Strum Session 2 is a software guitar and bass synthesizer from Applied Acoustics Systems, designed to emulate the sound and playability of real stringed instruments. It includes physical modeling of dozens of guitar and bass configurations (acoustic, electric, nylon-string and more), with realistic body resonance, string vibration, and fretboard physics. Musicians use it as a virtual instrument in their DAW for composing, recording, and live performance, and it integrates as an AU, VST, or AAX plugin. It also runs as a standalone application, and appeals to songwriters, producers, and music creators who want expressive string instrument sounds without the complexity of sampling-based instruments.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal) build of Strum Session 2 has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. If you are still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta, update to the latest version directly from Applied Acoustics Systems. The native build will deliver noticeably faster load times and lower CPU usage when playing or recording within your DAW. You can update through the Applied Acoustics Systems website or check for updates within the application itself.
