Description

Describe the bug
The samples for different dynamic levels on the Muse Sounds snare drum are wildly different, even going as far as to sound mostly like a tom at piano.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a score with Muse Sounds snare drum
  2. Create a line of notes with a crescendo/decrescendo, the bigger dynamic range the better
  3. Hear very definite lines in the sound where it switches sample

Expected behavior
The snare drum samples should all sound like they come from the same snare drum, and it shouldn't be as obvious when it switches samples.

Platform information

  • OS: [e.g. macOS, Windows, Linux]

Additional context
The snare drum at piano has a very definite pitch, which clashes a lot with pitched instruments (sounds like the snare drum is a drone on a specific pitch, which doesn't necessarily fit the key)
