Globals
Set how StepStrum listens and responds overall, including how chords are detected and how patterns restart or latch while you play.
StepStrum Pro
Deeper control for chord tones, dynamics, and live variations.
Like Lite, Pro can combine Up and Down strums with Low, Mid-Low, Mid-High, and High single-note steps. Pro adds MIDI pattern keyswitching plus per-step velocity, gate, and trigger probability lanes.
Pro is a $39 USD one-time purchase. Lite is free and available now.
Pro control walkthrough
A quick tour through the controls in the order they appear in the plugin.
Feel
Shape the overall groove with timing, swing, humanize, gate, velocity behavior, and rhythmic division controls.
Pattern slots
Keep multiple rhythm ideas ready in one place, then switch between variations as the part develops.
Pattern copy and length
Duplicate useful pattern ideas and change the active pattern length without rebuilding the part from scratch.
Lane controls
Choose the control layer you want to edit: rhythm activation, Step Type, velocity, gate, or trigger probability.
Sequencer
Build the pattern step by step: activation buttons decide where notes happen, while Step Types mix full strums with individual chord tones.
What Pro adds
Pro-only controls for live pattern changes and deeper per-step variation.
- MIDI pattern keyswitching. Use MIDI pattern keyswitching to move among the eight pattern slots from a keyboard or controller for rhythm variations, fills, and song sections.
- Per-step velocity lane. Draw dynamics across the pattern one step at a time.
- Per-step gate lane. Set how long each note holds, individually per step.
- Per-step trigger probability lane. Control when each step fires to add natural variation.
- Pro expansion packs. Use additional Pro content when available.
