Hi all, while my Korg keyboard does a pretty good job
of imitating the
sounds of various instruments, I can never seem to get the guitars to
sound like they're being strummed. In my (simplistic) estimation its a
matter of rolling the notes consecutively from low to high (down-stroke)
and then high to low (up-stroke), perhaps needing variable pressure on
different notes?
So my basic question is, how would you produce as realistic a guitar
strum as possible using an electronic keyboard with the requisite sound
banks? Or should I give it up and just record my guitar directly (neck
needs straightening...)?
Which korg do you have? My Oasys does a good job imho, see the demos
on the korg site and youtube for examples. The Oasys uses a linux OS,
so its definitely possible on linux though perhaps there is no open
source implementation yet - not sure. My GenoQs Octopus also claims to
do strumming but I haven't explored that feature yet.
