Hi,

I'm building a virtual harp. Therefore I tested several strumming VSTs.

The VST has to have midi out, since I use my own modeled sounds.

After testing...

- Real Guitar
- Sugar Bytes Guitariist
- several others

I ended up with PizMidi MidiStrum ( http://thepiz.org/plugins/?p=pizmidi ).

Why?

1. It adds a smooth velocity curve to a strum automatically.
2. It has a nice spreading/strum speed.
3. With Plogue Bidule i can automate midiStrum in a midi clip to model 'articulations', strum speed etc..
4. It's not limited to 6 guitar strings.

Now the question:

midiStrum seems to have a bug. It only allows down strumming in the so called 'simple mode'.
Complex mode, with strumming up and down seems not to work.

Does anybody has a hint for this? Or an alternative VST module successfully tested (with midi out)?

Please help.

Why you people don't strum virtually? It's better for the wrist!

 

some type of fluid pitch control and automatic stringing in variations set by lfos would be interesting

 

What do you mean with 'fluid pitch control'?
