I am a keyboardist in a band. I was skeptical of purchasing Geoshred unaware of its capabilities and whether or not I can use it in my live performances. After purchasing the basic Geoshred Play app, I was extremely impressed by how accurate it was. I made several in-app-purchases (GeoSWAM and Naada collections) and I could not be happier. These instruments sound so real and authentic. I use Geoshred for playing lead solos in my performances with my band. There is no delay when performing live with this app. It allows me to be extremely expressive since it allows me to "flow" from one note to the other and has a host of effects that I could use. To top it all, the support staff have been amazing. They readily respond to email queries. I strongly recommend this app for all music enthusiasts. Show more

My mates here at MoForte, the creators of GeoShred are simply on another level; so where do I even begin to convince you that this is THE app to purchase when it comes to mobile music production? I’ve been using GeoShred for a bit now, since it launched actually - I’ve owned all versions - and my review is a general one so do take into account that there’s three apps and they each have their own place (PLAY is pretty much stand-alone - so it’s the instrument without connectivity with other apps, while CONTROL is an amazing MPE controller to control “external” sounds and finally, PRO is both in one package). MoForte seriously created one if not THE MOST amazing app for iPhone for Music Production. Many would argue this category belongs to HOSTS, like AUM, ApeMatrix, Loopy Pro… etc. While to a certain extent this is true, I would still have to say that when it comes to IPHONE, the king will always be “the Shredder”: trust me, you will have a hard time finding a better tool for Music Production in 2022 than an iPhone XS Max paired with GeoShred - this setup offers this one thing NO new iPhones WILL EVER GIVE YOU —> 3D Touch. 3D Touch + GeoShred = MPE that is pressure sensitive and polyphonic, on your phone (BRO… WOOT?!?)! Seriously, if you care about expressive playing, this is THE TIME to buy a refurbished XS Max, before they simply disappear from the used / refurbished market - I know I will be getting a second one now that the price has gone down drastically, simply to use it as a GEOSHRED CONTROLLER (for real, this is just how good GeoShred is). With an iPhone XS Max on your pocket and GeoShred, you’ve pretty much got one of the most versatile and also the most pocketable MPE controllers out there: How can I explain I sometimes even ditch MY ROLIS for the iPhone? —> YES, that is just how good GeoShred is for MPE, especially on an iPhone WITH 3D Touch. It is so good I have not upgraded my phone in years - as a musician and game developer - I seriously, by far, prefer what the iPhone XS Max has to offer when paired with amazing apps such as GeoShred than the new iPhones “PRO” will ever be able to do; they’re a joke in comparison, nothing pro about them other than the camera (and the chip upgrade, this is undeniable but it’s also obvious and therefore irrelevant under this context), and apps like GeoShred precisely serve to PROVE this. One must also consider all the incredible sound packs available both through GeoShred directly and through other apps such as the magnificent SWAM suite (which honestly plays so much better when controlled via GeoShred than when played via their native SWAM controller, so I would most likely not even use these SWAM apps on my phone at all if I didn’t have the ability to use my phone as both the MPE controller and the “sound box” - I’d just go for the iPad and either “the Phone Shredder” to send midi to it, or an MPE controller). The NAADA collection is amazing, simply brutal… and the SWAM ports that are native to GeoShred are about as amazing as the actual SWAM apps - they do not miss much - some might even prefer them as they are far less cumbersome to control when they are controlled via GeoShred. Seriously, if you own a 3D Touch device you will get out of GeoShred so much more than what you can already see in most videos on YouTube (it’s an amazing controller EVEN without pressure sensitivity; but most users simply do not take advantage of this feature, which to me is THE MOST important feature in the whole app so I gotta make sure to point it out here REPEATEDLY). GeoShred is the most amazing midi controllers if you’re a “string instrument player” - this is NOT an easy category to fill, ask any string player. You simply cannot really emulate the dynamics of such instruments without MPE, and GeoShred is king at this. This, by the way, applies equally as well for wind instruments. It really is a shame Apple removed 3D Touch, as paired with this beauty of an app, it simply was an incredibly revolutionary technology that we will be missing out in the future for sure. So in conclusion…: just get it - you won’t regret it AT ALL. Pat, thank you so much for the amazing app and support - you guys are amazing and are literally game changers to me and many others.

