Introduction 1 Introduction Strum Acoustic Session GS-1 is a synthesizer dedicated to the emulation of acoustic guitars. This special edition is a simplified version of Strum Acoustic GS-1. The synthesizer is entirely based on the A|A|S physical modeling technology and uses no sampling nor wave tables. Instead it produces sound by solving, on the fly, mathematical equations modeling the different components of a guitar and how they interact.
1.2 Installation Keep in mind that the computational power required by Strum Acoustic Session depends on the number of voices of polyphony and the sampling rate used. These computer configurations will enable you to play the factory presets with a reasonable number of voices. 1.2 Installation Mac OS Insert the Strum Acoustic Session program disc into your CD-ROM drive.

2 An Overview of Strum Acoustic Session An Overview of Strum Acoustic Session Strum Acoustic Session is a synthesizer which was designed with the goal of enabling keyboard players to easily create realistic guitar tracks. This is a task which is usually difficult to achieve due to the very different nature of these two types of instruments.
2.2 Strumming 2.2 Strumming 19 On a guitar, notes and chords are triggered by the action of the picking hand (usually right hand). The resulting sound is very typical of a guitar as the guitarist triggers the strings sequentially, more or less rapidly, with an up and down motion of the hand. Strings can also be played individually, in different order, to create arpeggio patterns.
An Overview of Strum Acoustic Session Figure 8: Graphical user interface of Strum Acoustic Session. air cavity of the body. Finally, in addition to the modules reproducing the guitar itself, an output stage has been included to allow further processing of the sound radiated by the instrument. Figure 9: General architecture of Strum Session.
2.4 Signal Flow 21 It is important to note how the MIDI signal received by the synthesizer is parsed. Signal received from the MIDI input or MIDI player module, is interpreted in terms of the fretting hand (usually left hand) and picking hand (usually right hand) of a guitar player. MIDI notes with number ranging between 40 (E1) and 70 (B[4) are associated with the fretting hand and their corresponding signal is sent to the chord detector.
3 Keyboard Layout Keyboard Layout Strum Acoustic Session reacts to MIDI signal differently than a traditional synthesizer. It uses a special keyboard layout and associates signals from standard MIDI controllers with specific effects or techniques on the guitar. In this chapter, we will describe how the keyboard is used to play Strum Session.
3.2 Strumming Keys 3.2.2 23 Palm Muted Downstroke and Upstroke Palm muting is a technique which consists in partially muting the strings with the help of the picking hand by letting it lightly touch the strings near the bridge. The pick (or fingers) is then dragged across the strings in a downward or upward motion. In Strum Session, the palm muted downstroke and upstroke are obtained by depressing MIDI note number 73 (C#5) and 75 (D#5) respectively. 3.2.
Keyboard Layout the remaining arp keys. Finally, if the alternate bass is the fifth and if it can only played on the string on which it is played in the chord, it is triggered by the alternate bass arp key and it is not repeated on another arp key. These rules imply that the arp keys 6 to 1 do not necessarily correspond to string 6 to 1 (lowest to highest). In fact they only do when the six strings are used in a chord and when the bass is played on string 6.
3.6 Hold Pedal 3.6 Hold Pedal 25 The hold pedal (MIDI CC 64) can be used either as a hold pedal or to activate alternate strumming depending on the settings of the Hold Pedal section of the interface. In Hold Chord mode, the pedal will hold the chord played by Strum Session as long as the pedal is not released. If a new chord is detected while the pedal is still depressed, the new chord will be played. The pedal therefore enables one to do instantaneous chord changes. In Alt.

Playing Strum Session 4 27 Playing Strum Session Strum Acoustic Session 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 Session. 4.
4.2.2 Playing Strum Session Chord Change Figure 12: Re-triggering a downstroke. Once a chord has been played, the chord detection, voicing and strumming modules are only triggered when a new note is played; releasing notes from a chord has no effect. Consequently, Strum Session holds the current chord as long as all its notes are not released. This can be used to make rapid chord changes.
4.3 4.2.4 Using the Strumming Keys 29 Hammer-On and Pull-Off Hammer-on and pull-off are playing techniques used by guitar players to play legato or grace notes. The hammer-on effect is obtained by first picking a note and then hammering down another finger onto the same string at a higher fret. The pull-off effect is almost the opposite of the hammer on.
Playing Strum Session In the case where only one or two notes are played on the keyboard, the notes can be triggered from both the downstroke or upstroke strumming key and the Range parameter is ignored. If no note is played on the keyboard, the downstroke and upstroke keys trigger a strum over the range defined by the Range parameter but the strings are muted. The effect is the same as using the muffled down- and upstroke keys which are described below. 4.3.
