Strum Session

Strum Session by Applied Acoustics Systems puts acoustic and electric guitar parts under your fingers without requiring guitar technique. Play familiar chords on your MIDI keyboard, and its chord recognition and voicing tools translate them into guitar-style arrangements. Trigger upstrokes, downstrokes, mutes and scratches, or build picking patterns with dedicated arpeggio keys. For a quicker starting point, use the recorded MIDI strumming patterns, then drag them into your DAW to customize the performance. Sounds range from bright dreadnought and mellow nylon textures to twangy electrics, warm crunch and heavier driven tones, with amp and effects processing included. Pitch-wheel bends, slides and modulation-wheel vibrato help bring melodies to life. Based on physical modeling, Strum Session offers smooth dynamics and a small memory footprint, making it a practical choice for keyboard players and home producers adding rhythm guitars or lead lines to their tracks.
