This video, via Nick at The365AppChallenge, takes a look at Wizdom Music’s new Geo Synthesizer.
Geo Synthesizer is a collaboration between Wizdom Music’s Jordan Rudess, Kevin Chartier (MorphWiz, SampleWiz) and Rob Fielding (Mugician). Geo Synthesizer is intended to be an ‘expressive musical instrument specifically created for a multitouch surface’.
Some of the more unique features of Geo Synthesizer are microtonal support, ‘snap speed control’ – which allows for accurate pitch control on a continuously pitched instrument and a unique key layout.
If you’ve tried out Geo Synthesizer, let us know what you think of it!
I think it’s great. I haven’t tried MIDI or SampleWiz importing yet, but the simple built-in synthesis engine is pretty decent – a simple sine wave can get pretty hairy with FM, Gain and different added harmonics. It’s a really great app for drones and as primarily a guitar player, I feel I get more out of the interface.
