Some Strums

If you only care about 8th notes, and strum down on even 8ths, and up on odd 8ths, you can enumerate all the possible simple strums! Since we have 8 binary choices, we get 2^8 possible strums. We can count up from 0 to 256 in binary and treat a 1 as 'hit the strum at this position'. So here they all are! Click a strum pattern to start playing a sample, use the stop sign to stop it. Fun fact; using this system the 'island strum' is the 183rd strum.
