Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS1
Acoustic Guitar Synthesizer

The Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS1 applies AAS' physical modeling expertise to acoustic guitar.  Strum boasts both Nylon and Steel string modeled instruments, implementing fully variable user parameters that only physical modeling can provide, such as string tone, body cavity tone, fingered or picked strumming with pick thickness, and more.  And, AAS went one giant step further by including algorithmic chord strumming that automatically translates your keyboard triads into perfect guitar voicings. You have to play it to believe it.

Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS1 Features:

Sometimes, you can't learn the guitar in time for your deadline, your favorite session player is out of town, and romplers are not quite there. Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS1 is the just-right solution.  Strum 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.

The Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS1 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.  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.

Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS1 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.
