Love It! – GeoShred Review

I'm a guitar player. Why would I need a guitar emulation app? This isn't just a guitar emulation app. This has sounds that are inspired by guitar and you play as if you were playing on strings (depending on your settings), i.e. bends and vibrato, you can set up your signal chain like you would a guitar, but the sounds that come out of this are much different from anything I've ever been able to pull from six strings over a couple of magnets sent through some transistors and into some tubes for amplification. If you don't know the fretboard there are now settings that make it easy for anyone to play music in GeoShred. If you prefer a keyboard controller it has the necessary midi capabilities. I haven't looked in depth at the midi programmability so I don't know if mapping is available but I assume there is probably some because I've seen videos of Jordan Rudess playing on a Roli Seaboard controlling this app and it sounds amazing with the multidimensional control that keyboard affords. To my knowledge there isn't another synthesizer that creates guitar inspired sounds in the way that this one does and the sounds are pretty awesome. That alone makes this a must have app. Awesomely unique. One of my favorite ways to jam... I open up Korg Gadget and create a progression using the synths and drum machines available within. Once I have something that's good to jam over I put it on infinite repeat and flip over to GeoShred where I can practice speed technique or just cut loose and wail. Lots of fun and different every time.
