Native Instruments says it has released True Strike Tension, a new Soundpack expansion for its KORE 2 and KORE Player music utilities. The pack is based on samples from ProjectSAM's True Strike 2 library, and is intended for film scores and similar styles of music, containing suspenseful percussion sounds from a number of global instruments. Some regions represented include Africa, Japan and the Middle East; more exotic instruments include the bendir, kenkeni, darabuka and okedo-daiko.

Approximately 1GB of samples are present, which can be altered and adjusted as needed in KORE and are tagged with metadata for proper listing. True Strike Tension is currently available only through download, at a cost of $80.
