  • Living Fish Studio Guitar Stroke HelperBuild guitar strokes from TAB notation — no guitar skills required. Guitar Stroke Helper is a guitar MIDI workflow tool. Design your performances from TAB notation — fretting and picking controlled independently. Shape strokes, riffs, arpeggios, or custom picking patterns, then export the result as MIDI and play it through your preferred guitar library. You design the performance. They handle the sound. Designed for composers and arrangers who want realistic guitar parts without needing to play guitar: TAB-based note input — type fret numbers directly, just like reading a TAB sheet. Independent fretting and picking — change chords and strokes separately for flexible performance building. Stroke curve editor — control the timing of each string for realistic strum feel. Anchor string — choose which string lands on the beat for natural groove. Per-string velocity and on/off — fine-tune dynamics string by string. Custom tuning — set each string's pitch freely. MIDI drag and drop — export your patterns to your DAW and play through your preferred guitar library. Note: Guitar Stroke Helper outputs MIDI only. A guitar library is required for sound. Compatibility: macOS: VST3 / AU. Windows: VST3 (tested on Windows 10). Tested DAWs: Mac: Cubase, Reaper, Logic Pro, Luna. Windows: Cubase, Reaper. Read More
