While GeoShred for iOS/iPadOS focuses on live performance, GeoShred Studio is designed for desktop scoring and composition, utilizing physically modeled instruments and multiple AUv3 instances. GeoShred Studio’s key advantage is the ability to seamlessly integrate performances directly into your DAW as editable MIDI/MPE data, allowing for easy edits and re-rendering as part of your workflow.

As a part of your normal production workflow you can use GeoShred’s expressive multi-dimensional control from your iOS device to record your tracks as MIDI/MPE which can be edited as part of your production process.
