28 Playing Strum
4 Playing Strum
Strum can be played in different ways, directly from a MIDI keyboard or using MIDI loops. In this
section we describe these different approaches an how to reproduce specific techniques used by
guitar players. We conclude this section by describing the different voicing options used by Strum.
4.1 Auto-Strum Mode and Strumming Keys
Notes and chords are triggered as they are played on the keyboard when the Auto-Strum mode is
selected. This mode is switched on or off by clicking on the Auto button in the Strumming section
of the interface. In Auto-Strum mode, the notes forming the chord are played using a downstroke
or in other words, notes are played from lowest to highest.
When the Auto-Strum mode is switched off, notes and chords are processed by the chord detec-
tion and voicing modules but the strings are not triggered. In order to play them, one must use the
different strumming keys as described in section 3.2. As soon as a strumming key is depressed, the
strings are triggered. Using strumming keys involves thinking like a guitarist and use the left hand
to play chords or melodies while using the right hand to control the triggering of strings. Note that
strumming keys are always active whether the Auto-Stum mode is switched on or off. In the case
where the Auto-Strum mode is switched on and chords are played simultaneously with strumming
keys, the strumming keys override the normal behavior of the Auto-Strum mode.
4.2 Playing with Auto-Strum
For the first examples, it is necessary to put Strum in Auto-Strum mode by clicking on the Auto
button located in the Strumming section of the the lower part of the interface.
4.2.1 Strum Down
Play a chord in the chord & lead section of the keyboard as shown in Figure 11. The chord
is detected by Strum and voiced on the guitar fretboard. This triggers a downstroke from the
strumming module and consequently the strings are played from the lowest to the highest. In order
to trigger a new downstroke without muting the strings, just release one note from the chord and
play it again as shown in Figure 12.
