Are the pedals, drums and all components velocity sensitive?
Yes, they are.
The included
samples aren't too bad. The only two gripes I have with
it is that:
1. velocity is a little touchy, and definitely isn't linear.
What do you mean by "isn't linear"? It sounds like you mean
"harder"
doesn't mean "louder", or did I miss the point?
No, harder definitely does mean louder. What I meant was that if you
tap lightly on the snare, for example, and get progressively louder,
it seems that at a certain point it gets very loud very quickly. But
this would be less noticable on some sample libraries, I'm sure.
There is likely a way to compensate for this, with some kind of nifty
MIDI velocity curve program.
2. there is a bit of "bleed through"
(e.g. if you hit the snare hard,
you may heard a little cymbals)
Would this effect recording in a sequencer like Muse while triggering a
sampler like Specimen? Would you get a clean recording and clean
triggering of sounds in that set-up?
If you were pounding away, some of the other pads may trigger
(although very quietly), so there would be MIDI data sent as the
result of this.
