GeoShred Studio – expressive musical instruments for Mac

Admittedly, we are mainly fond of hardware instruments and are not very familiar with digital environments. But when the name Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater) is mentioned, our attention increases immediately. His company Wizdom Music has released GeoShred Studio, an expressive musical instrument for Mac desktop computers.

GeoShred Studio is designed for desktop scoring and composing and uses physically modeled instruments and multiple AUv3 instances. The main advantage of GeoShred Studio is the seamless integration of performances directly into the DAW as editable MIDI/MPE data, allowing for easy editing and re-rendering as part of the compositional workflow.

GeoShred Studio is best operated using GeoShred’s isomorphic keyboard. For users who do not own GeoShred for iOS/iPadOS, the free GeoShred Control MPE controller is available. GeoShred Studio is also compatible with MPE controllers, traditional MIDI controllers and even breath controllers, offering a wide range of performance options.

“Es genügt, einen Ton schön zu spielen” sagte der Komponist Arvo Pärt im Jahre 2005. Diese Aussage ist ebenso einfach wie ich auch exzellent: Es braucht kein Meer an Tönen, denn entscheidend ist der Klang. Dass so mancher Vintage-Synthesizer der 70er und 80er Jahre teils unerreicht hochwertige Klänge liefert, steht außer Frage. Doch tatsächlich leben wir “heute” in einer nahezu perfekten Zeit. Einerseits hat man – mehr oder weniger – noch Zugriff auf die Vintage Analogen, andererseits wird auch bei Neugeräten die wichtige Komponente des hochwertigen Klanges wieder zunehmend berücksichtigt. Doepfer, Cwejman, Synthesizers.com, MacBeth, Moog, GRP, Studio Electronics, COTK, John Bowen und andere Hersteller bauen hervorragende Synthesizer, die den “Klassikern” in nichts nachstehen. All diesen (alten wie neuen) “großartigen” Instrumenten ist Great Synthesizers gewidmet. _________________________________________________________ In 2005 composer Arvo Pärt said: “Playing one tone really well is enough”. In other words, it is sufficient to play one tone 'beautifully'. I agree with that. All musical efforts are focused on the sound itself. Although I studied classical music (piano and drums), it’s the electronic sound that inspires me. Synthesizers are the epitome of new sounds and exciting tonal spheres. Today, many companies produce high-quality - excellent! - synthesizers: Doepfer, Cwejman, MacBeth, Moog, GRP, Synthesizers.com, COTK, Studio Electronics, John Bowen and others. It's their products I'm really interested in ... apart from Vintage Synthesizers, which I have been collecting for 20 years. Subsequent to our former websites Bluesynths and Blogasys, Peter Mahr and I have now created GreatSynthesizers. We hope you like it.
