Jazz styles and strumming patterns in Jazz Café

The sound bank includes 12 jazz styles, 84 guitar presets and 84 strumming patterns. Styles range from swinging to straight-groove feels, giving you rhythmic options within the same collection.

Because the strumming patterns are played with your own chords, you can test different feels over a progression you have already written. This makes the bank useful for sketching a jazz arrangement or comparing approaches quickly.

Who the sound bank is for

Jazz Café suits producers and composers working on jazz arrangements who want guitar parts without recording a player. The developer describes the collection as a broad survey of jazz culture rather than a single style.

The bank was created by Thiago Pinheiro, a Brazilian producer and keyboard player whose work spans jazz, blues, house and drum and bass, and who has also written music for film and Hollywood productions. Applied Acoustics Systems presents it as his second Strum sound pack.
