I’m using an Alesis Strike and the module has only a simple “Choke Sent” on or off… the MIDI note, etc are not editable so i have to rely on the midi monitor to figure out which note to map, or click the instrument, and select the Mute Tail articulation, and click Learn. Why isn’t it saved in the preset? That seems like an oversight.
Out of the box, or even with the Alesis Strike midi map presets loaded, the chokes do not work properly – they trigger a Mute Hit which is basically a choked crash articulation, so imagine if you will, a crash is being played …its ringing out… and then you do a choke hit… thats what happens.
So when you say “Why aren’t you simply using the AfterTouch” – that’s why. Evidently, the Strike module doesn’t behave that way.
