The Keyboardist's Acoustic Guitar. Can't learn the guitar in time for your deadline. Your favorite session player is out of town. Romplers are not quite there. Strum is the just-right solution.
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.
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.
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.
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.
