Based on our latest AAS physical modeling technology, Strum ships with an impressive collection of steel and nylon acoustic guitars. It includes an elaborate voicing module which automatically voices chords played on the keyboard as a guitar player would on the fretboard.

Extended information

Strumming and picking actions are reproduced by an auto-strum function, special strumming keys, or MIDI loops. An EQ, a multi-effect, and a reverb module complete the package. Strum Acoustics GS-1 runs on both Mac OS X and Windows as a standalone application as well as in host sequencers supporting the VST, Audio Units, and RTAS plug-in formats.

- The right voicings for the chords you know
Strum Acoustic’s chord library contains basic and extended chords available in open, movable, or drop voicings. Play the chords you know and Strum Acoustic voices them as a guitarist would.

- Strum on your keyboard
Down- and up-strokes, slides and bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs, palm muting, muffled strings, and arpeggios are all part of Strum Acoustic’s playing technique vocabulary. Performing them is simply a matter of using the strumming keys or MIDI loops.

- Pick a guitar from your collection
Strum Acoustic features nylon- and steel-string guitars of various sizes, prepped in pick- or finger-sounding colors. A versatile collection that covers a wide range of musical styles. Go from nylon to steel, from jumbo to concert, or from country rock to fingerstyle classical.

- The benefits of physical modeling
Strum Acoustic is an inspiring and animated instrument that reacts dynamically to your playing. Presets, loading in a flash, ensure a smooth workflow. Synthesis parameters alter the sound at its core foundation.
