From the clear upper register to its richer, darker lower range, the ILIO GeoOboe is a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers the instrument's complex harmonic spectrum via GeoShred Studio's multi-row continuous pitch surface. With advanced SWAM physical modeling, the underlying conical-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 timbral shifts between registers in real time. You can engage in expressions like portamento and slide, navigate the instrument's harmonically complex nasal-to-clear tonal range, and control vibrato depth 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. GeoOboe 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.
