Kit Section Controls
The Kit section influences the sound of Instru-
ments used in the current Kit.
Instrument Load Size
Use this control to adjust the amount of wave-
form data loaded into your computer’s RAM for
each Instrument.
Eco Is the smallest possible Instrument load
size. Eco uses fewer system resources for the In-
strument, but also limits the range of expression
available.
Mid Is the Strike default Instrument load size.
Mid provides a good balance between system
load and range of expression available.
XXL Is the largest possible Instrument load size.
XXL provides the maximum range of expression
available, but also places the greatest demands
on system resources.
Tune
The Tune control adjusts the tuning of the In-
strument. The maximum tuning deviation is
five semitones up or down. Move the control to
the right to raise and to the left lower the tun-
ing.
Start Point
The Start Point control changes the attack
sound of Instrument hits by moving their sam-
ple start points later. Move the control to the
right to trim the attacks of Instrument hits with-
out delaying them.
Attack
The Attack control softens the attack phase of
Instruments by applying an amplitude envelope
to the start of each Instrument hit. Move the
control to the right to increase the time needed
for the attack to rise to full amplitude.
Decay
The Decay control shortens the played instru-
ment hits by applying an amplitude envelope to
the end of each Instrument hit. Move the con-
trol to the left to decrease the time needed for
the decay to fall from full amplitude to zero.
Timbre Shift
The Timbre Shift control influences the Instru-
ment’s sound character by changing timbre and
volume level. Using Timbre Shift, you can
change the Instrument’s character without hav-
ing to rebalance levels. Move the control to the
right for harder timbre at lower volume, move
to the left for a softer timbre at higher volume.
Fader Section Controls
The Fader section provides the most common
Mix controls, which are also available on the
Mix page. See “Mix Page” on page 29.
