Strike™ is a revolutionary RTAS instrument plug-in that makes it easy
to create, control and produce professional drum performances in Pro
Tools M-Powered with uncanny realism. One part intelligent virtual
drummer and one part professional drum module, Strike features a wide
range of high-definition drum kits and style choices, and allows for
unprecedented control over the virtual drummer’s performance.
Comprising 20 GB of 24-bit source material, Strike allows you to mix
and match kits, room tones, effects and playing styles as well as
explore the full dynamic range of a professionally tuned and miked drum
kit. And unlike other virtual drummer instruments, Strike is designed
expressly for the Pro Tools environment and delivers a level of
stability, efficiency and ease of use that no third-party product can
touch.
Meet Your New Drummer
With
Strike, nailing the perfect groove is as simple as choosing one of the
high-definition kits and telling the “virtual” drummer how to play. You
can adjust the playing intensity, complexity, timing, groove, dynamics
and much more—all in real time. For more control, you can use the
automation features in Pro Tools to polish all of your moves and get
the perfect drum performance. Connect your MIDI controller to tweak
your performance on the fly using knobs, sliders, drum pads, or
anything else that sends MIDI data. And for the ultimate in control,
try out the M-Audio Trigger Finger or Axiom keyboards—both include a
set of velocity-sensitive drum pads and a host of assignable
controllers.
Mix It Up
To
help you get the perfect drum sound, Strike includes a built-in mixing
console for full control over every aspect of the kit. Change virtual
microphone settings, such as room ambience and leakage, then take
advantage of dedicated 3-band EQ and two insert effects per channel.
Strike’s onboard effects range from dynamics and limiting to reverb and
delay, plus specialized tools like bit crusher and filter. The onboard
mixer lets you easily adjust the overall level and panning for each
drum and route individual sounds to separate mixer channels in Pro
Tools software.
Unbelievable Human Feel
Strike’s
proprietary real-time performance engine eliminates the mechanized
artifacts of typical sample-playback devices to deliver human results
with unparalleled realism. Increase the playing intensity and you’ll
get a smooth dynamic response in the drum tone instead of audible
velocity switches. Change up the feel or complexity and get instant,
natural-sounding results. With Strike, you can produce professional
drum tracks that are simply not possible with conventional sampling
technology.
Comprehensive Grooves
Strike
comes loaded with five high-resolution drum kits, each containing up to
12 instruments with up to 300 individual samples per instrument for an
incredible range of detail at full 24-bit resolution. Whether you
compose soundtracks, pop tunes or just need a drummer to jam along with
on your guitar, Strike delivers totally human results with over 1,500
editable preset patterns in popular music styles. Strike also lets you
create your own custom patterns with the onboard Style Editor, or by
functioning as a drum module in Pro Tools software.
