- 📦Strum: Tabs Made Easy updated to version 1.11.0» More chords. The chords real ukulele songs use most are now built in on high-G, low-G and baritone: power chords, add11s, minor add9s and add11s, minor 6ths, 9ths and 11ths. Minors, 7ths and major 7ths reach sharp and flat roots, and 6ths and add9s reach all twelve roots, on guitar too.
» Long songs scroll smoothly. Strum builds only the measures near the screen, so a long transcription stays quick.
» Stepping stays where you work. On iPhone, Next and Previous keep the chords in view instead of scrolling back up to the frets.
› Harmonics sound at the right pitch. A 12th-fret harmonic used to play an octave too high.
› A rolled melody note no longer stumbles when the same string is plucked again straight away.
› Hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides keep their arc on a song written in sixteenths or thirty-seconds.
› Undo keeps working after a swipe back you start and let go of.
› On a Mac, sound comes back without a relaunch after an audio device disappears.
› Reduce Motion covers more of the app.
› Plus smaller fixes to speed and playback.… more - 📈Strum: Tabs Made Easy entered the top 100Top Paid · Music · JP

About Strum: Tabs Made Easy
Strum is a clean, focused tablature editor for ukulele, guitar, and electric guitar. Write a song, drop in chords, set a strum pattern, and hear it back on a real recorded instrument, all on one screen, laid out the way fretted-instrument players think about a song.
» Tab-first editing
› Choose what you see: standard staff, tablature, beat counters, chord boxes, chord names, strum directions, and lyrics.
› Tap a beat to add a chord or frets, then step on to the next without closing. Copy a measure and paste it anywhere, or duplicate whole sections.
› Section labels, repeat barlines, and per-section time signatures: a 5/4 bridge inside a 4/4 song is a two-tap change.
» Capo, written the way songbooks write it
› Set a capo on any song and playback moves to the real sounding pitch, while the tab keeps showing the frets you actually hold.
› Chord names do not change (a C shape is still "C"), and a "Capo 3" badge sits on the song and on exported PDFs.
› Standard notation follows the capo, because notation shows what you hear.
› The tuner knows too: tune the open strings, then check the capoed pitches.
» Real instruments, not a synth
› In Instrument mode nothing you hear is synthesised. The ukulele was recorded note by note for this app, so chords ring and fade like the real thing, body taps and chucks included.
› Guitar and electric guitar are sampled from real instruments too. If you would rather have the lighter built-in synth, it is one switch in Settings, set per device.
» Pay once, play forever
› No subscriptions, no accounts, no ads. Buy Strum once, and it's yours.
» Every tuning, and a tuner that knows them
› Ukulele: high-G, low-G, Baritone. Guitar and electric guitar: Standard, E-flat Standard, Drop D, Drop C, each with its own full chord library.
› Build a custom tuning at any open-string pitch, or hide the ones you never use. Copy a song into another tuning with the same chord shapes.
› The built-in tuner handles all of them, custom ones included, and can set a custom tuning by ear from a plucked string.
› An adaptive noise gate learns your room's background noise, so the needle stays steady.
› Concert pitch from 415 Hz to 446 Hz: an ensemble at 442 or a baroque group at 415 is one tap away.
» Practice
› Follow tab highlights the current beat and chord as it plays, auto-scrolling your tab hands-free.
› The in-song metronome locks to your sheet music's time signature and subdivision, so it never drifts out of phase.
› Rhythm Training builds speed with automated tempo ramps and a live progress dashboard.
› Drop-Out Training mutes the click after a few measures, to test whether you drift.
» Chords and strum patterns
› A library of common ukulele and guitar shapes ready to drop into a beat, plus your own built in the multi-fret finger editor.
› Change a fingering globally, or long-press a chord in the beat editor to override it for one song.
› Build strum patterns from up and down strokes, arpeggios, fingerstyle, chucks, mutes, and rests
