Attention iPad 2 (or higher) owners - free GeoShred app download code
Over at Harmony Central we're trying a new idea - a "crowdsourced" review of Moforte's GeoShred, a really amazing app designed by Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. I love the thing, here's a review I wrote of it several months ago. We have a limited number of free download codes that we can give away to people who promise to write up their opinions, pro, con, good, bad, amazed, or "meh" for the "crowdsourced" review on Harmony Central. (Note that to post in the thread, you'll need to register on Harmony Central. It requires an email address so we can verify the registration is real, but it is not shared with any third parties.) Here is the thread where comments are made. Once you log in with your user name and password, you can post in the thread. If you're interested, PM me here in the Cakewalk forums or at Harmony Central (user name Anderton). Check out this kinda ambient video Jordan did with it...

Looking and sounding quite nice. I'm in. Edit: and I checked it out. Quite interesting indeed. Uses iPad possibilities to the full. But more importantly, it feels like a new instrument, combining the sliding and harmonic possibilities of a guitar with all sorts of sounds like cinematic textures or pads. Different playing styles (piano / guitar / slide) and even palm mute or guitar-like feedback allow for a broad canvas of expressions, Above all, this app is highly musical and creative as if a violin or guitar was reinvented to play all sorts of instruments by pushing and pulling strings. Guitar presets include a dobro steel guitar, a sitar and a shredding axe. I also love the on-screen directions, making it easy to understand the app. Maybe I would have preferred another GUI like the colorful skeumorphism of Seline Redux or the stark modernity of Orphion, but that would be nitpicking. Would be great to see some flutes or other wind instruments next update. All-in-all, one of the best iPad apps I ever played. Congrats, mr. Rudess. You ARE a wizard.

But it's also a complete instrument unto itself, you can simply route the audio output into an audio interface or amplifier. By the way I neglected to mention that to post in the thread, you'll need to register on Harmony Central. It requires an email address so we can verify the registration is real, but it is not shared with any third parties. I'll go back and add this to my initial post. Feel free to PM me and ask for a code. We have some left...

It's worth it, guys. This is one of the best apps I ever used on an iPad. And it's the first time I felt that this cold slab of glass can really be an original instrument on its own, instead of a merely mimicking gimmick. Moreover, it even works on my old 16GB iPad 2.

Just got this, too, and spent a little bit of time messing around with it. Agree that it is unique and has lots of possibilities. Also has IAA and Audiobus support, and I fired up a cubasis project and played along with it a bit. Was interesting, for sure. Haven't yet really explored all the possibilities, nor have I tried all the modes yet, but I'm happy to discover something new like this.

It’s one of the most musical apps I know on the iPad. Shows you why making music on a tablet is indeed worth your while. Get it !!!

I just did- amazing! This will give me something to do when I'm away from my DAW. PLUS Jordan Rudess is a hero of mine so if anything I've been a touch tardy in acquiring.

ZincTrumpet That's a great deal. I've had the app since it's opening offer (15 pounds) so to get it for free is fantastic. It's had an excellent update recently too with some more ethnic sounds and other stuff. Here's thesoundtestroom's (Doug's) review of the update ... and one he made more recently Also a track using Geoshred made by Jordan Rudess (and check out the skill of Mohini Dey too) ...
Could you please advice how to downloaded to my I pad ? Thanks

You'll need to follow Craig Anderton's instructions in the first post above (PM Craig, register on Harmony Central, post a review etc). Once you have a download code you can redeem it on your iPad by opening the App Store and scrolling down to the bottom of the home page and hitting the redeem button.

Hi Mesh, I have to admit that I am an Android fan and have had many Android phones and tablets over the years and still have an Android phone. I like being able to access the file system if I want to much like a PC (although IOS 11 on Apple hardware is moving in that direction). There are now some half decent music apps on Android, it's just that there are so many more on IOS. Where music/guitar/recording apps are concerned I eventually admitted defeat and bought an iPad a while ago. It opened up so many high quality music apps to me such as Geoshred. Some apps can even be considered something of a bargain such as Neo-Soul Studio which is $24.99 on IOS and is a 100% FULL recreation of the desktop version ($199). In the meantime I will find your other thread and put down any Android apps that I can think of...

I've never owned any Apple products (my wife has an iPhone) as I generally have preferred Android due to the access etc...like ZT mentioned. Not really planning on buying an iPad just for this (or even for all the other nice apps)......I'd have to justify it's usage for more than that. I just wish Android would hop on board with the advancement that Apple has taken in music apps where both platforms could benefit from nice apps like GeoShred.
