Hi,

So, does crossfading velocity mean that I can have 2 separate sounds 
on my cymbal, and depending on how hard I hit it, it will play a 
different sound?  Ie., can I set up my ride cymbal to play a 
light "pinging" sound if I play it lightly, and a "splash" sound 
when I smack it harder?

I'd love to know, as this is the main thing keeping me from 
purchasing one of these kits :)

Thanks!
