August 17 GeoShred MIDI Its Not Just An App, Its An INSTRUMENT!" Wizdom Music & moForte announce the release of GeoShred Ver- sion 2, an exciting update to the award-winning GeoShred musical instrument for iPad, now with MIDI/MPE support. 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”, has been enhanced with un- precedented MIDI/MPE I/O control, new effects, and additional model control parameters. GeoShred is highly expressive when controlling, and being con- trolled by, instruments that use the upcoming “MPE” MIDI speci- fication (MIDI Polyphonic Expres- sion). 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. 19
