STRIKE is designed to leave audiences on the edge of their seats, delivering raw suspense, gritty energy, and pulse-pounding excitement. Created by Ergo Kukke and crafted for action-driven and stealthy thematic scoring, STRIKE is your new go-to library for modern cinematic composition.

Build dynamic soundscapes with intuitive randomization tools, deep sound controls, and customizable presets. Shape your score using sound source morphing, multiple modulation options, and a range of high-quality FX — all working together to give your music the punch it deserves.

Inspired by TV series like The Day of the Jackal and games like Cyberpunk 2077, Ergo set out to capture and extend the tension and intensity of those worlds, while crafting something entirely his own. STRIKE is a hybrid rhythmic instrument built from Ergo’s personal live recordings blended with top-tier synths. Its sound palette draws from evocative sources like abandoned military bases, wrecked vehicles, and instruments including an electric guitar, handpan etc. These recordings were then pushed through intense processing using wavetable and sample playback synths, with high-end FX chains putting the CPU through its paces. Every sound started with a question—and the answer was forged in sonic experimentation. STRIKE aims to push creative boundaries and bring bold, cinematic energy back into the world of Kontakt rhythmic libraries.

In a world flooded with libraries recycling the past, something different has arrived.
STRIKE is volatility. STRIKE is risk. STRIKE is the outlier—a bold new sonic weapon in your composing arsenal. Innovative, rebellious, and razor-sharp, STRIKE delivers a sound that stands apart while getting the job done.

STRIKE is the next in the series after Celestial Visions and Cyber Core, also made by Ergo Kukke. Check out these titles for more rhythmic

Stops working after it heats up
Style: Receiver
This unit can’t stay running for any period longer than 5 hours. The components start to heat up and the sound goes out completely. The audio will only return after the unit has been turned off and cooled. A complete waste of money.

Most dynamic and engaging sound
1/15/24: I should mention that I connected my old Yamaha rx 1070 and no HDMI or HDCP issues. The A8A started giving HDCP 2.2 errors. No video on TV. Have to restart receiver to get compatibility. This happened after a recent firmware update. Very unfortunate since it's an awesome receiver. Update 12/27: so I've had this receiver for just over a month and I can say with confidence that I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I have disconnected to Arundel 1723 speakers and the sound is just outstanding. I leave the surround AI on all the time and I've compared the sound with it on and off and the difference is perceptible. The surround AI makes dialogue more intelligible and creates a wide sound field. The best part again are the scenes which you can configure to your heart's content. I will point to the fact that initially I did the YPAO angle measurement incorrectly. There are two parts to the stand the tripod(propeller type)and a stand that fits onto it. The fourth position is high up on the stand after it is fixed to the propeller stand. Use a tripod stand to achieve great results. If you have Dolby Atmos and/ or front presence and rear presence speakers turn off the speaker virtualization and this will give you better sound. Also when doing the calibration choose your measurement points at least two to three feet apart. To give you some context I have tested the Onkyo RZ70, Sony 7000ES ,marantz Cinema 50 and Denon X4800. The Yamaha a8a outshines all these receivers. It is a blast to watch movies. The sound is very punchy especially in the mid bass and the lower bass is literally room shaking. The surround AI feature is awesome and I would advise that you use it. I was initially skeptic about this but it creates a sense of immersion as if you are right in the movie. The dialogue is crystal clear and very easily intelligible. I would strongly recommend using AI or at least giving it a try. The remote is backlit which is great. One of the most powerful features of this receiver is scenes. With this, you can assign various functions to one button on the remote. The only downside I see is the on-screen display which takes up the whole screen. It should be a banner at the bottom. The other issue I have is in the music cost app where on the input screen the whole real estate is taken up by a symbol that you can choose. I would have preferred instead some more useful information like the number of speakers being used. This is one of the best receivers I've ever heard. You will not be disappointed if you buy this.

Premium sound quality
Wao. This is amazing I am extremely satisfied with the Yamaha A8A. It delivers excellent sound quality and offers a premium Hi-Fi listening experience. I previously used a Denon 13.2 receiver, and the Yamaha not only measures up but surpasses it in many ways. The sound is outstanding, and I am very impressed with its performance. Overall, I highly recommend the Yamaha A8A for anyone seeking a high-quality audio receiver.

Quality and reliability included
Powerful upgrade to my modest home theater I had an a4a and wanted to upgrade to 5.2.4 Having the ability to adjust subs independently is the biggest difference I noticed immediately and made a huge impact in balancing my sound Paired with a emotiva basx A3 to take the pressure of my front stage I couldn’t be happier with how dynamic this setup is I tried a Denon 6700 and didn’t like it. The Yamaha has a backlit remote that lights up just by picking it up and pass through works great so with the unit off I can use anything attached to it with headphones or tv speakers without having to wake the family

Unreliable and may have NO WARRANTY
Unit has failed. It won't power up. Blinking red light. Called Yamaha and they are verifying the 3prd party through Amazon is a authorized dealer prior to authorizing repair. Less than 2 years old. Home page on Amazon sales screen advertises it comes with a 5 year warranty with registration. How would I know if or if not Amazons vender is a authorized dealer? I'm going to be you know what if they come back and say NO WARRANTY. I will update as the process moves along.
