Completely unrelated to my previous post, I wanted to suggest that the maximum number of "strings" in GeoShred be expanded beyond six. Especially now that GeoShred is going to be used as a control surface for people using Macs, I think that many people will want more than six horizontal rows of playable notes.

Large iPads can certainly accommodate far more than six playable rows and most other isomorphic grid-style keyboard apps on iOS/iPadOS allow you to have more than six rows.

I realize that GeoShred is a unique instrument so perhaps there is some limitation I am not thinking of - perhaps having more than six playable rows would require additional work for some of the electric guitar "Shred Lead" instruments. But with instruments that are monophonic, major changes would hopefully not be required to add additional rows.

Anyway, I imagine that others may have brought up this request before but I haven't seen it so far on the forum.

The current code base is build around 6 strings and it's threaded all through out the code. It is in part because the DSP model for the guitar, our first model, cannot be dynamically resized. It's 6 strings. We have long had this request and the new code base that we are working on supports dynamic re-allocation of strings. This new code base is a 100% rewrite, intended to get us to Windows and Android and it is at LEAST a year away OR LONGER. Note that we are essentially 2 people working like 10.

I got GeoShred Studio and it is totally awesome. However, there is a very strange bug that I have found. It doesn’t always happen but this is what it is: When I slide to a note right or left, instead of going up or down one semitone, it goes up or down by a major third.

And if you keep sliding right or left, it keeps going up or down by major thirds - so that when sliding left or right you are actually playing an arpeggiated version of an augmented chord! It’s utterly bizarre.

I’m not sure if there is something I am doing that triggers it because as I said, it doesn’t always happen.

I was hoping to post a video of it but it looks like I can only post photos.

This is an odd one. We have not seen it. Please send us a video and we will look at it right away. Please send to [email protected]

Thanks very much - I just emailed a video of it.

Windows and Android - that’s great! And I’m glad to hear that more strings will eventually be added. But wow, a 100% rewrite does not sound fun.

Well, I look forward to it whenever it is finished. Now with the Mac version and the iPad as the controller, GeoShred is pretty much the coolest thing ever.

Chris,

I'm pretty sure that this problem is a pitch bend range mismatch between the client (GeoShred for iOS/iPadOS) and the server (GeoShred Studio).

I think that if you follow our recommendation in the App Note to use GeoShredConnect send/receive, the problem will be solved.

Go to 2:34.

It's a good idea to look at the whole app note because there is lots of useful info here.

Please let me know if this solves it for you.
