There's a problem with Mixed Percussion whereby it is effectively inaudible below mf. The Mixed Percussion instrument sounds are significantly quieter than those of equivalent individual instruments at the same dynamic markings. I've tried bumping the volume up in the mixer, but it doesn't help. I've contacted support. Hopefully they can fix this, because the sounds are great, but currently unusable on a Mixed Percussion stave for me due to the glitch.
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.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BRING BACK THE OLD BASS DRUM SO THAT I WILL SIT AND NOD AT MY COMPOSITION'S SUM THE NEW BASS DRUM SOUNDS SO DUMB LIKE A TOAD BEING THROWN WITH STRENGH AND BRAWN INTO A CHEAP SNARE THAT HAS NO FLAIR PLAYING A FAST TREMOLO IS A METHOD OF TORTURE MAKES ME WANT TO GO AND BREAK MY FURNITURE A PROPER DRUM SHOULD SOUND AS FRIGHTENING THUNDER AND A GOOD TREMOLO FILLS YOU WITH DANGER
I love this, but it's really lacking in one way. WE NEED BOWED VIBES!!!! omigosh they're soo pretty and we would love to have a bowed vibraphone sound pls and thx :3
I love this! it is very good, but it is missing some instruments, like wind machine, thundersheet, hammer, and other uncommon instruments that could still be used in musescore. Besides that! it is VERY good!
Very nice samples of many percussions FOR FREE. I wanted to ask for every cymbal-related instrument (especially the Suspended Cymbal) if you could add Something to really cut the sound at the end of the note. When you use a tremolo of suspended cymbal, it stays resonating. And if you use the "damp on release" or the "secco", it doesn't play crescendos, but it doesn't have resonance. So I'm asking for a feature to totally stop the sound of every instrument from the cymbal family at a specific moment in the score. (Sorry if I missed an actual way to do it) Thank you for always adding new quality instruments sounds !
I love that MuseGroup updates all the libraries on the regular. Every other company just does 1 or 2 patches then calls it quits. Great tool to make use of!
Wow ! It's just now that i'm thinking of reviewing this. It's A-WE-SOME !!!!! Perfect plugin for percussions
and free
THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Obviously this is from when I had them, but they sound great! all I could ask for, though, is that there should be bowed vibraphone sounds. I don't have them anymore since they just won't download at all.
It really rocks, let's add Handbells next
there is a bass drum and gong ideat where you have to were we can have whale noises comig from the drum themselfs and itll be an fantasic thing to have but over all this the best percussion imput
The sound is good, but no matter what I do, the volume won’t get louder. I had the volume all the way up for the bass drum in the mixer, and the dynamics were fff. Didn’t make it any louder. All the instruments are stupidly quiet.
