Strike Strings is an outstanding tool for creating action-packed, energetic string arrangements—perfect for both film scoring and music production. As a scoring mixer, I know how challenging it can be to achieve convincing string sounds that capture the full dynamic range while maintaining a rich, natural tone. Strike Strings delivers on both fronts. The arrangements created with it sound expressive and powerful, with an impressive level of realism. Plus, the intuitive interface and thoughtfully designed presets make the creative process fast and seamless for composers and producers alike.

Testimonials · Strike Strings
Loved by composers
Forge Low Strings, Forge Trumpet, and Strike Strings are a great starting point when you're short on ideas — load a patch, play a few keys, and you instantly have something to build on. They're also real time-savers for the more generic building blocks of a cue, like rhythmic patterns and ostinatos.
Kamil RzeczkowskiOrchestral Composer & Music ProducerThis library is highly versatile for composers seeking practicality and agility. If you're looking for a collection of action-packed sounds with elaborate and striking arrangements, this is the perfect choice to enhance your sonic arsenal.
Felipe RienteComposerThe quality of Strike Strings is incredible and realistic. It added depth to my compositions. With Strike Strings, I’ve saved valuable time. I can create string arrangements quickly.
Jovane GregoriniComposerStrike Strings exceeded my expectations with dynamic and engaging ostinatos that brought more life to my game and film soundtracks. The sound quality and ease of composition streamlined my workflow, making the production process more intuitive and inspiring.
Florencio NetoComposerStrike Strings is awesome for getting a great string texture for action, fantasy, and even suspense scores. I really like the options of having just the low end strings and just the high end strings for each variation. It gives you a whole other level of creativity by mixing and matching the string types for each preset. This plugin is perfect for action scores and those always quickly approaching deadlines.
Robert RosenbrookComposerStrike Strings delivers dynamic ostinatos, impactful phrases, and harmonic progressions ready to boost your creative flow! With an intuitive interface and professional sound quality, it’s a powerful tool for epic compositions — perfect for those seeking speed in production without sacrificing expressiveness.
