Hi Chris.. Thanks for the reply.The expressiveness of GeoShred is what amazes me, and is what IMO makes it unique , along with its intelligent pitch rounding after 'fretless' glides.. Also the possibilities for use as a controller recording to a DAW, now that it has midi in and out. I have not seen or heard that amount of controllable and assignable modulation anywhere else, and the routing detail is for me, very impressive.. I think that even playing sitar and modified classical guitar voices would satisfy me, without the huge possibilities of further editing and saving other 'heavy guitar' or 'weird guitar'-type sounds, and the arpeggios and chordal strums could also be useful.. It has impressive effects also, in my opinion. Using it solely as a right hand-assigned instrument, I had thought it an ideal compliment for my Starr Labs 'steinberger'-type Ztar, probably mounted in an Alesis iO dock 2 or similar....Also interesting is the ability to change tunings as is changing the distance between 'strings' , which might be much more useable with a tablet with more real-estate, like that of an i-pad pro with a 12.9" screen. If it is possible to set it up as a sort of easily playable isomorphic instrument, then fast right hand patterns might be very possible without two hands playing on the screen all the time. I'm always looking for interesting instruments to integrate with my Ztars into a useable system, and I looked at the Eigenharp Pico and other touch-type instruments like a small Keith McMillen K-board, but the GeoShred for me, seems to go much more in a direction that I like, and it has an organic and very realistic sound to its modulation and to its voice assignments and setups, that for me, nothing else has... just my 2 stotinki's worth ( Bulgarian cents :-) regards richard bg (Bulgaria)
