Because you’re working with MIDI data, programs with chord tracks, like Cubase and Studio One, can take advantage of the structure you create with Strummed Acoustic to build a song further with other instruments. Just like having a solid drum beat from a Kontakt drum instrument can jumpstart your creativity, so can the chord Patterns from Strummed Acoustic.

But for realistic parts as opposed to special effect, I prefer a rapid switching between High and Low modes, preferably with playing the D2 note pickup in the transition between the High and Low modes.īeing able to experiment with chords and Patterns can provide a different perspective, compared to what you tend to play when you pick up a guitar. The mod wheel (MIDI CC#1) can crossfade between the voicings. Higher voicings sound “smaller,” so they’re better-suited to quieter, more reflective sections. Guitarists tend to use lower voicings when they need to drive the song with a bigger sound. But you can also change modes as part of an arrangement. Using high or low voicings with two instances of Strummed Acoustic helps differentiate the guitars more.
