Choke and MIDI Aftertouch

[fretnoise]

Hi,

when running EZDrummer in Toontrack Solo, I can choke cymbals using aftertouch. But, when running EZDrummer in Studio One 2,
choking does not work (MIDI aftertouch messages being ignored?).

How can I get cymbal choking working running EZDrummer inside Studio One? Please don’t tell me to upgrade to SD, because I won’t. EZDrummer
does support chokes, as shown by Solo. So there must be a way, right?

Thanks
Andrej

I think that Studio One doesn’t support aftertouch but
you may want to check up on that yourself.

It does, as choking works with Addictive Drums. Does Solo translate Aftertouch to something else for EZD?

No,

it does not.
Could you please give us more details about your system?
Which version number is reported in the plugin interface?

BR,

I’m using EZDrummer 1.3.0 in Studio One 2.5.020189, OS X 10.8.4. I’m using Megadrum, which sends aftertouch
messages, and choking works fine when running EZD in Solo and Addictive Drums in Studio One.

Thanks

Any particular reason why you are not running the latest available version of EZdrummer (currently 1.3.3)?

None of the reported fixes for 1.3.3 seemed to apply to my issue. But, you’re right, I’ll try the latest version first and report back.

Whoa, and I thought I checked with AD. I just tried AD again and indeed, choking does not work, even if Studio One’s MIDI Monitor shows
“Poly Pressure”. So AD has the same problem, and my memory of testing this was incorrect.

I apologise for blaming EZD. And I’m grateful you guys make Solo available for free. Very much appreciated. Error was all mine.
