I did some monkeying around in Ezdrummer 2 yesterday with my e-kit after having played in Addictive exclusively since I got the kit. I don't like the limitations (lack of settings for e-kit, no snare bottom level control, fixed effects, etc.), but the default velocity response is very good. Addictive 2 is way behind in the area of velocity response, even after somewhat dialing it in, where there are no settings for velocity response in Ezdrummer 2. It seems that Toontrack is doing some sort of velocity conditioning that isn't present in Addictive.
And after I realized what was going on with the hi-hat response (hard switching between closed, 1/4 open, etc.), I'm surprised by the hi-hat transmuting stuff, assuming there is a way to get a continuous transition rather than a hard switched transition. Addictive has nothing like this. As one example, in Addictive if you hit an open hit, wait some time, then close the pedal, the hat sound stays open. Or hit a closed hat in Addictive, and open the hat (waiting ANY amount of time), and the sound stays closed. And that is beside the point of there being a complete lack of hi-hat transition in Addictive.
