Applied Acoustics Systems Strum GS-2 2.4.6 for Mac
Mac AudioStrum GS-2, from Applied Acoustics Systems, is a guitar instrument plug-in for Mac designed for keyboard players who need believable guitar parts. It combines a large library of modelled acoustic and electric guitars with automatic chord recognition, a strumming and picking engine, and a MIDI riff library, so a chord played on a keyboard comes out sounding like a guitarist playing it — with slides, palm muting, bends and realistic voicings handled by the instrument.
