Hi Daniel,
There also is a specific topic about strumming machine improvements. Adding 16th notes has been suggested by others, too. And as a most recent update, just yesterday Laryne has confirmed work on updating this tool has been started.
Maybe one of the mods could merge this posting into above topic?

Not sure if it has been mentioned but a built in timer would be useful and would save having to juggle my iPhone with my iPad.

This has already been suggested, but Iāll toss my vote in as well.
One āchord selectionā that is a fret mute. Which will match Justinās strumming course Grade 1 where no chord is played other than fret-muted strings. 
Iād be willing to pay for a new and improved web app with 16th strumming patterns.

Could we have presets along the tempo slide bar starting at 70bpm every 10bpm up to 130? So if you clicked 80bpom it would be set without having to use the + or -.

Another suggestion.
Could we have the option to play two bars with different patterns. For example Old Faithful for the first bar and then all eights for the second, which the repeat.

Love the Strumming machine program under the resources tab.
But, is it possible to introduce different time signatures? Iād really like to practice my 16th strumming over two measures.
100% agreed.
If you have a web browser and can download an .html file, you might find this useful to tide you over until Justin and team find time to update theirs - it lacks that professional polish, but it can generate a wide variety of rhythm patterns:

Hi Greg,
This is good feedback and it has been suggested already
The good news is that Justinās team has started actively working on an update for the strumming machine tool, and they will let us know when the new version is live.
Last, but not least, welcome to the forum @gdiddy
All the best,

Thank you for your fast reply!
Thank you so much!
Came accross this tool by accident. My .initial thoughts are it is a great idea but unfortunately does not deliver. It only takes a few bars before realising the vocal count isnāt in synch. I found the metronome sounds terrible with extra sounds going on and found the delay on the chord a bit irritating.
Do you mean itās out of temp or out of synch with the visuals? I use it with my bone conducting headphones just with the vocal count set low (so itās in the background) and donāt watch the visuals.
Set on a basic one strum per bar the vocal count progressively gets earlier and earlier. Within a minute the āOneā is being called on beat four, and by 90 seconds it is being called on beat three. This is with strum sound, vocal count and metronome all on.
the strumming machine would even more benefit when an adjustable or preset timer is added, no?
And even later on the possibility to have an adjustable chord choice during the set interval.

At 60 BPM, with only the voice count on, beat 4 sounds rushed to me. Four is a hard word to say in time because of the F sound, but, can this be improved?
The voiced ā4ā is a 64th early.
Dear JG support and developers,
I would like to ask you if you plan to add 16th note strumming blank template or not? I am using Strumming Machine for study materials - snipping the pattern to Excel and then printing and this is something I really miss. Like I could use it in Wonderwall or right now in Every Rose Has Its Thorn but because there is not this option I wont have my study material in one stylization and gotta look for alternative.
It does not have to be with metronome or any chordsā¦ I would be really happy if I can just use blank template in more than 4:4.
Thanks for answer.
