I don't notice most the issues everyone else seems to have - it has worked perfectly since I first bought it. Only issue I seem to notice is that battery is really quiet (like near inaudible at piano). Accents are really the only things that can be heard at lower dynamics. Other than that, this a great software!

This is way to buggy to even be released. You can't even change noteheads for things like cross sticks and shots. If you do, it defaults to a regular hit. This needs major improvement.

This is a must need for anyone writing for the marching arts! The recent updates helped a lot of the mapping and playback, and I'm sure that future updates will make it even better! One thing I've noticed is that (as of 9/11/24) buzz rolls don't play back when 'edge' is selected. It does when it's applied to a long duration note, but not when it's a short note (like a quarter or eighth). That's my only complaint, and beside that, this pack is fantastic!

Great things here, but really annoying bugs that hinder the experience. -Accents are barely noticeable -If you write a sticking on a snare ping shot, it just plays a normal note. Also no stick click? -Some tenor voicings are inaccurate, more so with sticking (ie R on low spock plays drum 1) -New update made bass playback worse. When notating, it plays back correctly but in actual playback most of the drums just stick to one voice. After a few more updates, I think this'll be absolutely fantastic

(v0.9.3) FULLY READ BEFORE BUYING!! This is undoubtedly virtual drumline, but you're definitely only getting a $10 version of it... (click to expand the textbox) This ONLY includes the SnareLine, Solo Snare, TenorLine, Solo Tenors, BassLine, CymbalLine, Metronome, Vocals, Police Whistle and Drum Major instruments from the VDL library, and doesn't include any of the VDL Mallet or Concert Percussion instruments. But of the included battery instruments, nothing was skimped out on. By default, playback for sticking is AutoRL, but annotating notes with "r" or "l" using either the Lyric or Sticking text tools will tell the playback engine to use the Right and Left samples (MuseDrumline also does this). The Kontakt modwheel and keyswitch functionalities from VDL such as Snare playing geography/zones and alternative Bass/Tenor implements have also been moved to the instruments' MIDI maps and Sound Flags specified with the Staff Text tool. Biggest problem: MIDI Velocities. At any given dynamic level, accents have almost no effect at all. I know you can change a single note's velocity in the Properties menu, but I think that's unacceptable to expect the User to have to do that to every single accented note. When using VDL from the Kontakt VST, the accents are great. I even have a couple of videos on Youtube showing this exactly. Until this is fixed, I will still continue using the full version of VDL through my Kontakt VST when I need to generate audio of my battery writing, which is a shame, because the mappings don't translate nicely, and Musescore's version VDL is so much easier to use than Kontakt Videos showing accent playback MuseVDL - https://youtu.be/B9VmI347Vsc VDL (Kontakt) - https://youtu.be/gFbqLhIBozM (If you can't copy the links to a browser, search "simonfromband" on Youtube, and they're the two most recently uploaded videos on that channel)

Virtual Drumline sounds are amazing and I'm so happy that I don't have to pay a fortune to use them!
