What Strum GS-2 does
The developer describes Strum GS-2 as a session guitarist for producing guitar tracks, built around a large collection of acoustic and electric guitars. Automatic chord recognition and chord voicing are included, so a progression can be played back with guitar phrasing rather than as plain block chords.
Key features
- Session-style playing. The plugin is presented as a session guitarist, playing guitar parts for a track instead of acting as a sampled instrument played note by note.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Search strings such as keygen, serial key and activation code are attached to this release, and the crack cluster is what most users type.
- Repack, .rar and .iso builds. Repacks circulate as .rar and .iso archives, and the x64 crack and x86 crack builds are the ones most often named in the query.
Use cases
- Guitar parts for a production. The plugin supplies guitar parts for a track from chords, so a producer can add a guitar layer without recording a player.
Compatibility
The developer names many hosts, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Pro Tools.
Who it is for
It is a trial-available instrument for anyone checking how the guitar library and chord voicing fit a session before deciding.
