In addition to overhauling the effects section (chorus, delay, flanger, phaser, distortion, notch filter, wah, auto-wah, and reverb), a very effective tone shaping EQ and compressor were added.įor those unfamiliar with the concept of Physical Modeling, it is the process of producing sound entirely through complex mathematics/algorithms based in real world physical observations. A visually simplified user interface and bank/program manager helps get the technical thinking out of the way as soon as possible.

The physical modeling engine has been revised. Strum GS-2 is a significant overhaul of the Strum GS-1 products in every important area of what made the originals so attractive. Strum GS-2 features over 200 different acoustic and electric guitar models, combining what was previously two separate acoustic and electric guitar synths in the Strum GS-1 releases. Strum GS-2 is available as a standalone program, or as a 32bit/64bit VST, AU, RTAS, and AAX Native plugin, for Mac OS X 10.6 or above and Windows XP through 8. No corner of acoustics or physics has been left undiscovered and their latest release, Strum GS-2, acts as the ultimate in plucked string synthesis.

Since then, AAS has developed and released many successful software synthesizers based off of the unique and certainly complex concept of Physical Modeling.

The Montreal, Canada based company was founded in 1998 by Dr. Applied Acoustics Systems – Strum GS 2 – ReviewĪpplied Acoustics Systems, or AAS, have long been popular pioneers in the realm of software synthesis.
