Oberheim Strummer

via this auction
"'The "Strummer' listens to chords played on your MIDI keyboard and plays them back to your MIDI sound source (Synthesizer or Sampler) just as they would be played from a guitar. Not only will the chord voicings be correct, but the chords can actually be 'Strummed!' With the 'Strummer,' you can even change the speed and direction of your "Strums" just by changing the way you play your MIDI keyboard. Also, 'Strummer' has the ability to distinguish the difference between chords and single notes, allowing you to send chords out on one MIDI channel (Distorted Guitar Sound for example) while your single notes are sent out on a different channel (i.e. Solo Sound). Your keyboard may have a great guitar sound, but can you play a great guitar part? Yes. The Oberheim Strummer will transform your keyboard playing into a stunning and convincing performance featuring realistic guitar articulation.

By looking at such factors as the range of the guitar, the number of notes being played, chord position, and the velocity of the performance, Strummer can transform the incoming MIDI data out into performance data emulating that of a real guitarist. Performance data may be delayed, echoed, harmonized, transposed and sent back out on multiple MIDI channels. In addition to control over strum direction and speed, the Strummer also features Chord Capture for real time single finger chords. Individual picking patterns and riffs may be assigned to a single key, for real time performance playback. You can even control the number of "strings" being strummed via keyboard velocity.

The "Strummer" includes features such as:
MIDI Delay (Echo).
Adjustable Delay and Decay Rates.
Multiple MIDI Channel Output.
Velocity Switching.
Keyboard Splitting.
Chord Voicing Variations.
Arpeggiation.
Chord Capture (Adjustable Single Finger Chords).
Transposition of MIDI Delays (Great for MIDI Harmonizing).
Ability to synchronize to MIDI Timing Clocks (External Sync).
MIDI Program Change.
Supports MIDI Sysex for storage of user defined patches."

Oberheim Strummer demo


YouTube Uploaded by canmarcvancouver on Dec 3, 2010

"Here is an idea of what the classic Oberheim Strummer from 1991 can do to single notes playing a metal drum sound on a TX7.

The strummer is was designed to sit in between a midi keyboard controller and the desired midi sound device. In this case a dx7 and a tx7.

The Strummer's midi input "listens" to what a keyboardist plays and the midi output plays it back out modified to sound like a guitarist had strummed it instead. From a 3 note chord it can makes a 6 string riff. You can edit to make all sort of riff strokes.

Obviously nothing can sound as authentic as a real guitarist & the Strummer is no exeption.

However, The magic happens when it is used to trigger sounds it was not designed for, such as the metal drum sound here."

OBERHEIM STRUMMER

via this auction
"THE FOLLOWING IS QUOTED DIRECTLY FROM PAGE 2 OF THE OWNERS MANUAL

The Strummer by Oberheim was the first of the new generation of the Oberheim Perf/X, “Performance Expansion” MIDI modules.

The Strummer takes MIDI notes and chords that are played on a keyboard and changes them into the way they would be played on a guitar. You have control over all settings. You set strum rate and direction, lead enhancement, chord voicing, and arpeggiation patterns and 28 other parameters.

The Strummer has 96 presets including 64 permanently in ROM from the factory and 32 user presets in RAM for your custom programs.

The Strummer can record short phrases of “riffs” and play them back when triggered from the keyboard. You select a “trigger key”, play the riff and then press stop. If you press the “trigger key” again at the end, the riff is looped and starts vamping (repeating) until stop is pressed. These “riffs” are stored globally and can be used at any time from any preset!

The Strummer has dynamic MID control over a number of its parameters. Strum speed can be varied by velocity as can the number of notes used in a chord. You can even program chords “on the fly” using “Chord Capture”. Once a chord is ‘captured’ it is held globally until a new one is captured.

The Strummer fully supports System Exclusive allowing external storage and remote editing of Strummer programs."

OBERHEIM STRUMMER

"Keyboard to guitar chord converter."

Plug your controller of choice in the MIDI in and plug the MIDI out into the MIDI in of your synth. The Stummer has a number of guitar-like playing styles that will take whatever you play in and play that out it's MIDI out jack. There are classic guitar strums and some other techniques as well. It's an interesting utility module from the Oberheim Perf series.
