New version 7000.327.1.436 → 7000.383.1.497

- Fixed GeoPizzBass going silent and reverting to "not purchased" even after Restore Purchases - New — Three new playing surfaces. A preset can now be saved with one of four keyboards: the Isomorphic grid, the Piano Keyboard, the Uniform Keyboard and the Janko Keyboard. Pick the type at the top of Menu > Keyboard. - New — All playing surfaces now support Touch Velocity! Touch Velocity uses iOS/iPadOS device's Accelerometer to measure how hard you tap a note. How hard you tap a note is directly converted into MIDI velocity. - New — All the new playing surfaces support MPE. This means that the Piano Keyboard is an MPE keyboard, the Uniform Keyboard is an MPE keyboard and the Janko Keyboard is an MPE keyboard - New — Asymmetric pitch bend range is now supported for all playing surfaces. For instance, your pitch bend range up could be 24 semitones and your pitch bend range down could be -12. - New — GeoJamTrax backing tracks including: Ode To Pink (Uniform Keyboard), Dirt_Blues, Todd Is God (Piano Keyboard), Tribal, Easy Street, Be-Whole(Janko Keyboard) - New — Three new factory setlists — PKB Keyboard, UKB Keyboard and JANKO Keyboard — 50 presets each one for each instrument type and MIDI Out type - New — Multi-select import. The import file picker now lets you select many presets and setlists and import them all in one go. - New — MIDI Visual Feedback of incoming-note indicators now show both expression axes at once: vertical (CC74) motion moves the indicator up and down while pressure brightens and darkens it — the two no longer fight over the display - New — The Naada plucked-string keyboard presets have a Mono button for legato playing, so you can switch without opening Performance Settings. - New — Strum zones can be turned on and off individually. Double-tap to enable or disable each of the Chords, Strum and Keyboard zones; the remaining zones resize to fill the space, and re-enabling restores your original layout exactly. - New — The standalone GeoShred Studio window is resizable, holding a constant 4:3 aspect ratio as you drag it. Launch and resize flicker are fixed, and the keyboard no longer lays itself over the chord and strum zones after a resize. - New Connect Send can keep the sending device's audio on — a MIDI configuration option, so you can hear both instruments - GarageBand tip: for recording the new keyboards, use the MPE Channel Mode MIDI configuration — and make sure GarageBand's Support MPE setting is turned on (recent GarageBand updates turn it off). - Improved or fixed - MPE, temperaments, sustain, Hammer On Pull Off Legato (aka HOPO), setlist management, visual feedback, startup flow, MOTD context in plugin hosts, handling of hardware interrupts for touches, LinnStrument support, Control Surface picker menu, GeoSWAM Pan, GeoSWAM Course Tune

About

GeoShred Play Version 7 With In-App Purchases for GeoSWAM and Naada instruments on devices running iOS 13 or later. With GeoShred Play, everyone can shred. Play with confidence on GeoShred’s innovative diatonic playing surface, where every key can fit the scale. Slide your finger in any direction and let the music flow with expressive vibrato, seamless fretless playing, and GeoShred’s groundbreaking intelligent pitch rounding. GeoShred Play is the play-only version of the award-winning GeoShred musical instrument for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It is a great way to get started with GeoShred, giving you access to the expressive GeoShred performance surface and the ability to play GeoShred Pro presets. GeoShred Play can also be upgraded** to the functionality of GeoShred Pro, adding powerful features including preset editing, AUv3 plug-in support, MIDI/MPE, and setlist editing. GeoSWAM and Naada instruments are also available as In-App Purchases. GeoShred’s expressive performance surface with “almost magic” pitch-rounding algorithms is coupled with physics-based models of musical instruments. It is a fusion of Jordan Rudess’ performance concepts and moForte’s powerful modeled guitar and effects technology, based on the physical modeling research of Dr. Julius O. Smith III of Stanford/CCRMA.
