Cymbal choke with key aftertouch events

[rin]

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.

I would think if you're using Alesis to trigger another vsti like SI Drums, it would also have to respond to aftertouch.  Cakewalk DOES support it but I doubt SI Drums does.  The words "channel" and "aftertouch" aren't in the SI manual.
