VST/app that provides a strumming engine for 3rd party guitar sounds?
Does anyone know of such a thing? Sorta like Strum GS2 but without the guitar sounds...if that makes sense.
Thanks

There are a couple of CAL scripts STRUM-IT and STRUMKEY. I do not recall ever using them. They both have comments at the top which describe their use. The only other solution I have for strumming is a real guitar and the JamOrigins MIDI Guitar plug-in.

Another thing to try, if you have Melodyne Editor, record a clean guitar strum using GS2 and convert it to MIDI.

RealGuitar strums. Its default mode is to play its own samples, but this can be disabled so that the output is changed to midi (rather than audio) which can then drive other VSTis.

Also, if you have Kontakt, you can use Kontakt guitar libraries like the ones made by Orange Tree Samples (best in class IMHO), Indiginus (also superb, but less expensive) or I'd imagine even the bundled Kontakt Akkord guitar, all of which have strumming engines/ patterns, to -- like the RealGuitar technique I've mentioned -- send their output as midi which can drive other VSTis.

Let us know if these or these solutions work for you. I do know from experience that realistic strumming via midi can be really tough to do, but that all of the instruments I mentioned do an impressive job. There is a demo of RealGuitar you can try.

Thanks. I do have a licence for Real Guitar and Real Strat, but then I started getting into Strum Acoustic and Electric and then GS2, but I find the midi loops totally uninspiring, although some of the Electric guitar sounds are pretty cool.
I actually want to use the strumming engine to drive the guitars in Sampletank 3. They are quite good imo and are similar to the Yamaha Motif series guitars, which imo are the best "bread and butter" ones on any synth!

Ifyou have Kontakt, check out the vids etc for this http://www.indiginus.com/torch.html $50, really good strum engine. Very nice samples too, even if you're already set for those.

nah, no kontakt...way too exxy for me...and the "player" version always showed up in demo mode for instruments loaded. Which is why I went for sampletank :) much cheaper, sounds (factory) are about the same, and far less hoops to jump through. Albeit there is no where near the amount of 3rd party data though :(

Torch is quite lovely, lingyai... got it years ago... best $50, along with some of Pettinghouse's offerings when they're on sale... Joden... what "strumming engine" does sampletank have???

All fair points, joden. In which case, try the RealGuitar approach, since you already own it. vastman, I think he knows ST doesn't have one (afaik), which is why he's looking for something to play ST samples. (Off topic, but Indiginus has come out with some other goodies since Torch which might be worth checking out. And Orange Tree's new-ish strat is just unreal)

We can give a try for Soundtrek Jammer 6. I have downloaded the trial, will test this weekend.

Yes I will be :) and yes I do know ST does not have a strumming engine

I cannot live without RealGuitar (acoustic) and its electric companions RealStrat and Real LPC.
Once you know how to use them, the strumming is perfectly realistic. (Trick: You should turn Pattern Playing Mode to ON for strumming. That is not clear in the manual.)
If you buy one, I will send you a Sonar starter file that shows how to set things up for strumming. Why? Because I am awesome.
Seriously, I drive everything with acoustic guitars and rely heavily on RealGuitar, although the strumming techniques work for all three products.