4.3 Using the Strumming Keys 31 Figure 16: Scratching with the arp keys. higher or the same note as the bass key (arp 6 key). The most useful arp keys are therefore usually the bass, arp 4, arp 3 and arp 2 keys (E5, G5, A5 and B5). A good position to play arpeggios is to use the thumb to play the bass, the index to play the arp 4 key, the middle finger for the arp 3 key, the ring finger for the arp 2 key and finally the little finger for the arp 1 key.
4.4 4.4.1 Playing Strum Session Specific Techniques Trills This technique consists in switching rapidly between two notes by using hammer-ons and pulloffs. With Strum Session, a trill is played by holding the first note and depressing and releasing the second note. The interval between the notes must be one or two semi-tones. 4.4.2 Tremolo Picking This technique consists in repeating the same note very rapidly.
4.4 4.4.5 Specific Techniques 33 Bass & Chords In certain musical styles, such as country and bluegrass music, one often finds rhythm-guitar patterns obtained by switching between the root or fifth played on the bass string and a strum on the remaining strings. To obtain this effect, it is therefore important that the lowest string is note included in the stroked part of the pattern.
Playing Strum Session strings. It is not always possible to play notes simultaneously when playing live and it is therefore recommended to play the highest note of the interval slightly before the lowest. Otherwise, Strum Session may decide to play the highest note on the lowest string and then will also need to voice the lowest note on the lowest string which will result in both notes being played one after the other.
4.6 Chord Voicing 35 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.
5 Presets and MIDI maps Presets and MIDI maps Strum Acoustic Session comes with several factory presets covering a wide range of sounds. This collection of presets lets you play and familiarize yourself with this synthesizer without having to tweak a single knob. Soon, however, you will be experimenting and creating your own sounds and projects that you will need to archive or exchange with other users. You may also want to control the parameters of Strum Session with a specific MIDI controller.
5.2 Playing and Changing Presets 37 When you start the application for the first time, the program list contains a selection of presets from the factory preset library. At that point, the presets in the program list are identical to their version in the library. 5.2 Playing and Changing Presets Presets are always played from the program list.
5.3 Presets and MIDI maps Editing and Saving Presets Moving the different controls on the Strum Session interface modifies the preset loaded in the current program. As soon as the current program is modified, the preset icon located on the left of the program name in the toolbar changes color and a ‘*” sign is appended to its name in the program list.
5.4 Saving the Program List 39 This behavior might not always be convenient and it is possible to deactivate it by deselecting the Ask to save preset before opening another option in the Preferences command from the Edit menu. 5.4 Saving the Program List When you open Strum Session, the applications always loads the same program list.
5.5.3 Presets and MIDI maps Renaming Presets and folders On Windows systems, to rename a preset or folder, click a first time on the corresponding icon in the browser in order to select it. Then click a second time to enter in name edition mode. Note that this sequence of operation is different from double-clicking on the icon which loads the preset in the case of a preset icon or opens a folder in the case of a folder icon. In other words, there must be a pause between the two clicks.
5.6 MIDI Maps 41 desired. In order to hide the browser completely, move the double-headed arrow cursor fully to the left. Note that when Strum Session is used as a plug-in, the browser size is fixed and can not be modified. 5.6 MIDI Maps MIDI maps containing information about MIDI links between the MIDI controllers and the Strum Session interface can easily be created as will be explained in Section 8.2. MIDI maps are represented in the browser with a MIDI connector icon.
Presets and MIDI maps • On Windows systems: C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Applied Acoustics Systems\Strum Acoustic 1.0. • On Mac OS systems: [System Drive]:Users:[User]:Library:Application Support:Applied Acoustics Systems:Strum Acoustic 1.0. The name of the database file is StrumAcoustic.tdb. In order to archive your database, just copy this file to your usual backup location or medium. In order to restore a database, replace the version of the StrumAcoustic.
Parameters 6 43 Parameters This section can be used as a reference on the different controls appearing on Strum Acoustic Session’s graphical interface. We begin by describing the behavior of the different types of controls appearing on the interface 6.1 General Functioning of the Interface 6.1.1 Tweaking Knobs All the knobs on the interface are selected by clicking on them. Once selected, they can be controlled in different ways depending on the effect you want to achieve.
6.1.3 Parameters Drop-down Menus and Displays Clicking on a display with a small down-pointing triangle on its right, such as the Type control of the Multi-Effect module, reveals a drop-down menu with a set of possible settings for the control. Adjustment of the control is obtained by clicking on a selection or using the up and down arrows and the Enter key of the computer keyboard. 6.1.
6.2 6.2.1 The Instrument Modules 45 The Guitar Module This is where the type of guitar is selected. The Type selector allows one to choose between steel or nylon strings and to determine if the instrument is played using a pick or fingers. This control is therefore used to determine both the material of the strings of the instrument and the properties of the object used to play them. 6.2.
