Yes, indeed! A huge aspect of "replicating" real instruments is to
consider how the real instrument is played.
In particular, when playing percussion samples, to play them with the
"two finger" method imparts a visceral feeling to the music.
Quantized/programmed material produces a more "objective/mechanized"
effect. I use whatever approach gives me the effect that I want.
