Description
Say hello to SHREDDER: the first professional iOS synthesizer designed for guitar! Raspy synth swells? Gotcha covered. Bass-doubled riffs? Yup. Strings 'n Things for beefing up the mix? Ditto. Luscious chords with the pick of one note? Sure thing. No special synth pickup needed.
SHREDDER is a synthesizer controlled by your guitar. Pop it on, plug in your guitar, hit the "Guitar Synth" button and start jamming. SHREDDER comes with a true analog synth engine including dual oscillators, 3 types of filter, a dedicated FM envelope as well as other goodies like dual LFOs, a virtual pedalboard and more. Chose among 100+ built-in presets, or create and save endless ones of your own.
SHREDDER comes with a dedicated guitar mix fader to mix in your guitar, and has attack and decay sensitivity faders to allow you to customize guitar tracking to your playing and input interface, whether its a USB in, a guitar adapter or the plain built-in mic. Headphones are required with use of the built in-mic, and we always recommend following the manufacturer's instructions for your audio interface to prevent feedback or a noisy signal.
SHREDDER's Chordmaker allows you to play up to 4-interval chords with ease: just play one note! Use the Chordmaker map to design and save your own progressions, or check out the built-in chord progressions.
But SHREDDER doesn't just toot its own horn: It's also a MIDI interface. Browse and select virtual MIDI compatible apps or MIDI Compatible devices inside the app, and select which one's you'd like to control. Hit "MIDI OUT" when ready, and start driving any of your favorite apps/synths/drum machines/etc via SHREDDER. And, yes...you can drive all of the 16 MIDI channels at the same time.

Surprisingly good
The tracking in this app works incredibly well, even when playing extremely fast. Sweep picking, economy picking, two hand tapping, etc, it will get it all as long as you play cleanly. It does not seem to pick up on multiple picking of the same note, but I found this to be very minor compared to how well it does everything else. This app will literally change the way you think about guitar.
The built-in synth holds its own, but more important is the ability to control other synth apps, which makes this as much a tool as a toy. I've only spent a little time with the chord programmer, but I can tell there is a lot of potential there.
Inspirational--and I don't play guitar!
Lots of fun to play with. Decent synth on its own and great guitar to midi tool. I use it withmy Ewi and the chord matrix is both a great inspiration and a slight frustration. It's super fun, but if it would choose chord inversions to close up the harmony, it would be a really powerful tool for me as well. If you could do a little more to filter incoming variations, it would be awesome as a vocal tool, too. no complaints, though, just feature suggestions from an already inspired user. Great work!
