Mildon Studios has released acoustic guitar strummer instrument Lemonstrum 2 and EQ9, an equalizer that is based on different characteristics of sound instead of frequencies.

Lemonstrum 2 VSTi Acoustic Guitar Strummer for PC lets you strum your midi keyboard just like a real guitar. It gives you 24 chord slots, each assignable with a custom chord and a keyboard trigger. The on-screen fretboard and keyboard allow you to plot new chords and keyboard triggers using drag n’ drop. A dedicated upstroke key (C3 – two octaves below Middle C) can be played alternately with the keyboard trigger you assigned (serves as your down-stroke) to create an effective strumming pattern.

Lemonstrum 2 features

  • 24 chord slots assignable with custom chords and keyboard triggers.
  • To get the first chord playing, try pressing Middle C-E-G chord (and so on, as plotted) on your midi controller.
  • Create and edit your own chords.
  • Pre-configured with all major and minor chords.
  • Variable strumming speed, release and bass-cut control.

EQ9 is an equalizer that is based on different characteristics of sound instead of frequencies.

It is for those who rely less on exact values and love to mix audio by ear. It’s a quick fix for professionals, and a big boost for starters.
