I'm guessing that you're exactly right that a bunch more are broken now. I never noticed it before 3.5, but I tend to be really specific with my snare sounds and probably used only a handful (less than a dozen?) in my projects. The Sheishman snares are favorites, as are a few of the Signature snares and a smattering from the Modern Drummer Snare Select and the wooden and metal expansions. I have been posting to Sam at inMusic and sent him what I've posted here.The snare drag issue predates 3.5. I distinctly remember it, and when I briefly rolled back after 3.5 I confirmed it's not working on 3.4 (can't say which snares, I only checked a few, it's possible more are broken now).
FWIW I'm back on 3.5 because some of my old projects wouldn't load after rolling back, but they all do on 3.5 (this is a different experience to a lot of people).
I haven't updated the library though, and I'm feeling like I won't given how badly the rest of this process has gone.
AFAICT, the buzz/drag issue is related to velocity: if the velocity of the single cutoff stroke is below the velocity of the drag stroke, it does not cutoff the buzz. If the velocity of the single stroke rises above the velocity of the drag (by a certain amount?), the cutoff works. While, in a sense, this is perfectly in line with what a rudiment chart prescribes for the "correct" way to perform a roll (note the accent on the single stroke at the end on the chart), of course, this is not the way we always desire to perform the effect. So. I almost wonder if the "bug" wasn't something that was programmed that way. This is probably doubtful, but the thought had occurred to me. FWIW.
