Apple has no mechanism for developers to offer all possible discount permutations for a specific product. The offer is for GeoSWAM collection I & II 20% off.
Note that I only check the Audiobus forum once a week. If you reach out to us directly I usually respond in a few hours. [email protected] or in GeoShred "Menu> Help> Report a Problem".
Thanks! I deleted control and kept Play with the Pro upgrade in it.
@moForte im having some issues with geoshred. I bought the unlock in geoshred pro but it won’t show up in AUM as an AU unless I delete and reinstall + restart my iPad every time I want to use it. If I don’t it says it failed to load and shows a big red X in its slot in AUMs list of plugins. It also keeps crashing when opening on standalone for the first 2-3 times. After which it will finally work. Any recommendations or fixes in the works?
How do you tune the drone in the Naada sitar and sarod?
Is this issue solved for you? I’ve unlocked the blue one, and I hope I will not regret anything. For now, it shows up in my AUM MIDI slot. 🤞
Yes! The dev ended up emailing me back the same night. Basically it does that if you have both apps installed. Since they’re basically the same app, I deleted the other and reset and it’s worked perfectly fine ever since
You probably have more than one GeoShred on your device. All the GeoShreds share the same AUv3 pluginID to facilitate migrating projects. If there is more than one GeoShred installed, plugin hosts can become confused. Why don't you reach out to me directly and I can help you unravel this, [email protected]
Hey, thanks for replying but you guys actually already helped me via email back during the summer
but I appreciate it anyway. I was just following up for @Luxthor so he’d know it was fixed/solved.
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr , performance settings, strum, click on the blue Amaj7 chord button on the left (in the case of Sitar) and then choose the chord you want or define your own and then save ( or save as ) to keep the settings.
I’m glad this is resolved, actually, it’s logical that once you unlock the pro option, the other one becomes redundant.
I’m just concerned if I made the wrong choice by unlocking GeoShred Play instead of buying the Pro version from the beginning.
I don’t think so. I was worried about that as well and the dev also confirmed to me that once you buy the full unlock for any of the apps, they’re basically all the same. You’re not missing out on any functionality.
Unless you mean price wise in which case it should be the same no?
Thanks, I’m much closer now, and able to edit the drone strums. My sitar’s blue button lacked a chord name. After I started editing, its name turned to Xs and Os and numbers corresponding to the chord diagram.
I still cannot get the lowest string down to D. The lowest note available is E. Is this baked in or is there a way to change the tuning? Changing the kb tuning to drop D in the performance page does not overcome this lowest note limitation for the drone.
@moForte
GeoShred Pro and GeoShred Play+Pro are identical.
The chord system in GeoShred is based on standard guitar chords, and for user defined chords the tuning is standard EADGBE, thus the lowest note you can have in a custom chord is an E. For now we don't have a plan for supporting other chord systems because there are thousands of other systems.
Many thanks for the response. I’m not quite following the design logic. I know you’ve given it waaaay more thought than I have and made the right choice, but….
I don’t care about guitars or guitar chords. For each chord button, I just want to choose a set of notes to sound. Why should we let the guitar’s physical limitations limit our choices in software?
I’m playing a frickin veena software model over here! In real life it’s a bamboo tube with strings and pumpkins attached. Guitar seems totally irrelevant to the question from my perspective.
Complete respect to you; I’m just frustrated that it won’t give me a note that I know the model is capable of giving me. That limitation will force me to be more creative to work around it, which is not the worst outcome.
The guitar chord system and its accompanying 10,000 chords was migrated from moForte Guitar. it was designed and implemented over 10 years ago. It was a real bonus that it could be migrated into GeoShred with a just a few months work. We have limited resources. 2 people for everything, architecture, design, coding, physics and circuit model research and development, testing, release, marketing, social media, business dev, bookkeeping, tax preparation, dealing with Apple ... the list goes on.
Our focus right now is on the Mac version of GeoShred to support desktop production work. I will certainly add your request to our list of requests (currently about 1200 requests). We prioritize what goes into each release based on number of requests and value to the GeoShred community. Perhaps after the mac version is done we can dig back into the 10 year old code for the chord system.
