Wizdom Music & moForte announce the release of GeoShred Version 2.6, an exciting update to the award-winning GeoShred musical instrument for iPad and iPhone.
GeoShred, Winner of a 2017 Electronic Musician Editor’s Choice Award as “one of the most innovative, groundbreaking products to emerge in the past twelve months”, now offers three ways for you to shred!
Play enables everyone to shred using the the new diatonic playing surface! 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 Pro features like preset editing, MIDI/MPE and setlist editing.
Control is a stand alone MIDI/MPE controller based on GeoShred. You can use GeoShred Control to perform MIDI/MPE synthesizers, using GeoShred’s magic isomorphic and diatonic keyboards. Control is highly expressive when controlling instruments that use the upcoming “MPE” MIDI specification (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). Control can be upgraded to Pro
Pro – All the great features including preset editing, MIDI/MPE and setlist editing.
GeoShred is highly expressive when controlling, and being controlled by, instruments that use the upcoming “MPE” MIDI specification (MIDI Polyphonic Expression). It’s both a powerful synth and a formidable iPad based MIDI/MPE controller!
GeoShred is an expressive musical instrument with a multi-touch performance surface, coupled with an advanced physical model of a guitar. A fusion of Wizdom Music’s Geo Synthesizer user interface (Jordan Rudess), and moForte’s powerful, modeled guitar and effects chain based on the next generation Physical Modeling research of Dr. Julius O. Smith III of Stanford/CCRMA.
With GeoShred’s physical modeling synthesis, you can achieve realistic guitar sounds that bend, stretch and manipulate the sound into endless possibilities. You can explore, edit and control the physics of a guitar model – including solid or hollow body, nylon or metal strings, pick position, harmonics and more.

“GeoShred is brilliant- it’s a real instrument.” – Eddie Jobson
“A fantastic new invention which is going to revolutionize the way music is played, expressed and learned! “GeoShred” is one of the foremost best musical inventions I’ve had the pleasure to experience in recent years. Definitely 5 stars out of 5! GIGANTASTIVISSIMO…..R…A…Z !!!!!” – Patrick Moraz
”That’s just nuts. You’re [Jordan] the best-guitarist-without-a-guitar of all time” – Joe Satriani
“GeoShred is a breakthrough [musical instrument] for the iPad. Some might think it’s the best evidence yet that there has indeed been reverse engineering of alien technology, but if that’s the case, then aliens play guitar…and worship Jimi Hendrix.” – Craig Anderton, Harmony Central
“GeoShred is a completely innovative music instrument that has become an essential tool for me in both worlds; on stage and in the studio. The quality, flexibility, expressibility and reliability of GeoShred have made it my go-to (and admittedly must used) iOS music app!” – Diego Tejeida, Haken
“GeoShred makes it really easy to slide between different pitches (including microtones) and we all know about the iPad’s terrific multi-touch display surface. This makes it my most preferred instrument to play Indian Classical Music. My favourite feature is the ability to set custom pitches and raagas; which provides a great reference while playing diatonically.”
– Mahesh Raghvan
“This is one of the best musical things to have ever happened to iOs. Amazing app, empowering non-stringed instrument players like me to think and play like a stringed instrumentalist. Its sounds are amazing and so are the features especially the MIDI implementation which allows you to play whatever sound you want to play, using your iDevice. I use it to play Indian & western music. Thank you Mr. Rudess and moforte for this masterpiece of an instrument!!!”
– Navneeth Sundar, composer, pianist, song-writer and performer
” GeoShred is making an artist bring the best out of all genres of music. I am enjoying its authenticity and proud as an Indian Classical Artist to be associated with the GeoShred’s family.”
