Strum is an intuitive multiband delay.
Designed to make spectral delays easier to use, Strum splits your signal evenly and cleanly into a bunch of different bands, and then allows you to control the delay time & feedback of each band.
Strum can work either in “free” or “sync” mode, where in “sync” mode each individual band’s delay time is synchronized to the tempo & time signature of your DAW, allowing for rhythmically-aware strumming.
Additionally, Strum provides a modulation panel for a bit more control of the delay times, allowing you to switch between “flutter” and “random” modes.
Highlights
Modulation Skew
Strum allows you to “skew” (or bias) the modulation based on frequency. Enabling the skew link & then adjusting the skew knob can increase / decrease the frequency / depth of your modulation as the frequency changes.
Dynamic Crossover
Strum’s multi-crossover system makes use of a proprietary filter bank which has both a flat frequency and phase response. Rest easy knowing that Strum isn’t coloring your sound at all when it doesn’t need to be.
Overlay Adjustment
Just in case the overlay that changes as the delay time & feedback are changed seems a bit too much to look at, you can go into the menu (by clicking the Lese logo) and disable it. We’ll still show you where the bands are split at, though.

What others are Saying
Strum can sound like a classic delay but its strength lies in the experimental sounds. It is capable to create sounds that are reminiscent of filtering with delay, physical modeling with strumming, and more.
Priding itself on its ability to produce more nuanced and avant-garde sounds, Strum seems to offer some truly inventive options for producers who like to think outside the box.
