Unfortunately, the new All-In-One implementation multi-mode feature, where you can load different instruments in different slots isn’t going to work for me because you cannot yet use Articulation Sets in Logic Pro with it.

PS says they will consider adding the ability to do so in a future update.

EDIT: They have promised me the Logic Articulation Set issue will be addressed in an update soon, and thanked me for bringing it to their attention. Wonderfully responsive company!.

Just thought I'd mention this is not helping the cause<G>...

This is quickly approaching "no-brainer" status.

ProjectSam replied on VI-C that they have no plans at this time to update True Strike 2 to version 2.0

[Tanuj Tiku]

I finally upgraded from my 2008 version, after 13 years. What a fantastic update! It truly is one of those spectacular libraries from back in the day. I think it's the oldest library I still use all the time.

For $33, it is a steal and so great of them to offer it for free to existing mid season Kontakt release owners.

[Muziksculp]

By the way, ProjSam mentioned that they have no plans to update True Strike 2 to ver. 2. at this time. (they posted it on VI-C).

[wst3]

Not sure why, but I decided to throw caution to the wind. I picked up True Strike 1 ver 2 a couple days ago.

I won't go so far as to say I regret not having purchasing it sooner, but it does sound really lovely. It has that ProjectSam vibe, which I really like.

It will be added to my usual suspects, I don't know that it knocks anyone else out, but it is a nice addition. Especially the timpani and the military snares.

[soundbylaura]

Ooook hope y'all didn't listen to me.

BestService has it for $99.

What would be the closest comparison for this library? i.e. people who don't use TrueStrike, what do they use instead? Spitfire Percussion? Cineperc?

I'm also curious where this was recorded and if it's a stage or a concert hall.

[soundbylaura]

Neat!!

Dear Laura,

Thank you for contacting us.

It is currently not possible in True Strike 1 version 2.0 to assign CC controls to the dots on the Positioning Stage. However, it appears you're not the only one who was wondering about this and therefore we're currently working on implementing this feature with the next update.

The update will include some small bug-fixes and add some additional features, like the one you mentioned. We expect the update to be available in Native Access within 1 month from now.

Thank you for your feedback, it's much appreciated!


Best regards,

Wytse

Can't answer that second question, but to the first... I've been through several "go to" orchestral percussion libraries, none of which has ever turned out to be truly a go-to. I happen to use Toontrack Superior3, so on a whim I picked up their orchestral percussion library. It is nothing like True Strike, but it has survived as my "go to" since I bought it, which is something of a record.

I did pick up True Strike this past week and I am really enjoying just listening to it. I think it will compliment the Toontrack library nicely. I'll let you know.

I'm also curious where this was recorded and if it's a stage or a concert hall.

True Strike was recorded in a concert hall, as are most (all?) libraries by Project Sam. From their 'About us' page:

"they set out to record their own, focusing on three main things:

1. an ambient, multi-mic setup in a concert hall environment,"

(https://projectsam.com/about/)

They don't disclose the concert hall that they use for their recordings. It could be the TivoliVredenburg, as that's the concert hall in Utrecht, where Project Sam is located. That's just a guess based on location, though.

Thanks!

TRUE STRIKE 2.1 Update is out though TBH I'm not sure when it was released and I might be way late with this info.

[Ashermusic]

2.1 Update is out though TBH I'm not sure when it was released and I might be way late with this info.

Whoa, thank you Laura, they said they would notify name, but they didn't. 2.1 fixes it so that Articulation Sets work with either the All-In-One or individual instrument articulations again.

[Guy Rowland]

Not only are you not late, Laura, you're time-travel early. Just had an email about 2.0 being out in a couple of days, and here you are with 2.1 already. How can any of us compete?

Here's a video showing the new stuff including adaptive sync and - this is unexpected - create your own multis:

[soundbylaura]

Eh, it's the holidays, lots of free stuff being given away, many an opportunity to open up Native Access. Just happened to be one of those days.

You made me look - not available here. Maybe NI jumped the gun - did you manage to download it? Otherwise I guess it rolls out at slightly different times for people.

[stonzthro]

There's a True Strike 2.1 update, but no Symphobia yet - at least not on my end.

[soundbylaura]

Yeah, sorry it's the TRUE STRIKE 2.1 update. No Symphobia yet.

[Guy Rowland]

Ah mystery solved.

Looks quite fun though, the S1 update. I guess it means downloading all the content again though - at least it is a relatively small library.
