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.

Forgot the mention that the Korg technology that does strumming is
Karma, so if your Korg has karma 2, you it may be worth exploring.

I've got a Korg PA50, and I have no idea what Karma is =), is it the
operating system? On their website it says for my keyboard there's OPOS
(Objective Portable Operating System).
