Only 2 notes choked on 3 zone Yamaha cymbal

Postby jarosz » Sat Nov 11, 2017 10:46 pm

Hi!

I'm trying to setup Yamaha PCY-155 cymbal which is 3 zone and it works as expected, apart from one detail. It's configured as "Dual or 3 way Yamaha", but on choke it sends an aftertouch message only for two zones: the first (bow) and second (edge) or third (bell), depending on which has been hit last. So if I hit edge, bell and choke, only the bell is choked and if I hit bell, edge and choke, only the edge is choked.

I think MegaDrum should send a choke for three notes if the third zone is enabled.

As far as I know, any new sound from a cymbal must cancel any previous sound from the same cymbal so aftertouch needs to choke only the last sound.

Dmitri is correct, you need to configure the VST to suit.

koby drums - Triggera krigg/Bix - megadrum - Kontakt........... Samples from all and sundry.
