Ok guys, I have been testing the free version and I have to say I really like the sounds. At least as good as SD3 (which also sounds great, but misses something at the higher velocities for me). Especially the dynamics are great! What I don't like:
-No built in way for CC curves. To me that's a no go, because out of the box the tracking with a Roland VH-11 is not good. To me that's a weak spot for all VSTs. I still have to find a VST-drum that PLAYS as well as the TD-30.
-mapping is a pain, wish they put the note names in there. As of now you have to go back and forth between mapping and construct, to see how SSD5 is mapped.
-I don't like how the half open articulations blend. Whatever magic they did with the playback engine (which is great) on drum heads, I wish they could do something similar for the HH
-No rim shots on toms
-I don't mind the 90ies look of the GUI, but I would like to see the whole mixer without scrolling
If any of the edrummers have a trick for the CC4 HH issue, I would really like to hear it
(I know Scripter can remap incoming MIDI in Logic, but it's not exactly easy to use)
