The ILIO GeoSWAM Collection I bundles six physically modeled solo instruments from Western orchestral and jazz ensembles, utilizing the SWAM modeling engine for direct mapping of pressure, gesture, bow, reed, articulation, and more, in real time. This collection includes violin, cello, three woodwinds (flute, clarinet, and oboe), and tenor saxophone.

ILIO GeoViolin Virtual Instrument Plug-In

Produce truly realistic and expressive solo violin performances with ILIO GeoViolin, a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers full bow-string response on all four strings (G, D, A, E) via GeoShred Studio's multirow continuous pitch surface. With advanced SWAM physical modeling, bow string physics are computed in real time as a live acoustic event.

By pressing into the grid, you can shape bow dynamics and vibrato. You can engage in expressions like portamento, glide, and slide, enjoy direct bow parameter control by shifting contact points, adjust bow speed and pressure, and alter vibrato depth and rate. Use GeoShred Studio's integrated FX rack for sweetening your performance with reverb, amp simulation, echo, and more. GeoViolin requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.

The Violin's Acoustic Identity

The violin reached its acoustic maturity in the Cremonese workshops of the 16th and 17th centuries and has remained essentially unchanged since. Its position at the top of the string family gives it a carrying power disproportionate to its physical size. Using bow-string physics, where controlled contact point, bow speed, and pressure produce a tone rich in upper harmonics, this violin cuts through even a large ensemble. In GeoShred Studio, that continuous physical interaction is modeled in real time, so the instrument responds directly to gesture across its full dynamic range.

GeoSWAM instruments bring Audio Modeling's acclaimed SWAM physical-modeling engine into GeoShred Studio, delivering highly expressive solo strings, brass, and woodwinds that respond in real time to performance gestures instead of relying on static sample playback.

Exceptionally Expressive Performance Control

GeoViolin runs inside GeoShred Studio, where the violin’s full bow-string response is accessible across all four strings (G, D, A, E) on GeoShred’s multi-row continuous pitch surface. Press into the grid to shape bow dynamics and vibrato; shift position to move the contact point from sul tasto to sul ponticello.

The carrying power that makes a single violin audible over a full orchestra responds directly to what your hands do on the surface. The SWAM engine by Audio Modeling drives the underlying acoustic simulation; GeoShred’s integrated FX rack adds reverb, echo, and amp modeling as part of the signal chain throughout.

Optimized for MPE and Expressive Controllers

GeoSWAM products fully support MPE workflows and perform beautifully with GeoShred's multidimensional surface and hardware controllers like the ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, Sensel Morph, wind controllers, and breath controllers.

Lightweight Alternative to Large Sample Libraries

Because GeoSWAM instruments are physically modeled rather than sample based, they offer dramatically smaller storage footprints, near-instant loading, and continuous real-time control without requiring massive orchestral sample installations.

GeoShred Studio and GeoShred Control

GeoShred Studio (required for use with this instrument and sold separately) is moForte’s professional desktop performance platform, a VST3, AU, or AU3 plug-in that runs inside your DAW or standalone. Its isomorphic surface tuned in perfect fourths provides melodic continuity across the violin’s range; slide and portamento movement that would require awkward position shifts on a physical instrument happen naturally on the grid.

Real-time pressure and gesture response are built into the platform from the ground up, not layered on top of a static MIDI instrument. GeoShred Control pairs with GeoShred Studio over USB and puts a multitouch iOS surface in your hands for live play. Wind controllers, breath controllers, and MPE hardware all connect directly as well.

ILIO GeoCello Virtual Instrument Plug-In

Produce truly realistic and expressive solo cello performances with ILIO GeoCello, a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers full bow-string response on all four strings (C, G, D, A) via GeoShred Studio's multi-row continuous pitch surface. With advanced SWAM physical modeling, bow string physics are computed in real time as a live acoustic event.

GeoCello requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.

Cello's Acoustic Identity

The cello spans nearly four octaves and sustains a wider range of bowing expressions than any other string instrument: a deeply legato phrase on the D string, a spiccato passage with the bow bouncing at speed, a quiet flautando tone produced with a fast bow near the fingerboard, each a genuinely different physical event requiring different bow mechanics. In GeoShred Studio, those bowing behaviors respond continuously to pressure and gesture across the full range.

GeoSWAM instruments bring Audio Modeling's acclaimed SWAM physical modeling engine into GeoShred Studio, delivering highly expressive solo strings, brass, and woodwinds that respond in real time to performance gestures instead of relying on static sample playback.

