Praise for the GeoShred family of apps:
GeoShred is brilliant- it's a real instrument."
Eddie Jobson.
A fantastic new invention which is going to revolutionize the way music is played, expressed and learned! "GeoShred" is one of the foremost best musical inventions I've had the pleasure to experience in recent years. Definitely 5 stars out of 5! GIGANTASTIVISSIMO.....R...A...Z !!!!!"
Patrick Moraz.
That's just nuts. You're [Jordan] the best-guitarist-without-a-guitar of all time.
Joe Satriani.
GeoShred is a breakthrough [musical instrument] for the iPad. Some might think it's the best evidence yet that there has indeed been reverse engineering of alien technology, but if that's the case, then aliens play guitar...and worship Jimi Hendrix.

Hi everyone, here is a place to discuss GeoShred Pro.
Connecting to Mac or PC based AUs/VSTs
Here are some notes that may be helpful. Connecting to Mac or PC based AUs/VSTs.
The basic deal is, you need to get MIDI from an iOS device to a mac or a PC. This is an iOS issue and is not specific to GeoShred. In order to do that there are three possible solutions:
You can use a digital interface like an iConnectivity Audio4+. This will work for either a mac or a PC.
If you are on a mac, then you can directly connect to the mac using a standard USB lightning cable.
For devices running iOS 11/macOS 10.13 or greater, this is supported directly by the iOS/macOS. Here is a video application note on how to do that. https://youtu.be/ChnZ2iCoYiA.
If you are on iOS < 11.x or < macOS 10.13, there is a product called MIDImux/StudioMux that can do this for you. Here is an application note on how to do that. https://youtu.be/ZKZfDvb4QEM.
If you are on a PC and if you want to use a standard USB lightning cable, you can use a third-party product called studiomux https://zerodebug.com/studiomux.
The second part of the problem, is that you most likely want to use the MPE MIDI configuration under Menu> MIDI. Note that many synths (VSTs) do not support MPE, but are multi-timbral. In that case you will want to chose the "Multi" MIDI configuration under Menu> MIDI.
The third part of the problem, is that you need to match the pitch bend range between a GeoShred, and the target synth (AU or VST) on the mac or windows. side.
GeoShred sends RPN0, which is the MIDI command for setting to pitch bend range on the target synthesizer. However, many AU/VSTs do not implement this correctly. In which case, you will need to manually set the pitch bend range in the AU/VST's UI to match the pitch been range that's in the multi MIDI configuration.
