2020–12–10 ⚓︎ Strum GS-2 sound pack Post Rock released

Resident sound designer Niall McCallum returns with Post Rock. The collected works leave the familiar rock territory to introduce atmospheric and spacious grounds where sparse and icy rhythms, tensed and muted riffs as well as full-throttle distortion freak-outs lie.

Post Rock features 12 styles, 84 presets, and 84 strumming patterns. The collection draws upon a wealth of distinctive alternative rock genres, from the spaced-out hypnotism of the underground post rock scene to the ripped jeans of 90s-era grunge, to the chugging and overdriven riffs of chart-storming British alt-rock bands. Post Rock also adds shades of blistering high-gain drone metal and post hardcore riffs in for good measure.

Join us on a far-ranging voyage through the brilliant colors that make up the alternative movement. Just dim the lights and crank out the gain!

Paying respect to the legends of reggae and dub—from the heavily rhythmic finger-work of Sly & Robbie and Bob Marley & The Wailers to the booming sound system aesthetics of King Tubby and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry—Tropical Jam features 12 styles, 84 guitar presets, and 84 strumming patterns playable with your own chord progressions.
