I hesitated before posting this because I wanted to test a couple of things for myself first. I mostly record live drums but I've certainly done my share of drum programming. With MIDI sequences, it was most often sequenced from scratch and, years ago, I'd use Drum Kit from Hell. For several years, I haven't done any drum programming because I haven't needed to for any of my clients, most of whom have drummers or I'd hire players for projects.
Some time ago, I bought the AIR Expansion including seven virtual instruments. Strike is among them. I took a quick look at strike and played a few notes, noticed that it had a ton of variations on patterns and didn't pay it much attention. another thing that at first made me wary was a series of numbers associated with the factory patches. I assumed these were bpm designations which really seemed quite limiting. Well, after some recent discussions, I decided to take a closer look. the numbers associated with patches are clearly not bpm values and the patterns within Strike are completely capable of following the session tampo map. the patterns within strike can be supplemented by individual drum hits and it's possible to create either incredibly simple patterns or very complex ones. I noticed that there are six hundred eighty-nine parameters that can be seen by VoiceOver. The plug-in offers a dizzying array of possibilities. I've never read the manual but I'm sure it would take some reading to understand Strike's full potential but, from what I've seen, it's an outstanding plug-in for drum sequences. To me, it seems if somebody wants to have one hundred percent control over the smallest detail of a drum performance, maybe Strike isn't the answer but, if you want that kind of control, get a drummer to play what you want and, even then, you won't have control over every aspect of their playing.
