Eurika I have found a solution! Steve Slate drums has a free plugin that supports aftertouch events! https://stevenslatedrums.com/ssd5/#SSD5FREE I will also attach my kit preset and mappings for Cakewalk for the Alesis Surge Mesh SE kit. Thanks for everyone's help! basic-kit-with-choke.ssd5kit alesis surge mesh se.iom

I downloaded MidiViewer and captured my aftertouch events from the kit in there too, so I know it's working from the kit to the PC. Far as I can tell, it's the SI-Drum VST that comes with CbB that is holding the aftertouch events up. The kit is transmitting them to the DAW, but they're not getting translated into SI-Drums. Don't see a way in drum map manager to add aftertouch events, so I think I'm screwed. BFD Player works with the aftertouch events, so I guess I'll use that. Shame the SI-Drums doesn't support it, ya get what ya pay for I guess, lol.

Yes, both of those are checked.

Appreciate all the help I've gotten here. I'll play around with CbB and see what I can figure out.

This is the MIDI map from the manual. So since there is no MIDI note for the choke feature specifically, it can't be mapped in the drum map, is that correct? There's no way to map a "KeyAft" event to a sound or velocity change? Hard to believe Cakewalk wouldn't support this, might have to try a different DAW...

This makes no sense to me, lol. I don't know how to assign things to a key...unless you're talking about drum maps? In the drum map I don't see a way to have "KeyAft" events as the "In Note/Out Note". I also don't know how to do zero-velocity events in real time.

Yeah I'm trying to choke crash cymbals with a pinch of the pad, this is not hi-hat related. So if I understand right, the kit has to support aftertouch events, the DAW has too, and the VST plugin has too. Any recommendations on drum plugins that do support aftertouch? If I plug my kit into my BFD Player app the cymbal choke functions work.

First ever post...be gentle lol I have an Alesis Surge Mesh SE drum kit, connected to my laptop via USB. The kit is working fine in Cakewalk, except for the cymbal choke function. I can see aftertouch events firing when I press the cymbal edge, but I cannot figure out how to get those events to actually choke the cymbals. I have a drum map set up with each piece of the electric kit set to it's own channel for EQ.
