Ezdrummer3 has velocity knob that can adjust a single part of the kit or the whole thing. I use it pretty much on each recording. I find that unless I'm doing rock it sounds like it's hitting too hard ( I do mostly jazzy stuff).
Bumped it to 512 but it still crackles. I turned off all Fx on all plugins and recorded the keys to a track and managed to get a clean recording so I'll just use that.
I don't think I can use this plugin in Cakewalk. I've deleted it to see if it was the cause of the crackles and it appears to be. Too bad because it's a nice sounding free plugin. Anyone else tried it? I was able to use their Augmented Mallets without issue.