I have lots of fantastic music apps on my iPad but this is the one I pick up most often when I just want to relax and play some music. The interface feels fantastic. It replicates a lot of the expressiveness of a stringed instrument both directly on the strings and through extra controls at the top. It also gives you the option to only show notes in a scale so you don’t even have to know anything to play it. It sounds really good too. It has a ton of presets, although I almost always play the first one called “Shred Lead”. If you upgrade, you have a bunch of options to customize the sounds but it’s definitely not necessary. GeoShred is basically a souped up Bebot. If that sounds interesting to you, you should definitely get it. If you want a virtual guitar on your iPad, you should definitely get it. If you’ve been considering an MPE controller and want something inexpensive to see if you like it, GeoShred is a great option. Show more

This is a great app for beginners and experts. It’s easy to learn how to make cool music.

I am so happy .

This is the most perfect portable instrument to take to any session! The sounds are incredible, the textures are enormously grand…almost vocal in how they use the formant feature…. It is truly an investment in your musical future… And it’s an investment that is definitely affordable by most people! I hope it never goes away! Show more

This app is terrific. I started with GeoShred Play and quickly upgraded (via an in-app purchase) to the Pro version. I also added several of the GeoSWAM instruments. This app is great for three different scenarios: 1. If you need a great sounding, dynamic, and responsive guitar, brass, string, or woodwind instrument, GeoShred plus the optional GeoSWAM in-app instruments are incredible. I was playing the GeoTenorSax instrument as part of my sound check at my last gig and someone from the venue staff came up and told me he thought I was playing a recording of a saxophone. He couldn’t believe that I was playing an instrument on my iPad. 2. If you want to try out MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) but you don’t want to spend $500 to $1400 ($US) just to buy a controller, GeoShred is a great, low-cost option to consider. If you already own a synth or another iPad music app that supports MPE, you can use GeoShred as an MPE controller (there’s a stand-alone “control” version of the app that is very inexpensive, or the Pro version supports this functionality too). 3. If you are a keyboard player and don’t like using the GeoShred on-screen interface (which is really well-designed, in my opinion), you have other options within the app. You can use either a MIDI keyboard that supports “channel aftertouch” or an external MPE controller (e.g. Roli, Keith McMillen, etc.). For example, I have an Xkey keyboard that I use with GeoShred and the GeoTenorSax. The key velocity controls the volume of the sax, I use aftertouch to control the “growl,” and the modulation wheel (button on the Xkey) controls flutter. It sounds so dynamic and realistic.

This is amazing and such fun just to sit and jam. I mean the more you play the better you get.

Its like a magic even a small child can play it its a supper pro app and jordan puts all his experiences from working by 100 of different keyboards and instruments in this app and if you making music or want to start with ios music production or even as a hoppy i hardly recommended this wonderful app and it worth every penny that you have spent for it hope you enjoy it like i do Show more

Gashed is really an awesome musical instrument that lets you create wonders!

I like it I wanna love it but those prices are a little unreal

The sax and flute patch are both realistic and easy to play. Expressive and accurate on every level.

The world of music was a mysterious black box to me that I had put off from opening for a long time until I discovered GeoShred. With its ease of use, helpful online community, and wealth of free learning materials, I think now anyone can get a chance to become a sought-after musician. & Show more

This is such an amazing app both on my phone and my tablet I’m obsessed with it and I take it with me everywhere!!I’m so happy this exist you can express creativity no matter where you are all the props love and respect to everybody over at Geo shred! Izzy rock! Show more

Incredible expressive and very easy to learn, especially as someone very familiar with piano and guitar. After playing this I really wish guitar had the same white and black note indication. I’ll be trying it as a controller sometime soon Show more

Almost perfect. If it had iFretless’s true velocity sensitivity on iPad it would be perfect. Sax and clarinet add on are first class. They seem to have changed the ECHO problem, thanks. Show more

This is easily the best multi-instrument app I have ever seen. Easy to use, great sounds, and allows for limitless expression.

Great to manifest creative sparks in your brain

It’s out of this world how expressive the sax is! On my iPhone I can press into the screen to make it growl.

I am new to this app, have installed since last 10 months ago, but no idea how to play. I am not a musician and not much basic knowledge for any musical instruments or musical app. But recently one day, I tried to play something with GeoShredPlay for 2-3 days, amazingly, I made some notes like “SA RE GA MA”, and form that day, about 15 to 18 days till today, I am trying to learn music through this app. Don’t know what can I will do. But this app is Amazing, Superb. Great job done by developer. It’s not just an app. Many many thanks and Regards, Bijoy Khanikar, Assam, India. Show more
