Description: Fluid Strike is an instrument designed to create multi-layered melodic percussion patterns with ease.
Wood, steel, stone, bamboo, glass and gourd combine to create the original sound. A sound that can be perceived both in the past and in the future.
Fluid Strike allows you to customize your sounds in a completely unique way with a variety of effects and tools for sound shaping and auto-playing rhythmic and melodic functions.
We didn’t stop at sampling each instrument just once. Where possible, each instrument was recorded using a variety of sticks, mallets, fingers, hands and bows. For example, the vibraphone is played with soft hammers, open and muted, rubber mallets, open and muted, and bows! Choose what you need. Among the 30 instruments recorded for Fluid Strike, there are 63 different sample sets!
TRIPLE PLAY ENGINE: Select three sound sources to layer them together. Arpeggiate these sources with independent patterns, tempos, and playback modes. Shape and apply effects to up to three audio sources, independently of each other. Select any effect directly from the interface (and swap on the fly).
Peculiarities :
30 tuned percussive instruments
