Muse Percussion

I just wrote an entire review and accidently deleted it, so I’ll make this brief. The sounds are amazing, I recommend this product. But, I think the new notehead functionality in the newest update may have accidently cause an issue with playback. Some specific notes just cut out and don’t make any noise. These are notes I copy pasted from another percussion track. Let’s say I have a snare and taiko part in a song. I’ll copy paste a rhythm from the taiko onto the snaare part, and that won’t make noise because the soundfont for snare drum ONLY has snare sounds. It will see the taiko notes and just not play them because it doesn’t have taiko sounds even though it uses perfectly normal noteheads. I went to the MS Basic soundfont, and the notes that don’t work on Muse Persussion play the sound it was copy pasted from. So, it would play the taiko sound on the snare drum part on MS Basic, and on Muse Percussion, it wouldn’t even make a sound. And copying is a lot more efficient than inputing everything manually. This wasn’t an issue before the update. I reaaly hope that this can be fixed. Thank you if you took the time to read this.

Lately, for some reason, my suspended cymbal crescendo rolls have been sounding rough, with there being a sudden jump in emphasis and volume around the end; this wasn't an issue before recently, with the rolls sounding smooth as intended; Idk what happened

These are miles better compared to the vanilla soundfonts, and its criminal that they’re free. The vibraphones & marimas sound amazing, and mix incredibly well with any instrument. 9/10, would recommend.

This is by FAR has the best percussion samples for MIDI playback on the market. It's almost criminal that this is a free product. This paired with Muse Drumline is easily the best percussion sampling I have ever heard from a computer. Nearly sounds live.

I love how many different instruments there are in this pack! And they mostly sound realistic. This has the best suspended cymbal roll with mallets in anything I've tried.

I like thes part ! TKS ~

I have a few problems -The instruments are not in alphabetical order anymore, especially the newer percussion. They're at the bottom of the selection for some reason now and it's very inconvenient -The toms accents are ridiculously loud now. It's good for big impact moments but when you need a slightly louder hit, it's very annoying. Also the general dynamics are terrible now. Non-accented notes are very quiet. They sound a dynamic or two quieter - Snare drum is horrible. Doesn't sound like a concert snare, more like a field drum but worse. I end up using the MS Basic snare all the time -Using the soft mallets sound flag on the vibraphone at forte is unusable. It sounds like it was sampled with the player slamming the keys just to be loud enough which makes sense for softer mallets but you can hear the keys rattling which makes it stand out like a sore thumb -Would be nice to add rim clicks to the snare and toms on the drumsets

the kit is very out of sync, especially when you start getting louder in dynamics. also, all of the individual drums are different dynamics from eachother. like why am i trying so hard to hear the snare and all i can hear is bass and high hat?

Just installed the new update and for whatever reason the drum kit no longer plays in sync with everything else. And ya wanna know the worst part about it? The description for the update says "Improved GM Drum Kit timing"

Unfortunately this new update has rendered the drum kit unusable. Following this most recent update the kick on the drum kit is all kinds of messed up. It plays completely out of sync with the rest of the kit. A lot of what i write involves a drum kit and a kick drum so i would love to see this fixed sometime soon.
