Native Instruments ACTION STRIKES - The Definitive Guide

Timecode below 👇 The Definitive Guide to Action Strikes from Native Instruments and Sonuscore. Learn it ALL in one hour.
Action Strikes is a drum and percussion library perfect for cinematic and orchestral scores. It includes 3 different .nki's (Instruments): Ensemble, Hits, and Instrument.
We will go through each of these in the video. This video will be the same thing as reading the manual, except better since you will actually see and hear what things do. There is also a demo of the sounds and patterns at the end of the video.
Action Strikes runs in Native Instruments Kontakt. It includes 12 full ensembles and 105 time tested rhythms/MIDI loops. This means you can score a scene fast, with only a few key presses - and have an epic, cinematic, percussion track in no time.
It also includes the Hits nki, so you can come up with any phrase you want by playing in the drum hits with a MIDI keyboard or programming in your DAW. All the drums and percussion you need for cinematic and orchestral work is here; Takios, big toms, ethnic percussion, big powerful drums and more.
The Instrument nki is a hybrid of the Ensemble and Hits nki. You can play single hits, rolls, and patterns.
Action Strikes is a cinematic percussion powerhouse, and you can purchase it alone for about $299 OR (a much better option IMO) get it with Komplete Ultimate or Collectors Edition.

Great tutorial thanks ...

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Great demo! I just got into the NI game this month, purchasing a NIS61 keyboard and the Komplete Ultimate 13. So many great instruments and sounds, it's a bit overwhelming for sure! This was very helpful as I really love using Action Strikes. I hope you do other in-depth tutorials on some of the other NI instrument packs. Those videos are great for someone new to the NI world! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your videos. To the point, no bullshit, speaking at a decent pace, all the bits you need to know in about an hour. I've paid a lot of money for a lot worse videos. Please don't stop making these!

[@Harrysound]

Thanks so much for this lazy long informative video.

THANK YOU!!!!

Thanks for watching 👍

[@dfizzbom]

Awesome video. Thank you. Having this now for a couple months there are two quirks I noticed. I have a nasty lag in the dials in the mixer section. The sound seems to respond right away but the dB updates are laggy. They shouldn't have the dB readings show only when you move a dial either. Bad. DB window display please. These drums have a ton of room baked in too. You can turn off the reverb and still deal with a boomy mess. It can make mixing these drums a challenge. As great as the rhythms are they can actually get lost in the mix. I haven't been able to get a decent level on the rhythms in a mix without paying careful attention to the stereo spread, taking the verb mostly out, and high passing with the filters to get them to cut through. I like them but they can be challenging to work with the interface and cut through a mix. YMMV.

Everything you want to know about Action Strikes in ONE VIDEO! Check the description for timecode to each section for the 3 different nki's. Hit that sub button and like 👍

[@davelovett7124]

This is truly is the definitive guide for Action Strikes. Well done, sir. One note - it's pronounced TAYK-O or TIKE-O (not TAYK-EO/TIKE-EO)

[@BenoniStudio]

Thats true for proper English. I got my pronunciation from listing to Japanese people talk about Taiko drums in Japanese where they will often add a "eeyo" to the end of many words. Although this varies between parts of Japan too 🤣

[@davelovett7124]

@@BenoniStudio Ah, Gotcha!

[@1000buffalos]

This is a great tutorial. There were KZbin videos discussing problems, apparently, with this instrument syncing with DAWs. It appears that is no longer a problem,?

[@richardhardiman3896]

Anyone know why when you have action strikes open and you hit a key it plays at a certain speed. But, when you enter exactly the same note into your daw, it plays at about half speed. I have the playback set at 'phase sync' and tempo at 1:1 so in theory what i program into the daw should be the same speed. Just cant figure it out.

[@Renaxelo]

I'm sorry, I'm new on this. Could you please tell me how to automate the ModW and PitchW in ableton ?

[@fmussnig]

When you edit a Midi Clip in Ableton you can edit it's envelope. Among them you find MIDI Ctrl Data with Pitch Wheel, Mod Wheel and in general, any Midi CC. See here: www.ableton.com/en/manual/clip-envelopes/

[@faizalgs435]

does action strikes have tempo settings

[@knickerbockers2010]

thats only thing i want to know....most important than all the rest....i need to make it faster or slowlier to adapt to a song, otherwise is useless

[@862leon]

Can you program your own patterns in action strikes?

[@BenoniStudio]

Not within Action Strikes. But you can use a MIDI track and the single hits to create whatever you want 👍

[@MichaelTanMusic]

can't believe there's no way to edit the preset MIDI patterns in a DAW. seriously?? dragging a long note to cover a bar? NI that is terrible.

[@smoothoperator3739]

How in the world do you save it to a wav or mp3 file. There's no point to use this if you can't save it to one of those files

[@BenoniStudio]

Record your sequence in a DAW and export.
