App Support is not opening

How to contact the developer? Pattern length 3, 5, 7 need to be included

App support web site is gone!

Their app support link dumps you to done commercial demain. Just go away. You’re an embarrassment. There isn’t a 4Pockets.com other than a white blank and in tiny, yony font: “No input file specified.”

Yes sir!

Combine this with Geoshred, and better soundfonts, and you are in acoustic heaven!!!

Crash

App keeps crashing being hosted in AUM on iPhone 15 pro max. Tried to get support but the web page that comes up looks suspicious. Not even using the internal sounds. Since I am using my phone I put it into airplane mode as I am getting alerts about a storm. It seems to be ok after that. Very useful app so I hope that is the issue. Wish there was a way to have piano to guitar chords and also be able to strum manually.

Thanks for the great feedback. Checkout my tutorial videos on YouTube which can be found on the 'Paul the MusicMan' channel. This is where I get into more detail than I could ever do using the help.

Good at what it does, but could do more

When making songs with a straight bpm, the strumming is serviceable especially with effects like random velocity and humanize which can add more realism so to speak to a performance.

But as far as any song with a swing/triplet tempo with any sort of specific version of such, this program can’t do anything like that at all. Compare this to how logic pro for ipad allows one to offset each note in its pattern editor. I think it’s a wasted potential that strummer doesn’t allow you to do this too, to have that much more control over songs

Crashes so much

i love this app and it has excellent sounds but i can’t have like more than 2 tracks of this plugin open in garageband before it corrupts the entire track and makes the project impossible to open and the plugin just does not work. Please fix this soon as i love using this plugin but i just cant if it keeps glitching out like this

Amazingly versatile guitar arpeggiator!

The more I use Strummer, the more it becomes a go-to guitar player in my AU hosts. In addition to playing patterns with touch pads, it will also convert incoming MIDI to guitar chords which can be arpeggiated. You can also send Strummer’s MIDI out to play another sound module. And, it’s a capable soundfont player, so you can load other sounds.

Song mode lets you construct a chord progression and have it play back in sync with your host.

Wonderful app but…

…it crashes constantly when used in AUM.

What??

This looks like it will take a midi composition and strum or sequence it (like phrasebox vst). If you’re looking for this, don’t waste your money. This will only sequence and arp the chords built into the app. Midi input is just to trigger their chords. Pretty sure this app is also a repackaged version of another one of their apps I bought thinking it would do the same thing.

Has potential but…

1. You can’t change chords mid pattern in latch mode. It seems to bug out and change half the chord so it sounds terrible.
2. You can’t strum with a midi controller! You can control nearly everything except the most important thing. I want to be able to strum up and down to my own rhythm on a midi controller.

Without these, it’s just a sequencer. And one where the UI is quite clunky.

Latest update

The was sort of working before. It was always crashing in IMPC pro 2 on iPhone 14 pro max.
Now it just says failed to load, it also fails to load stand alone. Now can I’m locked out of several projects that I utilized this with. Besides the latest update was the first update in a while. I hope this can be fixed in an update soon.

There should be no reason for it not loading in standalone mode. Try rebooting your iPad and see if that solves the problem.

It just crashes.

I tried to use the help function but that isn’t working, it just takes me to some sort of dodgy looking, ever so slick site which could be an ad of some sort. It’s certainly not what I was expecting so I have no other way of reporting this fault. This was a good app but it’s now unusable as it just crashes. It certainly doesn’t work in AUM anymore. I tried deleting then reinstalling but I still get nowhere with the help link, and I’ve got a non working app.

This app doesn't launch web sites so something is definately wrong there. Have you tried performing a reset on your iPad? Are you on the iOS17 beta?

Недостатки

1. Не нашел функции каподастра или возможности изменить тональность при игре в реальном времени на миди клавиатуре.
2. Не нашел функции pattern latch при игре в реальном времени на миди клавиатуре.
3. Мало вариантов звучания гитары, можно было бы докупать, после предварительного прослушивания.

Great…when it works.

Absolutes brilliant app apart from the fact I keep having to reboot GarageBand every five minutes to get it to be stable enough to work on a song.
I constantly get the message ‘Audio unit extension quit’ on my two iPad Pros and my iPad mini. It’s just too annoying to be bothered with I’m afraid.
Such a shame.

Works well on iOS, but crashes on macOS

Could you please optimize this wonderful app to work on M1 Macs?

Guitar for Garage Band

Wow this so very cool. The IOS GB platform is smoking hot.

Would give 5 stars

The app is great outside of crashing in IMPC Pro2 every time I adjust or edit anything… I WOULD LIKE TO SEE UPDATE that fixes the bugs which prevent the proper use as a AUv3 plugin.

I’m seriously opening and closing my apps with each minor adjustment and saving via Impc 2 (thankfully) just before it crashes.

Also I can’t use more than two instances of the app as a plug-in without it crashing. I have used this app since Covid hit in 2019 with the different iOS, iphones, iPads etc same story.

Please update this app.

Great App, only guitar-centric strummer and arpeggiator

Great app for what it does. I dream of the world where this has a similar interface to Helium, to save and export patterns to midi. As well as a way to tap or strum patterns manually and record. Picturing an interface reminiscent of guitarism.

Great app

Great app for sequencing chord progressions
