The “Choke/Mute Trigger” property box doesn’t appear for the hihat since it requires a mute tail articulation

Understood – SD development team – how about adding this so us VH14 owners can use this feature?

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.3.6
Operating system: macOS Monterey (12)

Hi,

I am not in the Development team but I would be surprised if Mute Tails crossfades could be added the same way for Hi-Hats as they work for Cymbals, since that would require them being recorded. The Hi-Hat transmuting works by using the CC data from the foot controller to control the openness but all those stages are recorded.

That’s why I suggested using Aftertouch for the Envelope release, provided your HH controller and module sends this when you hand choke it.

Yes, the TD-27 sends aftertouch for the hihat touch choke. Can you elaborate on how to achieve it? I tried to see how the ride choke was triggered when touched but I don’t see anything special on the midi processed by SD3.

I select the Hi-Hat, Enable the Envelope and Offset Property Box, select the ‘Release’, change Trigger to ‘Aftertouch’ then adjust Release Time and Slope to taste.

Note that I haven’t tried this in an actual playing scenario, so I don’t know if you have to e.g. Disable the Envelope for the Closed Pedal. I am not sure exactly what can trigger the Aftertouch sent.

Could it be that the aftertouch outputs at a velocity too low to trigger?

Go to Midi in/Edrums settings, select the preset for your kit, and then below in the “edit” menu, check “Single choke Mode” and “lower choke threshold”, make sure to save the preset.