Thank you for the clarification! I’m really happy with GeoShred, automation works perfectly in Logic for iOS. I bought the Naada Collection I and II bundle, and it is breathtakingly good. 🤩 People here who were praising the sound of the GeoShred were not wrong in the slightest.
Only thing, I’m kind of sad that Naada Collection III didn’t fit into my spending budget. I needed only four instruments, and all of them were spread over all three Collections. Haha, that's my luck. Poor Gaohu will wait for another chance. I don’t want to buy individual instruments, I’ll rather wait for the “Collection III and IV” bundle.
@moForte
The strum button in the controls section of the Rudra Veena meditation patch plays different notes than the strum strings I set up in the keyboard section. How to tune the button strum?
Hi @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr , do you mean the ‘Sympath Reso Enable’ button ?
If so from the menu, Model & FX, click on the Symp Res effect, click on Scale and you can change everything there.
Sorry if that’s not what you meant 🤨
@Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr The "Strum Reso Strings" on the control surface of the Rudra Veena allows you to do a fixed strum of the sympathetic strings that AccelMatrix (creator of Naada) built into the the model. These strings are fixed in tuning and cannot be retuned.
When you strum the strumming control on the left you are strumming the voice strings of the Veena, not the resonator strings.
We have asked AccelMatrix if they will add access to strumming the resonator strings to their model. They are still considering if they will do this and if so, how.
My bad, thanks,Pat ( @moForte )
Thanks guys. Kind of strange to have strum strings you cannot tune! Could it be made to tune to whatever the sympathetic resonator module is tuned to, and to change keys with the global tuning setting?
Agreed @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr , perhaps from a purist point of view on the real instrument the tuning always the same but in an app where everything else is user modifiable I’m not sure it makes a lot of sense 🤨
Usually the players adjust the tuning for each performance, to fit the raga, and to be in tune with the rest of the stage. Some players might leave it chromatic all the time, but I don't think the baked-in strum is chromatic (I only tried it in one session; I could be misremembering.)
The resonator strings on the Rudra Veena are tuned to Sa-Ma-Sa'. In western music 1-4-1'. When players adjust the tuning they adjust the relative tuning of the instrument to a singer. In GeoShred this is accomplished with course/fine tune, not key change, because in South Asian Music, the root is always Sa. I'm not aware that the drones are tuned to anything other than Sa-Ma-Sa', but I will ask our various influencer resources.
Note that the "Strum Reso Strings" feature was developed and specified at the request of Mahesh Raghvan, Madan Pisharody, Raji Krishan, and a few other South Asian influencers who use GeoShred.
I will pass your feedback to AccelMatrix, the developer of the Naada Models.
Thanks, I understand. What we have now is a situation where the strum button only works in one key. It is faithful to the original instrument, but still an unnecessary constraint for a Geoshred instrument.
But if I understand correctly, I can retune the entire instrument with the course tune page--which will bring my resonator strings strum button in tune with my key--and then just readjust my keyboard to match? That sounds like a workaround!
It is not a work around, it is intended behavior. In South Asian Music Sa is always the root. Musicians tune their instruments to a singer by changing the tuning. Changing Key is not the same as changing tuning, its changing Key.
Please see our FAQ on this topic.

Thanks, that’s good faq, and I didn’t know about the swara kb option. I live in between Indian and western music; I use both theoretical systems. So when I detune the instrument, I still want accurate note names on the kb. This is what I mean by workaround—after detuning the instrument, I need to reset the kb to give me the right note names (according to a 440 standard).
I’m not sure there is a standard for rudra veena chikari (drone) tuning. The instrument is just so rare. The modern master seems to use only Sa (the root) in two octaves for his chikari:
More generally, the non-root in Indian chikari drones is Pa (5th). Ma (4th) would only be used with ragas that don’t include the fifth, like Malkauns or Bageshri. Occasionally the second note might be Ni (7th) or even Dha (6th). My point is that the player will retune to match each raga.
It sounds to me like the hardwired chikari tuning in the rudra veena meditation patch is tuned to G and D, or sa and pa with a G root?
Also, the rudra veena I think is mostly a North Indian instrument used in the Dhrupad tradition. I don’t really know much about the Carnatic system.
Impressive knowledge @Wrlds2ndBstGeoshredr , is this something you’ve studied or just picked up along the way ?
