Project Sam True Strike 1 plug-in unveiled
21st January 2005
Project Sam has unveiled the plug-in version of their
True Strike 1 orchestral percussion library. Based on Steinberg's new
HALion Player technology, the full 18GB "
Professional Edition" of True Strike 1 features 51 extensively sampled percussion instruments, covering large and small percussion, five melodic percussion instruments as well as a wide range of non-classical "crossover" sounds. Also available is the 5GB "
Starter Edition" which features 40 out of the 51 percussion instruments in one microphone set (The Professional Edition includes the three familiar microphone sets close, stage and far).
A glimpse of the instruments and features you will encounter:
- A 5 GB timpani set (3 mics) including a wide range of crescendo and diminuendo rolls, note bending effects and modern playing techniques.
- Powerful gran casa, snaredrum and snare ensemble - sampled with both snares on and off with six alternations per hit - military drum, field drum and toms including a wide variety of typical action phrases and rolls.
- Another great feature are the ensemble hits - different instruments playing simultaneously.
- Five melodic instruments are available: glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, vibraphone and celesta; the last being the very first to be available in three microphone sets.
- Apart from symphonic instruments a wide variety of crossover instruments has been sampled such as bongos, congas, timbales, crotales, Thai gongs and body percussion.
The True Strike 1 plug-in is available now to pre-order:
- Starter Edition: US$199 / EU€149
