What Strike 2 does
The plugin is built around a dynamic drum arranger in which the sample library is mapped so that drum patterns can be shaped in real time. Intensity, complexity, timing, groove and dynamics can be manipulated while a pattern plays, and dynamics are controlled smoothly, without audible velocity switches. It loads 19 customizable drum kits, including an R&B acoustic kit, a funky acid jazz kit and a reverb-drenched 80s kit, and it can also read WAV and AIFF files from a user’s own sample libraries.
The built-in virtual mixing console gives control over the sound of the kit. Each drum component can be routed and mixed discretely, and the console includes a dedicated EQ, a compressor, control room ambience and microphone level and leakage settings. Each channel has two insert effects processors chosen from a list that includes a limiter, tube saturation, distortion, bit crusher, filter, ring modulator, delay, reverb and phaser. Parts can be exported as audio or MIDI to quickly create drum loops and MIDI sequences in a DAW, and MIDI Learn maps controllers to parameters.
The release circulates as a crack and repack, often shared as a torrent or magnet link, and is packed as .rar or .iso, with the macOS build known as a .dmg crack and the Windows build as an x64 crack.
Key features
- Dynamic arranger and Style Editor. Patterns are arranged in real time, and the Style Editor is where custom drum patterns are built and saved within the plugin.
- Smooth dynamics response. Playing intensity changes the drum tone and dynamics continuously, which the developer contrasts with switching between velocity layers.
- Discrete routing and mixing. Each component of the drum kit can be routed and mixed separately through the built-in console.
- Channel insert processors. Two insert effects processors per channel can be chosen from limiter, tube saturation, distortion, bit crusher, filter, ring modulator, delay, reverb and phaser, alongside a dedicated EQ and compressor.
- Room and microphone controls. Control room ambience and microphone levels and leakage can be adjusted to shape how the kit sits in a mix.
- Custom sample libraries. WAV and AIFF files from a user’s own sample libraries can be loaded alongside the included kits.
- Audio and MIDI export with MIDI Learn. Audio and MIDI can be exported for drum loops and sequences in a DAW, and MIDI Learn assigns controller knobs and faders to parameters.
