On all Single Hits patches, we have recorded both regular samples as well as damped samples. The TrueDamping feature allows you to create realistic percussion lines.
It is also possible to switch between recorded velocity layers instead of morphing between them, harnessing the power of having a multitude of recorded layers and avoiding phasing.
