Muse Percussion Reviews

Everything about this is amazing, nothing else to really say. The only issue I have is with the drum kit, I feel like it could definitely support more drums (like the large kit in regular MS basic), and the balance between each part of the kit seems a bit off (E.G in one song I'm working on, at forte the hi hat open and closed is a bit louder than the kick and snare drum)

Like most of the muse group packs, this one is good, however there is an issue with the bass drums currently where it plays tremellos (specifically the 8th note/16 note ones) as if it is FF regardless of the actual dynamic. Not a dealbreaker but it greatly messes with one of my songs.

Where is the rest of Auxilary Percussion?

Great! However, I would like to request that you add more drum kits, such as brush kits and other percussion instruments. I hope that one day I will be able to use a wider variety of drum kits in my music.

pretty realistic & I like the diverse sounds, but I have some nitpicks: suspended cymbal sounds janky sustained or transitioning between certain dynamics, snare drum with snare on sounds too much like the snare is off at lower dynamics, temple blocks use the wood blocks sound & have only 2 sounds instead of the usual 5 in most temple blocks. Brake drum, Zildjian, thunder sheet, ocean drum, and marching machine would be great additions to the sound library. Techniques should be expanded (via sound flags) for bowed mallets/cymbals, dead strokes, mallet shaft hits, striking with fingers, friction mallets, etc.

This addon is amazing and all the people who worked on it should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved. Using this is way better than the default sounds I only have one suggestion. It has a hard time registering the base marimba sounds and comes out very washed sounding so a small improvement to that could go far. Last the quality of roles, specifically in base, isn't great but is still a major step up compared to the default. Again great job I hope this isn't discouraging at all I only have a few small complaints otherwise Thank You for such a great plugin!

I'll want you add more drumkits, like jazz kit or brush kits (or Brushes in staff text)

This rocks. Some updates to add would be the scrape sound in soundflags for Gong, Piatti, Suspended Cymbal, & Tam-Tam, extend timpani range up higher than C4 (tenor timpani range), & even add the Rim Click for Concert Bass Drum (e.g. Ancient Voices by Michael Sweeney, etc.)

These samples are really realistic, one of my favorites has to be timps, especially with the addition of soft/hard mallets, and also xylophone, Piatti, and Timbales, are very crisp. However, with some other instruments, particularly snare, triangle and field drum are buggy. The triangle is too soft, and Field Drum and Concert snare are too ringy, and not crisp enough. Also, adding small/large sizes for Sus. Cym is good, so if we can also do that with snare, Piatti, Tam-Tam, then this would be perfect!

I can't download the template it keeps on erroring is this a bug?

Muse Percussion is really good. It has a lot of different instruments, supports rolls (I'm especially excited about the Suspended Cymbals, given that they didn't exist with the normal sounds), and has a decent tone. However, I have a problem with the snare drum. It doesn't really sound too much like snare drum, and sounds more like gunshots. The default snare drums sound closer to a real snare. If you could make them a bit quieter and less "gunshotty", I would appreciate it a lot.

The percussion sounds are great and includes a vast amoiunt of instruments, including a new Muse Drum Kit. However, I noticed some playback errors with this new MuseSound. Particularly, the use of articulations for the open and closed hi-hats causes the kick drum to play the same note pattern in playback. Hopefully this is improved in a later update.
