User Reviews for GeoShred Control

A-Mazing

Even though I own Geoshred, I had to buy this just... because. I'll buy anything from developers I want to support and Jordan et al have come up with one brilliant app after another. Geoshred is amazing, and after the loss of a finger that curtailed my guitar career, a very welcome addition to my sonic quiver.

My other controllers will gather dust

I just stayed up until almost 3AM playing around with this app. I have a few AU plugins (FxPansion’s Strobe and Cypher2, and Madrona Lab’s Aalto and Kaivo) that I was able to control in Logic Pro X. It wasn’t the most intuitive thing to get working (the videos focus more on the Pro version), and I’m still trying to figure out how to make custom assignments to certain AU parameters but, this little app is still super impressive! By the way, I found the best way to get this to interface with Logic Pro X is to connect via Bluetooth. I have both a 2018 iPad (7.5 inch) and MacBook Pro, and they connect flawlessly. It would be great to get more detailed instructions for Control, as they are just kind of the same ones from Pro but, it’s fine. I’ve been able to save myself at least $300 not having to buy a Seaboard

Pretty great, didn’t need Pro

Happy to say I didn’t need Pro to do what I wanted, namely having a decent approximation of an isometric midi controller. Two notes cannot be played in the same row so that’s a slight limitation on chords. Overall there’s a lot of confusing interface elements but I can just cycle through presets until something is ok. Most of the features don’t work with the software I’m sending the MIDI to, but I understand why and it’s not GeoShred’s fault.

The AppStore just deleted my review so here it goes again...

GeoShred is amazing - I simply cannot wait to play more with this little app. Just get it! Especially if you’re only looking for the MIDI controls, 10 dollars is quite a bargain (25 hurt a little bit more). I especially mostly cared about the MIDI aspect of it (I want it to control particularly this really cool app called Spacecraft). I know I will find tons of uses for it now that I can actually use it instead of just watching videos though. Only two suggestions:1) make the interface vector based - tbh I think the UI could use some work, it looks childish and not serious at all. Unfortunately, it resizes terribly as an AUv3 and really needs to occupy the full screen to be usable. I hope this can be addressed with a Vector based interface so that resizing is a possibility (huge for iPhone). That being said, this isn’t that bad, and I bought this for the music not the looks so about the UI being “childish” and toy-like, I don’t mind too much. 2) and this one would be major: please offer a GeoShred bundle - realistically once one gets GeoShred Pro, there’s no need for either control or play. It would be far nicer for your customers to be able to “upgrade” to the actual Pro app as opposed to having an IAP that turns Control into Pro. The prices could stay the same but one could “complete the bundle” to get all the apps (completing the bundle from Play or Control to Pro for 15 extra bucks would make it all equivalent to the IAP option, but this way we wouldn’t have to remember that we “don’t own PRO” but we own Control with “Pro upgrade”).Things would be far simpler and very appreciated, as realistically if one buys control or play and then upgrades to pro, there’s no need to buy the third app (Control if one bought Play, or the other way around). Both Control and Play are “limited functionality” Pro versions, it would be nice to be able to own the three of them once we buy the bundle. PRO owners could complete their bundle for 0 dollars, and that way everyone wins.

Can’t find a way to connect my dm48 midi wind in the help files.

No sound from my instrument . Boo

Loving this app

I’m loving this app, however I’m using a Roland Gr30 guitar processor with a Puc+ midi to control the saxophone sound thru my iphone. Awesome concept, but I can’t get all six strings to recognize, the first string E ,doesn’t play. I can only play on 5 strings but not all six. I’ll keep watching tutorials for an update

Cost effective MPE controller, supports 3D Touch

I’m using GeoShred Control on my iPhone as a low cost MPE controller. This is probable one of the best apps to show how powerful 3D Touch is. I use it to Control the SWAM Sax on my Mac. I love that pressing into the screen is so expressive

Bought wrong app. Where’s the option to refund?

Can’t find the refund option and didn’t receive an email about my purchase. Need a refund please!

Powerful app, well priced as tryout for Pro, great support

I bought GeoShred Control primarily to check out full GeoShred and what I wanted to be my primary use case (to start): recording MIDI tracks into Garage Band on the same iPad (using a third party app called Midiflow to create virtual ports). Control definitely shows you the performance and operation of the app, you just have to use a synthesizer with it to get sounds out. As it turns out, control of GB iOS looks a bit buggy - but not the fault of GeoShred. I have contacted support about 3 times pre and post purchase and it is extremely responsive. One of the developers actually recorded a video showing him testing out my bug case and showing it's a bug in how GarageBand is handling MPE. I went ahead and upgraded to GeoShred Pro so I could get the built in sounds and guitar modeling to play around with and build my interest in learning the isometric layout (I know a bit of keyboard but little of guitar). I think GeoShred Play might be a better intro to the app than Control unless you have a very specific use case in mind (as I did), but you can get to Pro from either. Appreciate their offering both, I wasn't gonna spring for a $25 app without getting a hands-on sense of whether I'd like using it.
