cymbal choke

[psychotoddler]

Is there a midi note you can add to choke a cymbal, or does the drum patch have to have a special note for a choked cymbal? Using superior drummer with PT 8.

I recall using the same cymbal note with a velocity of 0 or 1 or something like that.

It's weird. If I use the pencil tool to draw in the cymbal, sometimes it's muted and sometimes it isn't. Also if I click several times on the piano note in the midi editor, sometimes it mutes and sometimes it doesn't.

could it be not having polyphonic aftertouch checked in midi setup?
with my td 20 i get choke sounds in audio but no choke data unless, polyphonic aftertouch is enabled

Can you explain how aftertouch works? I think I must have it enabled, because I got some ghosted snare notes (unintentionally, but still cool) in another song I did.

Still, how would you pencil in a choked cymbal?
