Geo Synthesizer Reviews

THE app that had made iPad a unique musical instrument

Guaranath

This is absolutely my favorite app as far as musical instruments go; it has a layout that is intuitive and adjustable, it has an auto-ocatve jumping feature that allows you to do incredibly fast runs and arpeggios, the subtle control options for pitch-bends are unparalleled, the patches that are included sound great, and importing new voices through Samplewiz is a breeze. And these are the more-or-less basic features. Advanced users: Want to have play your other virtual MIDI synth apps via Geo, no problem! And you can adjust the volume levels of the MIDI voice and the Geo voice so you can have both a volume levels you have balanced to your taste. Do you want to explore or express your microtonal inclinations? Geo has you covered! And so much more than just quarter-tones. There are many other advanced features (filter adjustments, FM and harmonics adjustments...), almost all of which can be controlled on assignable performance sliders. All this being said, I will agree with a previous reviewer who said this is definitely not a toy. But hey, if you had never played a guitar before, would you expect to just pick one up and start rocking out? No, of course not! This is a totally new instrument! (Ok, maybe not totally new if you have played around with Mugician) This is an instrument with deep possibilities and, I believe, the instrument which best utilizes the touchscreen interface to date. One last note, before you buy this app read the feature list carefully, it is not a DAW, it is not a sequencer... It is an instrument and a controller and a very good one. I know it is frustrating to not be able to easily integrate the music you produce in various different apps, but with a little patience I believe these types of concerns may quickly become a thing of the past.

Help

So I'm not sure why I can't figure this out. I'm trying to achieve two sounds One: A simple bass guitar sound. Two: A electric guitar sound. Also is there a way to record on geo? Aside from that this app is awesome once I figure out these 3 things I'm sure I will come back and give it 5 stars. :)

Very nice

I love the sound quality and design, but I have had to tap the drop down menu button numerous times to get it to work. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Just one thing i ask

OK.Smith

Please please please, include and enable the option to insert at least 1 Major 3rd break between the rows on screen. I have so many voicings from my guitar playing that would really make this a dream come through. Right now it bores me as I climb past four rows. Please with a cherry on top. This will be a 6 star app if you do this. Cheers... Please.

Creative to the Extreme!

Wow! Whoever thought this up is totally, terrifically twisted. Good documentation which unfortunately requires an Internet connection but Wizdom is hardly alone in this practice. That aside, the manual is as flawless as the app - it even demonstrates exercises that should be used to maximize the experience. These folks are pros and it shows!

Making a case for copy and paste

Glishba

Geo Synth has been out long enough for the IOS music world to realize this is the finest super-speed synth and Midi controller in the world. It is an app for your IPad or phone that you can play as a professional instrument and sound better than most. However, Geo limits its universal application going forward by not being able to record itself for Copy&Paste or whatever is coming on IOS-6. Right now recording must be dependent on an outside source, which dimishes Geo's utility! The World is moving rapidly toward inter-app audio and Geo needs to get ahead of the curve by including Copy&Paste ASAP. Great utility is why music apps like your are successful. Don't start short changing the movement you helped create!

I was fabricated in 1950,I am an Analog Man in a Digital World. Simplicity,functionality,are the things I like.People expect complex features in an iPad app. I have a computer for higher featured Music programs and synths.I run Geo through my wireless guitar rig,and its a fun and easy way to make music. I like playing for nursing homes and shut-ins,they enjoy the music and could care less about the source of the sound.When my grandson visits,(almost 1year old) he will be mesmerized and delighted to make music as he moves his little fingers on the iPad.

AudioBus Please!
