Strumpy (Pro)

A multi-track midi workstation for building midi based compositions on the go!
Originally designed for home recording musicians to create realistic sounding guitar strumming patterns for their music compositions, Strumpy Pro now offers a full midi multi-tracking capability. Combine personalised guitar strumming patterns with other midi instrument tracks (bass, lead a drums) to create rich sounding song compositions. Patterns are constructed using a free-form musical notation in order to accelerate creativity (i.e. no bars, clefs or time signatures).

If you are a keyboard player and can't play guitar you'll know how difficult it is to put down a guitar track with realistic strumming. Strumpy Pro was written just for you!

Use the tool to generate a cool guitar strumming clip and then upload it (in midi form) into your digital audio workstation (DAW) where you can exploit it further. All the complex timings that simulate the plucking of each musical note in a chord being strummed and the hardness of the strummed chord notes have all been worked out and generated by Strumpy Pro in the midi file. Simply assign the loaded track to a suitable sounding guitar patch in your DAW and away you go.

You can also develop other tracks to complement your strumming patterns and ensure they blend well whilst still composing on the go. Load all your tracks into a target DAW from the generated midi file.

Hopefully you'll find this tool a great way to extend your creativity.
