Hello everyone,
I’ve done a lot of searching both on this forum and others and have found the ‘definitive’ steps for setting up choking on roland drums and after following it to a T I have still not been able to get it to work in FL studio; attempting to choke the cymbal produces a second crash noise as opposed to a choke.

I can only get the choke to work in Reaper, which I only have an evaluation copy of, so I would prefer to use my version of FL studio but haven’t found a way to enable ‘aftertouch.’ Is this even possible or is FL studio just a poor DAW to use in conjuction with Superior Drummer? I’ve searched but there doesn’t appear to be a straightforward way to ‘turn on’ aftertouch.
I understand if this is more a FL-studio question than a SD question, but any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
J
This is for hi hat…
EZdrummer vst plugin while in flstudio, top left arrow thing, near the gear. Click and choose browse parameters.
This opens the midi sends in the plugins window thingy on the left that i usually keep closed, lol.
Scroll down to CC4, r clk and link controller, step on hi hat…
should be done… (it helped me a lot. now to adjust it more in not so easy drummer 3).
This was after doing this though, i am not sure if this matters, but im sharing it.
the one with the link CC to generic controller and put on mini channel 10, i did this also.
As for cymbal chokes, im still trying
Any luck on chokes yet? I posted a few months ago but still can’t get it figured out maybe see if you can get it to work from what they posted if you didn’t see this already
I found the fix for me. I saw that other post about messing with the aftertouch fl studio parameter but I didn’t have success with that. For me, I went to Superior drummer 3 – settings – midi-in/edrums and then scrolled down to cymbal “x” mute hit (it wasn’t mapped). In my case it was cymbal 2 mute hit, Note 94. Click on it, then on the right under mapping, click learn. Choke the cymbal ( I had to pinch around on it a few times for it to register it…) and it should map it. I found that it struggles to mute it if your stick is still resting on the cymbal when you pinch it. Hopefully this works for anyone else still trying to figure out this niche issue with no information about anywhere…
I had a similar experience with DAW-specific settings where something works perfectly in one program but behaves completely differently in another. It can be surprisingly frustrating when you’ve followed the setup instructions exactly.
From what you’ve described, it sounds like FL Studio may not be passing the required aftertouch information to Superior Drummer correctly rather than the Superior Drummer setup itself being wrong. I’d check the MIDI input and controller settings first and make sure the aftertouch data is actually being received.
It is interesting how small configuration differences can completely change the result. It reminds me of puzzle games like Letter Boxed simple on the surface, but getting the intended result often depends on understanding the underlying rules and making the right connections.
