Explore the dark, distinctive alto voice of the viola with ILIO Naada Viola, a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers expressive real-time phrasing or sustained harmonic voicings 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 dynamics and vibrato. You can adjust the viola's tonal darkness and articulation response. You can also engage in fully polyphonic playing, supporting chords, layered inner-voice harmonies, and rich ensemble textures not possible with a single acoustic viola. Use GeoShred Studio's integrated FX rack for sweetening your performance with reverb, amp simulation, echo, and more. Naada Viola requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.
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.
