Hello Everyone,
I am working on a track in SD3. There is a particular cymbal note which for some reason plays a choked hit, even though the note is in the plain ‘cymbal 1’ lane.
All of the other cymbal hits in the project are fine, and sound great. For some reason though, this one note just will not cooperate. I have tried increasing the note length, no luck.
I have been working in SD3 for about a month so I don’t understand most of it and I’m just untangling it one issue at a time. What am I missing?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Hi there,
In the drum builder can you tell us what the actual cymbal is.
Is this the core SD3 Library ?
Which preset are you using?

In addition to Brad’s suggestions, check both your Choke/Mute Trigger property box settings as well as the Choke All (AT) in the grid editor.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I updated to 3.4.0, still no luck.
This is the Core Library only, I don’t own any expansions.
The cymbal is the 20″ Paiste 2002 Medium Crash/Ride
I don’t remember the name of the preset, I changed a couple of toms and saved it as a custom preset some time ago. I do know that the preset
contained Pearl Masterworks toms, a 20×22 Ayotte Classic bass drum, and the 6.5×14 Tama Bell Brass snare.
Hi, thanks for replying.
Where is the Choke/Mute Trigger property box located? Or the Choke All (AT) setting? I couldn’t find either of them. What does the choke all function do exactly? What is it for?

Hi there,
In the properties for that instrument/cymbal can you make sure the Crash Articulation is active/selected/highlighted?

Hi,
you can see that all Cymbals have an individual ‘Choke (stop playing)’ lane in the Grid Editor and it chokes the individual Cymbals. There is also a ‘Choke All’ lane at the bottom, where ‘Velocity’ is displayed by Default. Putting in a message here Chokes all Cymbals at the same time.

Hi all,
Turns out it was the Choke All lane all along. There were quite a few messages in that lane and I removed them. Voila, that did it.
I didn’t intentionally put those messages there, it must have happened when I recorded the drum track initially.
Anyhow, thanks to everyone for your help, I learned yet another thing SD3 can do.
if you were using a MIDI device with after touch, it might have happened by pressing down hard as you hit the note. The t happens.
