These are similar, although not as noticeable as the ones I'm referring to. Mine are always on E2 at louder velocities, and always right at the start of the note. I'm not at home, but I'll try to record some examples this evening and post.
Okay, here's a simple test example. This is with the standard load of the Hammer mic set, but set to 36 velocity layers, full dynamics, and reverb off.
The first set of notes is 36 notes of E2 increasing velocity 92 to 127.
- To my ear, the last 10 notes (i.e., velocities 108 to 127) of the E2 demonstrate the knock, with the last 5 (i.e., velocities 123 to 127) overly obnoxious.
- This is just a control. I don't hear this knock at all on F2.
- This is there just to contrast with knock and without knock based on velocity. No knock on F2; knock on E2 at 127, but not at 107.
By the way, ignore the link name, and at least one of my initial comments that keeps showing up regarding the note names. The notes are E2 and F2.
