GeoShred has expanded its universe and added two new apps GeoShred Control, and GeoShred Play. If you don’t already know GeoShred, or rather GeoShred Pro as it is now, it is an expressive musical instrument with a multi-touch performance surface, coupled with an advanced physical model of a guitar.
First let’ take a look at GeoShred Control:
GeoShred Control is a stand alone MIDI/MPE controller based on GeoShred. You can use GeoShred Control to perform MIDI/MPE synthesizers. Seamlessly move between fretless and diatonic modalities in a magical musical way using our isomorphic and diatonic playing surface and groundbreaking intelligent pitch rounding.
GeoShred Control is highly expressive when controlling instruments that use the upcoming “MPE” MIDI specification (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). It’s a formidable iPad/iPhone based MIDI/MPE controller!
GeoShred Control has an arpeggiator, support for temperaments/world scales, backing tracks and 3D touch (on devices that support 3D touch) and you can upgrade to Geoshred Pro with it’s powerful physical model of stringed instruments.

With GeoShred Play, everyone can shred using the the new diatonic playing surface! You can Shred the Blues and never hit a wrong note. Slide your finger in any direction and let the magic happen using a scale that fits perfectly against a backing track. Seamlessly move between fretless and diatonic modalities in a magical musical way using our isomorphic and diatonic playing surface and groundbreaking intelligent pitch rounding.
GeoShred Play is a play-only version of the award-winning GeoShred musical instrument for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. GeoShred Play can be used to perform GeoShred Pro presets.
It’s a great way to get started with GeoShred, AND it can be upgraded to ALL of the powerful GeoShred Pro features like preset editing, MIDI/MPE and setlist editing.
GeoShred Play is an expressive musical instrument with a multi-touch performance surface, coupled with an advanced physical model of a guitar.

Smith III of Stanford/CCRMA. Add to that, incredible support for MIDI/MPE which makes GeoShred both a powerful synth and a formidable MIDI/MPE controller!
