Strike Plug-in Guide38
Beat Synchronizes to the Pro Tools session
tempo and to the nearest beat. This means a Pat-
tern
that is triggered will play from its start point
at the next quarter-note beat in the Timeline.
Pattern Change Grid
The Pattern Change Grid option sets the posi-
tion in the bar where Strike changes from the
current Pattern to the next. For example, if this
parameter is set to half notes (1/2), the Pattern
change only occurs when the next half note in
the bar is reached, regardless of when the Pat-
tern is actually triggered.
Pattern Retrigger
If Pattern Retrigger is set to On, each time a new
Pattern is triggered, it immediately replaces the
Pattern that is currently playing. If Pattern Re-
trigger is set to Off, the new Pattern is not played
immediately, but only after the current Pattern
finishes playing, based on the time set in Pattern
Change Grid.
Fill Triggering
The Fill Triggering setting defines how Fills are
triggered. There are three options:
Next Triggers the Fill at the next allowed posi-
tion defined by the Pattern Change Grid setting,
plays the whole Fill, and then changes back to
the previously selected Pattern.
A.S.A.P. Triggers the Fill at the next musically
sensible position for the time the key is held—
changes back to the previously selected Pattern
after the key is released.
While Held Triggers the Fill immediately, and
plays it for the entire time the key is held.
Changes back to the previously selected Pattern
immediately after releasing the key.
Crash After Fill
When the Crash After Fill setting is On, Strike
plays a crash cymbal hit at the first beat of the
next bar after a Fill is played.
Pause Mode
This configuration defines how the Pause keys
work. There are three options:
Toggle Pauses Instrument playback when a
Pause key is triggered. Playback resumes only
when the Pause key is triggered again. This is the
default setting.
Held Pauses Instrument playback as long as the
Pause key is held.
Released Pauses all Instruments by default, sin-
gle Instruments are resumed as long as their
Pause keys are held.
Tool Tips
Activates or deactivates Tool Tips for the Strike
plug-in. A Tool Tip is a small window that dis-
plays descriptive text for a specific control. It ap-
pears next to the cursor when holding the cur-
sor over a control.
Save Configuration
Saves the plug-in settings and the current MIDI
controller mapping as the plug-in’s default set-
ting for your Pro Tools system. This only applies
to the initialization of new instances of the
plug-in.
In general, plug-in settings are saved with
the session, letting you save different de-
fault settings for different sessions (or types
of sessions). Additionally, this guarantees
that the plug-in settings of the current plug-
in and session transfer to other systems.
