I used the search button, tried the envolope method=failed tried midi learn button=failed, tried resetting the midi notes in the module=failed got any other methods
Yeah, I never could get it to work either. I tried cleaning up the channel pressure messages that my controller was accidently sending out and maybe that help a bit, but i don’t think I really noticed a difference.
I forgot to ad I’m using a TD-6V kit which by itself I have cymbal chokes. I had to move some notes around in order to get the ride cymbal edge and bell in oder for Surperior to work correctly. Figured maybe I need to do the same with cymbal chokes.
There is no choke solving needed in any updates, never has been.
The most common factor if it isn’t working is that the user’s DAW’s filter out the Aftertouch/Channel Pressure messages sent from the E-drum module.
Fire up your DAW and check this, then start Superior 2.1 and select the E-drum MIDI preset and choke away!
That is the operating system. The DAW or host the John is asking about would be Toontrack Solo, Cubase, Sonar, Reaper, Pro Tools, Logic, etc. The program that you load Superior in.
are you sure are running the latest versions of Toontrack solo and Superior 2 (2.1.1)?
If you are, simply selecting the ‘E-drums’ MIDI preset in ‘LOAD/SAVE > MIDI > Note Mapping > E-drums’ in Superior 2 should give you a base with Chokes enabled.
You can check by selecting (right-click) a Crash and see if the Envelope is ON and set to Aftertouch.
If all above is checked and you still do not get Chokes, I’d check the module to see if it filters outgoing messages in any way.
I’m assuming that’s it’s the lasest version. I just bought it within the past month. I did download the update file for good measure. I’m sure it’s on my end I’m not doing something right. I have chokes in my ezdrummer engine just don’t have them in my S2.0 engine, I give your suggestion a try when I get back home and post back later how it went.
Thanks for your help John much apprcieated.
Okay I tried exactly what you posted here still no luck. I not sure what you mean about the filtering part. I’m assuming adjusting the midi paramaters in my TD-6V module which I did before, and never got the cymbals to choke on my Avatar kit. What’s strange to me is my ezdrummer pop/rock kit has chokes so does Nashville and DFH which I’m using the S20 engine to load them in, but when I go to Avatar kit which BTW is my faorite kit. I don’t have cymbal chokes.
What am I doing wrong?
Never mind you guys added a new up date amd that solve the problem. I had down loaded the last update but you TT folks added another since my purchase a couple of weeks ago. Boy do I feel like a mose
right, to clarify – the latest Avatar update has pre-dialed release values for the cymbals (including Ride ‘Punch’ if fact). If you were not having any luck before this would be because you did not alter the envelope.
In other words – just turning the envelope section ‘ON’ is not enough, you also have to instruct the software how the tail should be affected. Although as I said the latest update should be plug and play – but your idea of a cymbal choke (in term of length) may not that ours so I strongly recommend you check the manual for a full understanding of the envelope control.
I built my first dyi electronic kit from a pearl rythme traveler kit, it works great with the td-3 module. So i recently purchased a alesis I/O superior 2.0 and the metal foundry and a tascam MK 144 II for the external sound card and latency. For cymbals i have 2 roland cy-8s and 2 roland cy-6s. for the hihat im using a pd-8 pad. I gotta admit this has not been a very easy transition. I click the learn fucntion and set my first cymbal as a crash when i try to choke the cymbal i end up getting a bass drum hit and then my bass drum switches to a cymbal, I have tried many different setting and i am having absolutely NO LUCK?????? Does any one have any saved setting for there DYI kits that are coned piezzo for the head and a piezo for the rim?? I try to set up my kit and select tom 1 and hit learn then i try to set the rim following the same way and it doesnt stay to a splash ive selected, i end up having tom 1 and 2 being the same!! Im just completeyl lost here!!! Would greatly appreciate any tips someone has?? Would a PD-8 for a hi hat give me dual triggering there??? and would my roland cy-8s and cy-6s have dual triggering and choke capabilities as well????? Also when i try to set up my cymbal chokes i get a bass drum hit and i have my control set to to default would this be affectin it? I am very new to superior drummer and welcome as much help as i can possibly get!! Also any alesis i/o tips would be great too thxs
