SSD users, cymbal chokes?

[AdamWathan]

Anyone else find the cymbal chokes in SSD to sound REALLY weak compared to the actual cymbal hits? It seems even on the highest velocity setting the cymbal choke samples sound like someone smacking the top of the cymbal with the tip of the stick and grabbing it instead of crashing on it and grabbing it. Am I doing something wrong? It occurred to me this morning that maybe the chokes are meant to be added after a crash hit just to silence it, the way it would trigger the choke when playing an electronic kit... I'm at work now so I can't play around with it but is that the way it's meant to be used?

Yes, the chokes should CUT OFF the actual crash it, they are meant to work together, they are the last part of the mute..

Interesting concept! I was thinking the same question but it totally makes sense now
