I think the way all comercial modules do the choke is this way: when they receive signal from piezo and a shortcut (or resistor value near 0, not infinite) from sleeve of jack, they trigger the edge sound, but when they see a shortcut lasting more than X miliseconds they trigger a choke event, independently from the piezo. Take into account that when you grab the cymbal to do the choke, you produce some (small) vibrations on the piezo, so I think it is not 0+1=choke.

Well, dmitri should through us some light in this matter

I promise to make the interval between chokes to less than 0.5s:)

Ok, but you have to strike the cymbal first in order to have something to choke.
So I think it would look something like this:
piezo/switch
1+0=Bow
1+1=Edge
1+ pause +1=choke

I don't know how long the pause should be.

slayer666, try choke with this firmware:

It controls choking along with piezo/switch dual zone handling.

So the cy5 is now "fully" supported?

Ooops, you lost me. I thought it was working fine for you except delays between chokes. What else?
