Its performance features and the sound quality of its physical modeling far outstrip any sample-based guitar plug-in.
We’ve completely reinvented Strum GS-2—
You didn’t know you could play guitar so well.
The acoustic and electric guitars are now included in a single plug-in.
A completely reviewed factory library with a huge collection of production-ready acoustic and electric guitars.
An extensive set of strumming patterns in MIDI loop packs covering different techniques and musical styles.
A completely revised string module, finer pick/finger interaction, integrated coupling at the bridge, and precise body response for a super rich and natural tone
The new Keyboard mode lets you play lead lines and your own voicings.
The new Loop mode gives you direct access to elaborate rhythm figures—which you can pick from a large collection of MIDI loops covering many musical styles—to supplement your chord progressions.
Completely revised strumming engine for expressive and natural strumming.
These new additions are perfect to add punch and definition to your sound, letting you cut through any dense mix or stage.
The new output limiter protects your ears and monitors during experimentation with the synth’s parameters while providing a maximum of distortion-free dynamics.
Redesigned from the ground up, the new interface now divides Strum GS-2 into three panels: Play presents shortcuts to the performance and effect parameters including bypass switches for quick edits; Edit lets you tweak and create your sound; while FX supplies equalizer, compressor, multi-effect, and reverb processors for a final sheen.
Strum GS-2’s new manager allows simple and efficient organization, backup, and sharing of your sounds.
Strum GS-2 now runs in native 64-bit on Mac OS X and Windows making it compatible with the latest sequencers.
Reinvigorated and polished, Strum GS-2’s multi-effect processor features our best sounding chorus, delay, phaser, flanger, distortion, notch filter, wah-wah, auto-wah, and reverb to date!
Fully functional. Less than 88.0 MB to download. Seconds to install.
The convenience of having all your guitars at the flick of a switch.
With more than 200 different acoustic and electric guitars—nylon, steel, single coil and humbucker fitted pickups, clean, crunchy, distorted—, a 2-channel amplifier, spring reverb, speaker cabinet, and effects as well as 102 MIDI riffs covering many musical styles, Strum GS-2 packs everything you need to create guitar parts for your productions.
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.
Have you ever had the chance to create your own guitar? Strum GS-2 allows you to do just that by controlling every aspect in the making of your instrument.
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 instrument’s response and their multiple configurations give tremendous tone flexibility.
The soundboard of a guitar radiates vibrations from the strings. Choose a body size to colour 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 rifs with palm muting, scratches, and hammer-ons.
You’ll love the pure raw sound of Strum GS-2, but the built-in effects will bring it to so many places that you’ll enjoy having them on hand.
And you have a chock-full of them to choose from: compressor, equalizer, delay, distortion, phaser, chorus, flanger, wah wah and notch filters, and reverb.

The community has good things to say about Strum…
AAS Strum GS-2 is the most faithful reproduction of any acoustic guitar you can put on your computer desktop.
Its performance features and the sound quality of its physical modeling far outstrip any sample-based guitar plug-in.
Strum presents itself as an extremely expressive and playable instrument.
Our test revealed very favorably the full sound and dynamic response of Strum.
What's exremely impressive is the multitude of chords the program recognize.
The modelled sound is remarkably realistic, and with care and practice fairly convincing strummed and arpeggiated rhythm parts can be achieved, as well as expressive solo lines.
Strum is entertaining and great fun to use, and a valid alternative to sample-based guitar emulations.
Strum’s models are as good as it gets, and its accurate articulation and sophisticated chord voicing make it an utterly convincing chord-melody instrument, an excellent solo voice, and an agile accompanist. I recommend it highly.
With eight Sound Bank Series titles adding up to more than 700 presets, Strum GS-2 looks forward to spark your imagination—whenever you need it.
Strum GS-2 is compatible with nearly all DAWs.