Exceptionally Expressive Performance Control

GeoCello runs inside GeoShred Studio, where the cello’s full expressive range is accessible across all four strings (C, G, D, A) on GeoShred’s multi-row continuous pitch surface. Press into the grid to shape bow dynamics and vibrato; shift position to move contact point from sul tasto to sul ponticello.

Legato phrases, spiccato passages, and sustained bowing all respond continuously to gesture and pressure. The SWAM engine by Audio Modeling drives the underlying acoustic simulation; GeoShred’s integrated FX rack adds reverb, echo, and amp modeling as part of the signal chain throughout.

Optimized for MPE and Expressive Controllers

GeoSWAM products fully support MPE workflows and perform beautifully with GeoShred's multidimensional surface as well as hardware controllers like the ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, Sensel Morph, wind controllers, and breath controllers.

ILIO GeoFlute Virtual Instrument Plug-In

From the soft, breathy low octave to the brilliant penetrating upper register, ILIO GeoFlute is a virtual instrument for the GeoShred Studio platform that offers control of every subtle movement of your performance via GeoShred Studio's multi-row continuous pitch surface. With advanced SWAM physical modeling, the underlying air column, embouchure angle, and resonating tube physics are computed in real time as a live acoustic event.

By pressing into the grid, you can shift smoothly from the low register to the balanced middle register or the brilliant upper octave in real time. You can engage in expressions like portamento, glide, and expressive legato, navigate the instrument's three-octave range, and utilize vibrato, flutter tongue, and tone color 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. GeoFlute requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.

The Flute's Acoustic Identity

The concert flute's three registers are acoustically distinct: the low register is naturally soft and breathy, the middle register balanced and full, and the upper register is brilliant and penetrating through overblown harmonics. The tonal shift between them is a continuous function of breath pressure, embouchure, and air speed. GeoShred Studio places that continuous behavior under direct gestural control, so the performer's input shapes where in the range the instrument speaks at any moment.

Optimized for MPE and Expressive Controllers

Lightweight Alternative to Large Sample Libraries

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.

Clarinet's Acoustic Identity

The clarinet's cylindrical bore suppresses even harmonics and causes it to overblow at the twelfth rather than the octave, producing two acoustically distinct registers: the chalumeau (low, dark, and reedy) and the clarion (bright, full, and projecting), separated by a break that defines the instrument's character. GeoShred Studio brings the full physical transition between registers under continuous control of breath pressure and embouchure gesture, delivering one unified acoustic process across over three and a half octaves.

Exceptionally Expressive Performance Control

GeoClarinet runs inside GeoShred Studio, where the clarinet’s full tonal range, from the dark chalumeau register through the clarion break and into the altissimo, is accessible on GeoShred’s multi-row continuous pitch surface. Move across the grid to navigate the instrument’s three-and-a-half-octave range; press into the surface to shape embouchure pressure, reed dynamics, and the subtle tonal shifts between registers in real time.

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.

ILIO GeoOboe Virtual Instrument Plug-In

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.

Oboe's Acoustic Identity

The oboe's conical bore produces a nearly complete harmonic series, giving it a penetrating, immediately identifiable tone that cuts through even complex orchestral textures. Its characteristic vibrato comes from slight variations in breath pressure and embouchure, and every player's handmade double reeds shape the instrument's character differently. GeoShred Studio captures that tonal specificity continuously, with the move from a clear upper register to a richer, darker lower range responding directly to pressure and gesture input.

Optimized for MPE and Expressive Controllers

GeoSWAM products fully support MPE workflows and perform beautifully with GeoShred's multidimensional surface, as well as hardware controllers like the ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, Sensel Morph, wind controllers, and breath controllers.

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 control natural chromatic access, portamento, and glide without key switching or articulation mode changes. You can navigate the instrument's full tonal range 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. GeoTenorSax requires GeoShred Studio (sold separately) to function, which is available in AU, AU3, VST3, or standalone formats for macOS only.

Tenor Saxophone's Acoustic Identity

The tenor saxophone is a conical-bore, single-reed instrument made of brass, pitched in B flat, whose warm low register, projecting middle range, and raw altissimo top makes it the defining solo voice of jazz. Growl, vibrato, and subtone are not discrete playing modes but continuous variations of the same acoustic mechanism, shaped by simultaneous humming, jaw movement, and breath control. In GeoShred Studio, all three respond to continuous pressure and gesture input across the full tonal range.

Optimized for MPE and Expressive Controllers

Lightweight Alternative to Large Sample Libraries
