Pierce through your compositions with the bright, penetrating voice of an ancient Chinese bamboo flute with ILIO Naada Dizi, a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers real-time expression, including breath-driven dynamics and distinctive membrane buzz, via GeoShred Studio's multi-row continuous pitch surface. With advanced AccelMatrix Naada physical modeling, each note is generated as a continuous acoustic event.
By pressing into the grid, you can shape breath intensity and control the membrane's activation. Sliding across the grid allows you to shift between registers. You can also engage in fully polyphonic playing, supporting full chords, multiple layered dizi voices, or sustained tones while tracing ornamental lines above. Use GeoShred Studio's integrated FX rack for sweetening your performance with reverb, amp simulation, echo, and more. Naada Dizi requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.
This membrane vibrates sympathetically with the air column, adding a buzzing brightness fundamental to the dizi’s tonal identity. The model captures both the membrane’s characteristic resonance and the timbral contrast between the instrument’s lower and upper registers.
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.
