Hi,

which library are you using and which note number are you triggering?

John,

I am using the NY kit (Avatar I believe). This happens with any of my muted/choked cymbals so I don’t remember which note exactly (I’ve tested it with all of the cymbals). If I use the key editor and actually click on the piano key it plays the muted cymbal however if I place a midi note in the editor it doesn’t play the muted cymbal it just plays the standard non-muted sound albeit the sound is a little shorter than the actual main cymbal sound but it is far from muted/choked. You can see a video of it here (turn up the volume if you watch it): http://youtu.be/Kpt9yVP0WRg

If you’re using the Mute cymbal articulation, then the velocity of the note determines how long the tail is before the mute. Max velocity = shortest tail. What velocity are you using to trigger the mute articulation?

Scott that’s exactly what the problem was. I had no idea velocity affected the tail. When I increase the velocity to 127 it is a full mute/choke. I guess when I add a note it defaults to a lower velocity but when I press on the key it’s at 100%.

Nobody could answer this for me. haha.

Maybe not, but you answered it for ME – had the same confounding situation.
A double miracle, actually – I think this is the first time a search has zeroed in on the perfect relevant answer.
So thank you both!

All the best~ 3G
