MIDI Strummer AUv3 Plugin is a powerful tool designed for musicians and producers who wish to simulate guitar strumming and picking techniques in their music productions. This AUv3 plugin allows you to generate MIDI note data that can be sent either to an external synth of your choice or to the plugin's built-in soundfont engine. With this functionality, MIDI Strummer helps recreate the realism of guitar playing, making it a must-have for anyone looking to add authentic guitar parts to their tracks. The soundfont player enables you to import your favorite .SF2 and .DLS soundfonts, offering vast flexibility in sound design by allowing you to use different guitar tones and effects.

The app's pattern editor is at the heart of its workflow, enabling you to create complex strumming patterns and picking sequences that can be easily mapped to chord pads. These chord pads hold a series of chords that can be triggered via MIDI messages or by tapping the pads, providing you with hands-on control over the playing style. This function makes it easy for users to compose and customize their guitar parts, even without access to a physical guitar. The app offers a versatile selection of 6 and 12 string emulations, which can be easily toggled to suit your song’s style, giving you further control over the tone and feel of each section of your track.

Song mode is another powerful feature of MIDI Strummer, allowing you to chain together different chord patterns to form complete songs that combine both strumming and picking patterns. The song mode allows you to create patterns up to 64 steps in length, with the ability to load up to six different pattern variations, which helps prevent repetition and keeps your guitar parts fresh. By enabling the 6/12 string option on specific parts of the track, you can emphasize certain sections of your song for a more dynamic and layered sound.

MIDI Strummer also offers a variety of audio effects to enhance the overall sound of your guitar parts. These include overdrive, distortion, tremolo, chorus, phaser, graphic EQ, digital delay, and reverb, which can all be applied to the soundfont player. These effects enable you to tailor the sound to match your song's vibe, whether you're going for a clean and crisp tone or a gritty, distorted sound. The parameter automation feature, using MIDI from your DAW, allows you to automate these effects in your project, making the plugin an integral part of your broader production workflow.

One of the standout features of MIDI Strummer is its randomize and rotate capabilities, which let you introduce variations in your chord patterns and strumming sequences. This feature mimics the natural slight changes that occur in real guitar playing, ensuring your tracks sound dynamic and authentic. The app's ability to create songs up to 255 steps in length gives you ample room to build full musical compositions, with room for extended chord progressions, solos, and much more.

MIDI Strummer also integrates seamlessly with GarageBand on iOS14, making it a perfect tool for music production on iPhone or iPad. Whether you're composing on a mobile device or working in a more traditional studio setting, this plugin gives you all the tools needed to create high-quality guitar simulations. The plugin's intuitive interface and comprehensive help pages ensure that even those new to music production can easily navigate the app. MIDI Strummer is not just for guitarists but also for anyone looking to add rich, complex guitar parts to their compositions, making it an essential tool for modern music production.
