WARM CONICAL-BORE BRASS WITH FULL POLYPHONIC HORN SECTION VOICINGS. Bring emotion back into digital instruments. Naada French Horn places a physically modeled French horn inside GeoShred Studio, where the horn's warm conical-bore tone, dynamic range from distant pianissimo to brassy fortissimo, and open-to-stopped timbral variation respond directly to pressure and gesture on the playing surface. The instrument is fully polyphonic, supporting chords and layered horn voicings simultaneously.
Works with MPE controllers, wind and breath controllers, and GeoShred Control, a free iPhone and iPad companion app that delivers a multi-touch expressive surface for live performance.

Naada French Horn runs inside GeoShred Studio, placing the orchestra's great bridging voice on GeoShred's multi-row continuous pitch surface. The horn's conical bore produces a warm, mellow, rounded tone that blends naturally with both woodwinds and brass, and the model captures this character across a range spanning more than three octaves. Press into the surface to move from a distant, contained pianissimo into full brassy fortissimo; slide across the grid for smooth legato and glissandi. Because the instrument is polyphonic, you can voice horn section chords, layer sustained pads, or hold a pedal tone while tracing a melodic line above. GeoShred's integrated FX rack adds EchoMT, Reverb, and AmpCab processing directly in the signal chain.

The Orchestra's Bridging Voice. The French horn descends from natural hunting horns used in European courts from at least the 16th century. With approximately four meters of tubing coiled into a compact circular form and a widely flaring bell, the horn's conical bore produces the warmest, most blended tone in the brass family. Its three or four rotary valves direct airflow through additional tubing to change pitch, while the player's right hand inside the bell continues to shape tuning and timbre. This dual role as both a brass and a woodwind-blending voice made the horn a crucial element in orchestral writing. The model captures the instrument's capacity for both distant, floating pianissimo and powerful, open fortissimo, along with the timbral contrast between open and stopped bell positions.

GeoShred Studio and GeoShred Control. GeoShred Studio operates as a VST3, AU, or AUv3 plugin inside major DAWs, or as a standalone application. Its isomorphic surface is tuned in perfect fourths, providing a layout where melodic intervals repeat consistently across rows. Pressure and gesture are mapped continuously to instrument parameters, making the surface a direct conduit for expression rather than a series of on/off triggers.

GeoShred Control is a free companion app for iPhone and iPad that connects via USB, adding a second multi-touch expressive surface for live performance. MPE hardware controllers and wind or breath controllers connect directly to GeoShred Studio as well.
