how to set-up hi-hat and symbol choke on ALESIS DM-10 studio module in SD 3?

[anders Marcusson]

Hi,
1) How to set the range of fully open to closed in SD3 using e-drum alexis dm10 module? What i Want is to set the fully open hi-hit som somewhat more closed.

2) the Alesis kit has a cymbal with choke function. When I activate the choke, he sound triggered is a hit and a choke. Very unnatural. This is not the case when you are using the DM10 module sounds. How to get a more natural choke with SD3?

Best regards
Andy

I have the same issue specifically with the Cymbal choke function. I am using the Alesis Strike Pro kit with SD3. I believe Alesis uses “Note On or OFF vs Aftertouch, I could be wrong but when I squeeze the edge of the cymbal, it merely sounds like a strike followed by the choke sound which is very unnatural. Has any truly figured out how to choke using this configuration?

Hi Andy,

using the Alesis E-drums Preset should set most of your kit up and then you adjust the curve in the MIDI In/E-drums settings.
AFAIK, the DM-10 sends Aftertouch.

Roberto, could you please check that your module sends AfterTouch by checking the MIDI Monitor in SD3 when you’re pinching?

BR,
John

I’m using an Alesis Trigger IO and had to map the choke trigger on cymbals to the ‘Mute Tail’ sample on SD3. I had to dig around in the MIDI mapping box to find the Mute Tail. It’s not the same as Mute Hit, which is an additional strike.
