said... it sounds so good just keep it simple. Set the scale to match your song, hit a few notes, and hold them. You can shred but playing it more sparingly, slowly might help. With This app it can be easy to overdo it so to speak, there’s a lot of notes to choose from, etc, so I think just a couple, in scale notes, along with the track your working on would be a great start. Im no expert, but I play guitar and it’s laid out in that fashion so that helped me use the app a lot.
@Poppadocrock thanks for this. I'm pissing myself laughing though because who made a video about how to put regular midi in into GeoSwam? Only yours truly ffs 😂
Here is the link:
Lol. My bad dude. Lol. There’s been an influx of good channels so I’ve been more forgetful on the source. Plus some Saturday night medical flower can have that effect, lol.
Haha! Lucky you, have fun
Thanks @Gavinski your channel is in the top tier, imho, so keep up the amazing work, but also remember take a little time if you need it. Don’t burn yourself out. Cheers mate.
Yup, good advice 👍
I’m going in the opposite direction with SWAM... more notes... as many as I can play in a breath 😉😂. It’s the jazz idiom what can call up such fugues of notes.
@Gavinski, can you explain the “anti phasing” settings? They seem to alter the sound, but it may be my imagination.
@Gavinski @Poppadocrock - Thanks for the advice. I think I'm understanding it a bit better. Geoshred is great for melody lines. I'm gonna have to experiment with it a bit more. I gotta start with a simple scale, and build from there. Thanks again.
Normally you need anti phasing if you f.e. want to play 2 of the same instruments. In the real world 2 instruments are never exact the same and sound like 2 instruments. In the software world it can be that 2 or more identical sounds/samples are affected with phasing frequencies when played in unison and they sound more like a doubled amplitude rather than 2 instruments. It just sound totally fake.
A reason also why creating ensembles with SWAM (which they plan) is another game.
I guess anti-phasing solves this with changing subtle things in timbre etc. which emulates then quite what happens in the real world and is really important if use not only a solo instrument.
Thanks, @Clueless, you definitely have a lot of clues.
hi, great thread with some great comments. Possibly disagree slightly with @Poppadocrock and @seonnthaproducer (but in a friendly way!) in that I think you can use GeoShred for chordal work as well a leads, melody etc. If you treat it like a real instrument it is basically just down to practice. The more you put in , the more you get out🎶
Yup, what he said! If you connect your keyboard to two at the same time, and first try without anti phasing on, and then try with the phase setting on one instance changed to one of the other numbers, you'll hear the difference.
