From the dark chalumeau register through the clarion break and into the altissimo, ILIO GeoClarinet is a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers expressive clarinet playing on all registers via GeoShred Studio's multi-row continuous pitch surface. With advanced SWAM physical modeling, the underlying cylindrical-bore physics are computed in real time as a live acoustic event.
By pressing into the grid, you can shape embouchure pressure, reed dynamics, and the subtle tonal shifts between registers in real time. You can engage in expressions like portamento, glide, and slide, navigate the instrument's three-and-a-half octave range, and cross registers as a continuous function of breath pressure and gesture input. Use GeoShred Studio's integrated FX rack for sweetening your performance with reverb, amp simulation, echo, and more. GeoClarinet requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.
The register break that players train for years to cross cleanly responds as a continuous function of breath pressure and gesture input. The SWAM engine models the underlying cylindrical-bore acoustics; GeoShred Studio’s integrated FX rack delivers reverb, echo, and amp modeling throughout the performance chain.
Wind and breath controllers, which align naturally with the clarinet’s breath-driven acoustic behavior, connect directly to GeoShred Studio, which is built from the ground up for continuous multidimensional input. GeoShred Control pairs over USB with GeoShred Studio, putting a free multitouch iOS surface in a performer’s hands during live play.
