Strum GS-2 - Take 3
The deal
$9 at KVR Marketplace (down from $39) - a 76% discount. Sale runs through August 5, 2026.
What it is
Take 3 is a sound pack for Applied Acoustics Systems' Strum GS-2, a physically-modeled guitar plugin that simulates acoustic and electric guitar playing rather than relying on samples. This pack adds 73 presets across 12 styles and 84 strumming patterns, all built around triplet-feel grooves in time signatures you don't hear much in preset libraries - 3/4, 6/8, 9/8, and 12/8. It's the third Strum GS pack from Canadian session guitarist and keyboardist Yves Frulla, and it works in Strum GS-2 or the free AAS Player plugin.
Who it's for
Producers and songwriters who want to move past straight 4/4 strumming - anyone writing rock, blues, pop, country, or reggae tracks that calls for a triple-meter or waltz-adjacent feel, without programming strum patterns note-by-note.
Key features
- 73 guitar presets spanning 12 named styles, including Lone Star, Avrilson, Becky, and Hammerhead
- 84 strumming patterns purpose-built for triplet-feel and triple-meter grooves
- Covers both acoustic and electric guitar tones from AAS's physical modeling engine
- Drops onto any custom chord progression and runs in Strum GS-2 or the free AAS Player plugin, so you don't need to own the full instrument to use it
