Snare choke

[jon]

Hi all.  Sorry if this has been discussed before (I know this has in relation to hi hat and cymbal choking) but I couldn’t find a forum search facility for my question which is:  Is it possible to have the closed roll articulation choked by the main snare so as to create drags?  I have to manually write a drag which takes time, particularly if my beat is using a lot of ghost snare drags or doubles.  Hope this makes sense.  Cheers Jon

Hi,

I would simply select the Roll Articulation, Enable the Envelope and Offset, select the Release and change the Trigger to Note Off, then adjust the Release Time to something that feels reasonable when you release the key. This lets you determine the length of the roll by how long you press the key. Another way is to set the Release Trigger to Aftertouch.

BR,
John
