Naada Acoustic Guitar for GeoShred Studio

STEEL-STRING RESONANCE WITH FULL CHORDAL AND FINGERSTYLE CAPABILITY

Real, performative guitar, without years of practice. Naada Acoustic Guitar places a polyphonic physically modeled steel-string acoustic guitar inside GeoShred Studio, where strummed chords, fingerpicked patterns, and expressive melodic lines respond continuously to pressure and gesture on the pitch surface. The AccelMatrix engine captures the acoustic guitar's bright resonance, natural attack, and body decay.

Works with MPE controllers, wind and breath controllers, and GeoShred Control, a free iPhone and iPad companion app that delivers a multi-touch expressive surface for live performance.

Naada Acoustic Guitar runs inside GeoShred Studio, where the steel-string acoustic guitar's bright, projecting tone is accessible across GeoShred's multi-row continuous pitch surface. Press into the grid to shape dynamics and attack; slide between positions for hammer-ons, pull-offs, and expressive bends. Naada Acoustic Guitar is fully polyphonic, supporting full chord voicings, arpeggiated patterns, and multi-voice fingerstyle textures. The AccelMatrix physical modeling engine powers the underlying acoustic simulation; GeoShred's integrated FX rack adds reverb, echo, and amp modeling as part of the signal chain.

What's Inside Naada Acoustic Guitar:

• GeoShred's continuous pitch surface spanning the acoustic guitar's full range with portamento, glide, and expressive slide built into the layout.
• Full polyphony for strummed chords, arpeggios, fingerpicked patterns, and multi-voice textures.
• Adjustable instrument parameters for shaping pick attack, body resonance, and tonal brightness.
• Integrated GeoShred FX rack including EchoMT, Reverb, AmpCab, and additional processors available in the signal chain during performance.
• MPE controller, wind and breath controller, and GeoShred Control companion app support.
• AccelMatrix physical modeling engine providing continuous, real-time acoustic simulation.

Bright Projection and Natural Body Resonance

The steel-string acoustic guitar has a spruce or cedar top with a rosewood or mahogany body, producing a tone that is brighter and more projecting than its nylon-string counterpart. Played with a pick or fingerstyle, its sound is defined by a pronounced attack followed by a sustain that varies with body size and construction. In GeoShred Studio, the AccelMatrix model captures the full resonance and decay character of the steel-string body, with polyphonic capability that supports everything from open chord strumming and fingerpicked patterns to single-note lead work.

GeoShred Studio and GeoShred Control

GeoShred Studio runs as a VST3, AU, or AUv3 plugin inside Logic Pro, Cubase, Reaper, and other major DAWs, or as a standalone application. Its multi-row isomorphic surface is tuned in perfect fourths, a layout that mirrors the guitar's own standard tuning intervals and provides a familiar framework for chord shapes, scale patterns, and melodic movement across the fretboard.

GeoShred Control pairs with GeoShred Studio via USB and puts a second multi-touch surface on an iPhone or iPad for use during live performance. MPE hardware, wind and breath controllers connect directly as well.

GeoShred Studio Required. Running Naada Acoustic Guitar requires GeoShred Studio ($50), a separate required purchase.
