M-Audio Strike Virtual Drummer Software Instrument

M-Audio Strike, by the Digidesign Advanced Instrument Research group, is a revolutionary new RTAS instrument that makes it easy to create, control and produce professional drum performances from within your ProTools environment.

You pick the kit and tell the drummer how to play: Adjust the playing intensity, complexity, timing, groove, dynamics, and much more all in real time.

A groundbreaking new performance engine intelligently adjusts the timbre of the instrument as dynamics change, without producing the typical machine gun effect or audible velocity layer switching.

Choose from more than 1,500 editable preset patterns based on real recordings, or drum up your own MIDI performances. Strike offers five kits with up to 12 instruments and 300 samples per instrument. Using a proprietary lossless compression technology, M-Audio Strike stores an astounding 20 GB of 24bit audio in just 5GB of space, so you have a wealth of sounds at your immediate disposal. Once you've built the kit of your dreams and captured the perfect performance, take advantage of the built-in mixing console with its comprehensive palette of effects processing and multi-channel output capability.

Use M-Audio Strike for composing, creating professional drum recordings, or anything in between. However you employ your new drummer, M-Audio Strike delivers human results with uncanny realism.
