MusicRadar rating

3.5 of 5

Pros

Great level of flexibility Can be as deep or shallow as you want. MIDI file playback is a bonus. Authentic guitar voicings. Sounds good for physical modelling...

Cons

...But not as good as a ROMpler. No MIDI out.

Verdict

If you want acoustic guitar without using samples or recording the genuine article, Strum Acoustic is a decent buy.
