Applied Acoustics Strum GS-2 is a plug-in for the production of guitar tracks. With a huge collection of acoustic and electric guitars, automatic chord recognition, sophisticated chord voicing, integrated strumming and picking action, MIDI riff library, amp and effects, playing guitar on a keyboard has never been so easy.
Creating a realistic guitar track from samples is a tough job. Guitar players voice chords differently, strumming is not easily reproduced on a keyboard, and guitar players use all sort of techniques such as palm muting, scratching and sliding simply not available on a keyboard. Strum GS-2 now does all of this for you!
Use the vast collection of recorded strumming patterns over the chords you play and find inspiration for your track. Drag and drop the loop to your host sequencer and make it perfect for you song.
Strum GS-2 chord library contains basic and extended chords available in open, movable, or drop voicings. Play the chords you know and Strum voices them automatically as a guitarist would. Trigger down and upstrokes, scratches and mutes, or create picking patterns using the arpeggio keys. Slide and bend with the pitch wheel or aftertouch. Add vibrato with the modulation wheel. Natural hammer-ons and pull-offs when playing leads.
Hand picking or playing an heavy riff? Use a pick that is rounded or sharp, stiff or soft. Dig into the strings or use a light touch, play near the bridge or towards the neck for an evolving tone. Select material and natural decay for each string. Precise control of coupling and interactions at the bridge breath life into your tone with beating and organic envelopes. Whether they are single coils or humbuckers, pickups are a fundamental part of the electric guitar sound. They shape the whole instrumentβs response and their multiple configurations give tremendous tone flexibility. The soundboard of a guitar radiates vibrations from the strings. Choose a body size to color the sound with specific resonances and find the right character. As on a real guitar, strings interact with the players hands and frets. Fine tune your rhythm parts and riffs with palm muting, scratches, and hammer-ons.
