01Overview

Take 3 is the third sound pack from sound designer Yves Frulla for Strum GS-2, the session guitarist plugin from Applied Acoustics Systems. It covers 12 styles and focuses on grooves in 3/4, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, meters that are less common in guitar libraries. The patterns are playable over your own chord progressions, which makes the bank useful for songs that need a triplet feel or a triple meter rather than a standard straight rhythm.

03In depth

Odd Time Signature Guitar Grooves

Take 3 is built around rhythms that move beyond the usual 4/4 feel. The bank includes strumming patterns in 3/4, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8, and the developer aims them at rock, blues, pop, country and reggae.

The patterns are designed to sit with a range of material, from shuffling blues progressions to reggae offbeats. Because the presets are meant to complement a project rather than define it, they suit producers who want a change of meter in a song section or a different rhythmic texture for a verse or bridge.

Presets and Strumming Patterns in Strum GS-2

The collection contains 73 guitar presets and 84 strumming patterns. Each pattern can be played with your own chord progressions, so the bank works as a rhythm source for your harmony rather than a fixed loop.

The bank loads into Strum GS-2 automatically when the plugin is installed. Without Strum GS-2, you can still play the sounds from the free AAS Player plug-in, which is included with your purchase.
