GeoShred 7000.376.1.490 Aug 14 2026

• 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 plane 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
• 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).
• Fixed for MPE. Chords on the manager channel are now rendered polyphonically per the MPE spec.
• Fixed — Importing setlists now works. Menu > Files > Import silently ignored setlist files; presets and setlists now both import, with a confirmation when the import completes.
• New — Multi-select import. The import file picker now lets you select many presets and setlists and import them all in one go.
• Fixed user setlists could disappear — several internal cleanup paths could delete a healthy setlist (especially with iCloud Drive on, where the deletion spread to all your devices); all of them are now guarded
• Fixed turning iCloud Drive off no longer silently leaves behind files that had not finished downloading — GeoShred now requests their download and tells you exactly which files are still in iCloud
• Fixed hammer-on/pull-off from external MIDI controllers (e.g. LinnStrument): pull-offs now sound — previously only the hammer-ons did
• Fixed — Big improvements for the LinnStrument and similar controllers in "Channel Per Row" / per-channel MIDI configurations. Sliding a note while holding another note on the same row now plays as one smooth, continuous slide — the controller's quantized "Smart MIDI" slide steps are now decoded — instead of stuttering re-triggered notes
• Fixed a slide no longer pulls other held notes on the same channel out of tune — the pitch bend now follows only the sliding finger
• Fixed pressure and timbre expression no longer flutter while two notes are held on one channel
• Fixed notes played legato on one channel now always land on the same GeoShred string — they could split across two strings, breaking hammer-on/pull-off
• Fixed an incoming MIDI note outside the keyboard's visible range now flashes its string yellow instead of being drawn at the wrong position
• Fixed rapid same-row trills through the MPE Channel Mode configuration (LinnStrument and similar) — new notes no longer play silent when the controller sends a momentary zero pressure
• Fixed Naada instruments wobbling out of tune when sliding while a second note is held on the same row
• Fixed bowed GeoSWAM instruments (e.g. GeoViolin): two-finger legato on one row no longer makes the bow expression stutter
• Fixed monophonic GeoSWAM presets now show incoming MIDI notes on the correct rows (previously just a repeating yellow flash)
• Fixed breath and expression control from single-channel MIDI controllers (breath/wind controllers) — expression now reaches the sound, not just the on-screen control, and each note of a chord responds to its own pressure independently
• Fixed the pitch wheel now bends chords played on the MPE manager channel (single-channel controllers through the MPE Channel Mode configuration)
• Fixed changing the number of frets or strings in Performance Settings — incoming MIDI notes now display in the right place immediately (previously wrong until the preset was reloaded)
• New — 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
• Fixed the note indicator for pitch-wheel bends on the MPE manager channel now moves exactly as far as the pitch bends, instead of sliding off the screen
• Fixed expressive recordings (e.g. a GeoTenorSax swell) played back flat in GarageBand — recorded expression now stays on the note's channel through recording and playback
• Fixed GeoShred Studio's first run after a clean re-install: the intro help and the iCloud Drive question now appear on the first launch instead of the second (the iCloud question is also fixed for GeoShred Play and Control)
• Improved volume levels for the Naada Oud, Naada Acoustic Guitar and Naada Acoustic Bass
• Fixed the resonator for the Naada Rudra Veena and Saraswati Veena presets
• Fixed the Talybont 12 backing track (was saved with an oboe on the first track)
• Fixed Sustain pedal: releasing the pedal no longer cuts off keys you are still holding
• Fixed changing the guitar instrument no longer resets your customized Release Time and related settings, and the previous instrument no longer keeps ringing through the switch
• Fixed Control-surface picker menus are now grouped and ordered, with duplicates removed; repaired 15 factory presets
• Fixed broken links throughout the in-app help
• Fixed Incoming MIDI pitch bends now correctly follow the selected temperament
• Fixed MPE pitch-wheel and member-channel bends now combine correctly
• Fixed a crash on the first touch after cold-launching into a SWAM preset
• Fixed the keyboard vanishing on the first note after a cold launch
• Fixed a blank keyboard and no sound when cold-launching into a SWAM preset (GeoViolin)
• Fixed the Store and close (X) buttons overlapping in the main menu
• Fixed missing pan controller for the GeoSWAM instruments
• Fixed Naada tremolo playing while in the preset editor
• Fixed Naada coarse tuning being disrupted by a global tuning change and restore
• Fixed incorrect artwork for Naada Collection I, II & III
• Fixed the in-app purchase buy sheet appearing twice ("already purchased")
• Fixed Restore Purchases now confirms when your purchases have been restored
• Fixed GeoShred Play & Control "Pro Upgrade" showing a blank price and never unlocking
• Fixed tuning errors for SWAM and Naada instruments on microtonal scales (Hijaz, Byzantine)
• Fixed Pitch bends now stay in tune during tempered slides on SWAM and Naada instruments
• Fixed incorrect root ET-Diff values; a factory scale pick now syncs the global temperament
• Fixed Corrected bad tuning (ET-diff) values in the scale library, including two broken Balinese scales
• Fixed Custom temperament editor: 3-decimal ET-diff precision, with editing correctly locked in quarter-tone mode
• Fixed user setlists not restoring correctly when reloading a DAW project
• Fixed GarageBand (iOS) not persisting the preset/setlist across a project reload
