Cymbal Choke: Roland TD-17KVX, EZDrummer2, & Ableton 10

[mewecoffee]

EDrums: Roland TD-17KVX

Drum VST: EZDrummer 2

DAW: Ableton Live Lite 10

When using EZDrummer2 by itself, I can get the Cymbal Choke to work by selecting Roland for the MIDI Device and MIDI Mapping

The problem is when I’m using EZDrummer2 within Ableton, I don’t see the settings toolbar, so I can’t set Roland as the MIDI Device. How can I view the settings toolbar when using the EZDrummer2 VST in Ableton? Or how can I set Roland as the MIDI Device? I just want the cymbal choking to work when using EZDrummer as a VST within Ableton.

I found this post, which makes it sound like the problem is with Ableton Live 10, so I would need to switch DAWs for this to work. Is that true?

I always hear Ableton doesn’t support aftertouch messages (choke). I don’t own the setup to prove it though. I’ve heard people saying Ableton 11 will which is right around the corner. I would contact their support directly if that’s something you’d be willing to wait for, since it is coming out sooner than later.

Thanks for the reply! I will submit a support request to Ableton about this.

Indeed, ableton doesn’t support Aftertouch, it never has. Cool for DJs, useless for edrums…..

You can have a choke translation in Ableton DrumRack and -Sampler using a software workaround or eDRUMin trigger2midi device. There are also detailed AL-multi-samples-A-kit-packs. But no chance using SD3. AFAIK version 11 won’t fix it (it’s on their to-do-list – place 9265 – since the Middle Ages).

Thanks for your reply! I switched the DAW to Reaper and that fixed it
