The Strum Acoustic integrates seamlessly into the industry most popular multi-track recording and sequencing environments both as a virtual instrument plugin. The Strum Acoustic works as any other plug-in in these environments so we recommend that you refer to your sequencer documentation in case you have problem to run the Strum Acoustic as a plug-in. - Using MIDI Links
Every parameter on Strum Acoustic's interface can be linked to an external MIDI controller. To assign a MIDI Link, right-click (Control+click on Mac) on a control (knob, button, or slider) and a contextual menu will appear. Select Learn MIDI Link. Move a knob or slider on your MIDI controller. This will link the control of the Strum Acoustic to the MIDI controller you just moved. - Using MIDI program changes
