Strum is Karplus-Strong string synth, written completely in assembly.
Two different and independent string generators for more variety of sounds, with own feedback, string length, attack/decay envelope and vibrato settings. First OSC is trying to simulate basic characteristics of four basic string types - nylon, bronze, steel and flatwound. Second generator uses basic shapes - sine, saw, triangle and square with additional options to tweak (tension & position).
Both generators share the same amp envelope, tremolo, timbre feedback settings and multi mode filter (lowpass, bandpass, highpass, bandreject, peak, Chamberlin lowpass, bandpass, highpass, peak, zOne lowpass, bandpass, highpass, peak, 303 lowpass, highpass and resonant filter). One LFO for cutoff modulation with 17 different shapes (Sine, Saw, Triangle, Ramp, Square and 4 of each based on Lorenz, Rosler and Ikeda attractors.
Delay, chorus and reverb module and simple soft knee limiter.

Just what I was looking for. They're definitely aren't a lot of karplus strong synths out there. Let alone free.. You can easily get that synthetic plucked string sound you hear from Björk or Massive Attack back in the day.

Awesome plugin. Strings sound nice, lots of presets, small and compact, looks great too.
