Description
Virtual Drumline is programmed with virtually all the articulations and playing techniques imaginable in the modern marching percussion arena. Enhanced multi-sampled velocity layers, playing zone features, multiple implement selections, rolls, solos vs. sections, and automatic right/left hand alternations are but a few of the powerful features programmed into the VDL instrument collection. This exclusive Muse Sounds Edition takes this further, with this special edition crafted for deep integration with MuseScore Studio.
The collection includes everything from the sharp snap of a marching snare to the resonant boom of bass drums and the rich, complex tones of marching tenors. It even goes beyond the basics, offering unique elements like showstyle single tenors, cymbals, drum major commands, and vocal shouts, all meticulously sampled to add an extra layer of realism to your work. This edition has been specially designed for MuseScore Studio, taking full advantage of the Muse Sounds Engine and MuseScore’s latest features, ensuring that each sound integrates seamlessly into your compositions.
For those who demand both precision and authenticity, Virtual Drumline, Muse Sounds Edition, is an invaluable resource. It’s more than just a collection of sounds; it’s a powerful tool that helps bring your musical ideas to life, making it a must-have for anyone serious about writing for drumlines.
So in the instrument list it includes single tenors, but when I go into the mixer I don't see them?
I have had this plug-in since December of 2024 and since then I have seen countless BAD REVIEWS on many issues but none of those have happened to me. It's definitely user error from others lol. Yes you can change noteheads without having the sound changed if you do it right. You can edit what line or space of the staff you want it to be in. Edit and Save a drumset program for crying outloud. If you load the piece you are working on and it's weird just don't freak out and load your stuff correctly. lol. chill. If you want your sounds from this MUSE-VDL I think you have to be connected to the internet so that it can pull the sounds from MUSEHUB. If you aren't connected to the internet they probably(maybe) won't load. But it has worked for me on and off a network. People need to chill
Purchased Virtual Drumline but it is not making it available in MuseScore Mixer at all
They fixed the issues that they had made within the last couple of updates but something I've noticed is how muddy the quads are now. They claimed to have fixed the round robin but it seems like it has gotten worse especially on triplet roll passages. On top of that, the two spock drums sound virtually identical and the two shot notes only play one sound. Hope this gets resolved soon since a lot of other things had already been addressed.
Worked for the first week now the sounds wont load/arent recognized by musescore
bro my snare sounds weird now with double accents it don't sound good, what happened muse hub
The "improvements" that were made were obviously NOT improvements.
This is a must have if your getting the VDL percussion pack!
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.
