SD3 Request-Global Aftertouch On/Off (Cymbal Choke)

[David Bade]

It appears that the only way to turn off/adjust the cymbal chokes (ie turn off aftertouch) is within each individual kit/cymbal. 🙁
For a lot of keyboards Aftertouch is only scalable, and you’re not able to turn it On/Off ( ie Korg)
Right now I either need to edit every single kit/cymbal to not trigger the choke, or play on a non-aftertouch 88-note weighted piano keyboard (not fun…)

It would be MUCH more useful for folks playing/programming with a keyboard to have an second option to globally turn on/off all Aftertouch on cymbals for the Mute Tail Trigger.

Thanks much.

This sounds like a useful feature. I haven’t experienced the problem myself, even though my MIDI keyboard uses aftertouch. I’ll take a note of it.
To make it a bit easier, you can shift + click to select all cymbals (in the selected instruments list above the kit), and then disable Aftertouch. By doing this, you don’t have to do it once for each instrument…

Thanks for the feedback!

If you are using Windows you can use MIDI-OX (http://www.midiox.com) to filter aftertouch events.

Great tip!
I forgot to mention, that most DAWs (Cubase, Logic etc) has filters, that enables you to globally disable Aftertouch messages…

I would like to echo this request. My primary DAW is Ableton, which does not offer native MIDI filtering.