6.3 Parameters The Equalizer Module The EQ module provides equalization over the low, mid, and high frequency bands and is switched on or off using the On button. It is composed of a low-cut filter, a low shelf filter, a peak filter, and a high shelf filter in series. The low-cut (or high-pass) filter is used to remove from the output sound of the instrument frequency components below the cut-off frequency. The cut-off frequency of the filter is increased by turning the knob clockwise.
6.4 Reverb 47 Gain = 30 dB, Q = 20 Amplitude (dB) Gain = 30 dB, Q = 50 Gain = 20 dB Gain = 10 dB 0dB Gain = 30 dB, Q = 20 Freq Frequency (Hz) Figure 22: Peak filter. 6.4 Reverb The Reverb module is used to recreate the effect of reflections of sound on the walls of a room or hall. These reflections add space to the sound and make it warmer, deeper, as well as more realistic since we always listen to instruments in a room and thus with a room effect.
Parameters 6.5 Performance Parameters 6.5.1 Chord Display The Chord Display is where Strum Session displays the name of the detected chord or note and the corresponding voicing selected.
6.5 6.5.2 Performance Parameters 49 Chord On the guitar, chords can be voiced in many different ways. Strum Session uses movable chords as described in section 4.6. The voicing can also be made more precise by specifying what should be the lowest note of the chord played by Strum Session. In root position, the lowest note of the guitar voicing is always the root of the chord played on the keyboard and detected by Strum Session.
Parameters the current bar number and current beat within this bar. When a loop is loaded in the player, it is possible to scan the loops in the same folder using the skip forward and skip backward buttons. The loops are scanned in alphabetical order starting from the currently loaded loop. Once a loop has been selected, it might be necessary to modify it. A loop can rapidly be exported to the MIDI track of a sequencer by using the Drag MIDI button.
6.5 6.5.5 Performance Parameters 51 Tuning The Tuning module is used to transpose the output pitch of Strum Session. The output pitch can be increased or decreased by one semi-tone by moving the tuning knob clockwise or anti-clockwise respectively. When in its center position, Strum Session uses standard tuning (A4 - 440 Hz). The output can also be transposed by one octave by switching on the Octave button.
Toolbar 7 Toolbar The toolbar at the top of the Strum Acoustic Session interface allows you to monitor important information related to your current set-up. 7.1 Program Display Located on the left of the toolbar, displays the number and name of the program currently loaded in the synthesis engine. The + and − buttons on the left of the program number, or alternatively the + and − keys on the computer keyboard, are used to navigate upwards and downwards in the program list.
Audio and MIDI Settings 8 53 Audio and MIDI Settings This chapter explains how to select the audio and MIDI devices used by Strum Acoustic Session as well as how to create and edit MIDI links and MIDI maps. When referring to commands that are different on Windows and Mac OS systems, the commands are listed in the following order: Windows command/Mac OS command. 8.1 Audio Settings 8.1.
Audio and MIDI Settings 8.2.2 Creating MIDI Links Every control on the Strum Session interface can be manipulated by an external MIDI controller. In most cases this is much more convenient than using the mouse, especially if you want to move many controllers at once. For example, you can map the motion of a knob on the interface to a real knob on a knob box or to the modulation wheel from your keyboard.
8.2 MIDI Settings 55 • Note that the range of a knob can be inverted by setting the value of Maximum Value to a smaller value than that of Minimum Value. • Click on the OK button and the link appears in the list of controllers linked to the control. • Click on the OK button again to confirm the change and to leave the MIDI Links window.
Audio and MIDI Settings 8.2.7 Defining a Default MIDI Map It is possible to define a default MIDI map that will be loaded automatically when Strum Session is launched. • First select a MIDI map by clicking on its icon in the browser and choose the MIDI Link Info command from the Edit or the Ctrl-I/Apple-I keyboard shortcut. One can also rightclick/control-click on the MIDI map icon and choose the MIDI Link Info command. • To change the default MIDI map select the Mark As Default option. 8.2.
Using Strum Session as a Plug-In 9 57 Using Strum Session as a Plug-In Strum Acoustic Session is available in VST, AudioUnit and RTAS formats and integrates seamlessly into the industry most popular multi-track recording and sequencing environments as a virtual instrument plug-in. The plug-in versions will work exactly the same way as the standalone version, except for the audio, MIDI, and latency configurations that will be taken care of by the host sequencer.
9.6 Using Strum Session as a Plug-In MIDI Channel Make sure that the MIDI controller, sequencer and Strum Session all use the same MIDI channel. If you are not certain of the channel used by your controller or sequencer, set the MIDI channel of Strum Session to Omni. 9.7 MIDI program change MIDI program changes are supported in the plug-in versions of Strum Session.
