Midi Strummer (4Pockets) - detailed walkthrough video. 3 copies to give away!
Midi Strummer from 4 Pockets allows you to generate guitar strumming and picking patterns, which can be played using the internal soundfonts, using your own imported soundfonts, or by sending the midi it generates to other apps. It has an arpeggiator with some cool randomization functions, which you can then tweak, or you can make your own patterns from scratch with a choice of pluck, downward strum or upward strum for each note. It can be played live via its internal chord pad section, which gives a choice of 16 chords at any one time (which you can customize using extensions and inversions, replace with other chords etc etc), or you can use its internal chord sequencer to build song patterns. It also has an FX section with chorus, distortion, phaser and other effects. You can send note and cc messages from external virtual keyboards/controllers to trigger various changes. Please note that, at present, it does not seem to allow you to arpeggiate incoming midi notes, it seems there was some misunderstanding about that in early user reports.
Details of how to win one of three free copies of the app are in the pinned comment at the top of youtube.

Nice one @Gavinski i was looking for an excuse not to start work right away
Talked to Paul from 4Pockets about adding the ability to process externally-generated chords and it is something he’s going to consider for a future update.
Interesting, I wonder how he’ll determine which note goes to which string, there’s probably a logic to it that is beyond my addled mind
He’s just considering it! Maybe he hasn’t thought it through properly yet either, cos I think you’re right that it might be tricky since this is a string-based arp rather than note-based. By the way, you were asking about hammer-on etc. Yes, that is something I also use a lot when I play guitar. It’s not exactly possible here, but kind of. It would depend how you set up the arp, but you could do short transitions between main chords using shorter chords that were synced to parts where the arp made these kind of single note changes. Would be quite a hassle to try to program in though, and would still not be quite what you’re looking for.
Yeah that’s how I thought you could do it, but you’d quickly run out of chord pads I guess...
I’m using Strummer to drive my presets in BLEASS Alpha which also use the built in arp and motion sequencer. Put through some Statosphere Reverb. The results are spectacular! Strummer makes it really easy to produce more complex, dynamic and expressive arps for synths. Loving it!
Sounds great Spider. I have only scratched the surface of what this can do, definitely want to see what it does to more experimental sounds, arped patches etc, like you say.
Little tip by the way. Someone just mentioned in the comments that they preferred the finger picking sounds to the strum sounds. I'm not by my device now, but I suspect the key with at least some of the strummed sounds is to use the eq to reduce the mids relative to the highs and lows, just as you would do with a real amped acoustic.

Thank you very muchly! 🙏
Wonderful
congrats @gusgranite i just bought it and after 2 hours of jamming it’s pretty great. I’m really excited about the possibilities.
Per Paul the developer, a big update with lots of new additions should be released this weekend.
Yup, I've been in touch with Paul a lot these past few days, and no small number of these new additions were my suggestions. Paul has been really open and responsive, it's great. @Musicfan
I think this may be his greatest creation of all. Amazingly good!
Anticipating more updates this weekend, amazing app. Paul really be holdin it down!
Really loving it too!
Now barely usable for me as guest in NanoStudio2 (and possibly other hosts?) on iOS 14.2. Plugin crashes super often on use.
Huh, did u tell Paul?
I have not. I want to see if anyone else is experiencing this. One way to make it happen quickly for me is selecting Strummer as guest instrument (not FX) in NS2, loading up the Jazz Accompaniment factory preset then starting just to play with the arps and changing to different chords etc .. and then the plugin would always crash after a few changes and passes.
