Clean Guitar
The same chord progression played as simple keyboard chords, then performed through StepStrum.
StepStrum
StepStrum is a MIDI strumming plugin that turns held chords into realistic, tempo-synced strummed performances for guitar libraries, synths, pianos, pads, and more.
Lite is free. Pro adds per-step dynamics as a paid upgrade.
From held chords to finished rhythm parts
Rhythmic sequencing
A 16-step grid shows each strum in the pattern. Activate steps, set direction, and hear the result immediately.
Performance response
Hold any chord voicing and StepStrum reads the notes in real time. Timing, swing, and humanize controls stay on the surface.
Session speed
Eight performance slots let you switch patterns mid-song. Build convincing rhythm parts without hand-drawing dense MIDI.
Hear the Difference
Hear the same groove with and without StepStrum. The drums and bass stay the same — only the chord performance changes.
Baritone Guitar
StepStrum adds timing, motion, and feel to a baritone guitar texture.
Hybrid Strummed Texture
A soft hybrid chord layer becomes a moving, strummed texture while the groove underneath stays the same.
See the interface
Lite and Pro share the same 16-step sequencer layout. Pro adds per-step velocity, gate, and probability lanes below the pattern.
