I can’t recommend this upgrade enough! It sounds wonderful, and it’s really fun to play with. The upgrade was only $30 or so, since I’m already a registered used of Strum GS-1. You can choose a bunch of different patterns, so that makes it fun to play with. To change patterns, select a different key on the upper octave. Hit a key, and the program will auto-strum it for you. The last mode is the loop mode, and that’s the most fun to mess with in a mindless kind of way. The major/minor/7th chords are easy to find, though, and that should make simpler stuff easy to knock out. There are a lot of chords lurking in there, you just have to bang around a bit. To get chords like a sus2 or sus4, you have to chord it out like a regular chord on the keyboard, and experiment! Hitting C-F-G will give me a Csus4, C-D-G a Csus2, and C-F-B a C7sus4. There are also six different chord types, with different root positions and fingerings, so if you want open chords, you can choose those, or if you want power chords, you can choose those. I really like the rhythm mode (called Guitar in the program), especially the variety of strums. Don’t think in terms of half/whole steps. And since F and E are right next to each other, they keys still operate the same, so it’s a little weird. If you want Cm, play the first black key below it. But if you want a C7, what do you do? You play C and then play the first white key below it. Just banging out major chords is relatively simple: if you want a C, play a C. This mode is slightly tricky to figure out. Press a key on the lower half to select the chord, then press a key or combination on the upper octave to strum it. In the second mode, it plays like a rhythm guitar. In the first mode, it plays like a keyboard instrument.
The playing interface is also updated, with three new modes. (And in the end, it’s all about the sound, isn’t it?) There are plenty of patches to play around with to get a good variety of sound colors, and since it’s not much of a memory or CPU hog, it’s pretty easy to run them through whatever VST FX you want to to dirty them up. Their Strum GS-1 guitar modeler has been around for a while, and while it’s serviceable as a guitar sound, they just came out with a new version, GS-2, which for now only does acoustic guitar sounds.įor starters, the sound is incredible for a modeler.

I’ve always been a fan of Applied Acoustic Systems’ software, mainly because I love how how it sounds, but also because I love the idea of using software to model instruments instead of relying on gigabytes of samples to create the same sounds.
