A unique control surface that functions like a Stylophone mixed with an Omnichord. Comes fully constructed!

Strum your MIDI gear with the LE STRUM - a unique and expressive MIDI controller! Connect it to your MIDI instrument or computer, hold down a chord, then use the stylus to play MIDI notes by touching the contact pads on the board! .

LE STRUM's 36 chord buttons give you immediate access to 84 different chords (maj, min, dom7, maj7, min7, aug, dim for 12 root notes). You can also play sus4, add6 and add9 chord variations. It's great for learning about chord progressions and finding chords to match your track!

LE STRUM has several performance modes which are accessed by holding the MODE button while pressing one of the top row of chord buttons.

User patches combine settings for: play on make/break, damp on make/break, guitar voicing /stacked triads, additional guitar octave, enable added 4/6/9 notes, enable guitar chord bass notes, keep chord selection after chord button release, common note sustain on chord change, map chromatic/diatonic/pentatonic scale to pads, enable organ buttons on midi channel 2

LE STRUM has a special 6 string guitar mode, which knows basic major, minor and seven open chord fingerings for guitar. It can be used to lay down strummed guitar MIDI tracks without a MIDI guitar, and in a more convincing way that you could get from a keyboard. It's more than a toy, yessiree!

    Designed for hackability (e.g. solder wires to the provided holes on the pads to make proper "strings" to pluck)
    Transmits on MIDI Channel 1 for stylus activity and MIDI Channel 2 for Chord Buttons.
    Output is to a standard MIDI 5-pin DIN socket.
    A PP3 battery is required

The Le Strum is also available in kit form here

Size 98mm x 75mm x 45mm (incl MIDI socket) Weight approx 120g with battery

Please note that synthesizer hardware or software is required to make sound. LE STRUM is a MIDI controller and does not make any sound by itself!
