MDL Cymbal Line Effects
Overall, I've been very impressed with the sounds of MDL. That being said, the cymbal line effects leave a bit to be desired. Is there a way to make the sound from a sustaining hit, like a crash or sizzle, cut off with a stopped hit, like a choke or crunch? Will some of the other older sounds like crash-chokes be implemented soon?

The battery is constructed from samples we recorded ourselves. Cymbals for this first release have been constructed from a pre-existing sample library. I believe the best solution is for us to create our own sample recordings of the exact techniques. I hope to be able to do this in a MDL update at some point in the near future.

Alot of Hal Leonard Marching Band arrangements have an interesting notation in the Cymbal part where there's 4 pairs of Cymbals in different sizes & each note head for each of the 4 pairs is on a different space of the staff, & there's also hidden hi-hat notes, etc. I wanted to be able to type all these hal leonard marching band arrangements onto musescore so I could listen to them, isolate each part, & also add in parts that double other instruments too.
For a sizz-suck this is what I do. Place a high hat AND a sizzle in both note spaces, and then tie the high hats together. Now make the first high hat invisible and put a staccato on the second sizzle and then make the second sizzle and high hat invisible. This is a lot but it does produce a decent sizz-suck sound.

Also there's some extra hidden notes like Hihats for all of them, I think it would be cool to be able to use all the notes that I can easily play on the Piano Keyboard since there's literally many hidden notes

Thanks Daniel, those updates will really allow me to access those Hi-Hat notes which I love alot. Those Buzz Roll Tremolo Symbols from the Tremolo Palette could use some updates too.

Yeah all the MDL instruments need updates
It's 2024 & I was hoping that the Musesounds Marching Percussion instruments would have the Quadruple Marching Cymbal Instrument so we could re-create some of these parts, like this one for example.
