36 Playing Strum
through the MIDI loop player. Note that loops are note limited to strumming keys and can also
include melodies and chords.
4.5.1 Creating MIDI Loops
Loops for Strum are easily created in your favorite sequencer by respecting the following rules:
• All the events must be on MIDI channel 1.
• The loop must begin at the start of the file and finish at the end of the track. In other words,
if the track lasts for four bars but there are notes only in the first bar, Strum will still loop
over the four bars.
• The tempo and the time signature must be defined at the beginning of the loop and must not
change during the rest of the loop. Strum indeed ignores tempo changes occurring in the
middle of a loop.
• The loop must be recorded on disk on a file using MIDI format 0 or 1 and having a .mid
extension.
Here are other advices which help to create more realistic loops:
• Always slightly vary the velocity of strumming keys in order to get a more lively result.
• If the loop is short, it may be preferable to repeat the same patterns many time with different
velocities for each repetition.
• If the loop includes chords, always make sure that they are well quantized and that there is
always a strumming key played at the same time. This will avoid unwanted strokes when the
loop is played while the Auto-Strum mode is switched on.
• Avoid using MIDI controllers whose effect can be changed by the user. For example, the
pitch wheel can either be used to create a bend or a slide; the hold pedal can either hold the
current chord or be used to trigger an alternate strum.
4.6 Chord Voicing
On the guitar, there are usually many different ways to play the same chord. Each of these positions
or voicing sounds differently and suits different musical styles. The specific voicing chosen by
Strum for a chord depends on the Type parameter from the Chord section of the interface. One can
choose between three types of chords:
• Open Chords. These are chords played with a combination of fretted notes and open strings.
These chords are usually played only within the first three frets of the fretboard. Open chords
are easy to play and extensively used when playing folk music. Note that all chords do not
necessarily have an open position on the guitar.
