Polyaft choke with velocity range part 2๐Ÿ”—

Advancing previous cymbal choke test, here's an example to set the release-triggered with multi-velocities samples. The test file for this is "Polyaft choke velocity.sfz", consist of 2 keyswitches example. One using Left Pedal for easy testing just within sforzando's GUI and the second is using Polyphonic Aftertouch CC130 for edrums mapping mode.

First, notice that lovel and hivel are not working for this kind of CC usage. So for that replacement, we use locc131 and hicc131 which are the extended CC for note-on velocity and they will works. The release-trigger samples used are snare, kick and choke for easier sound-identifying.

Performing this test is very simple, just like this :

  • Soft hit, velocity 0 - 42 : the choke sound is snare sample
  • Medium hit, velocity 43 - 84 : the choke sound is kick sample
  • Hard hit, velocity 85 - 126 : the choke sound is choke sample

Last notice, is that the choke highest velocity is set to 126 to prevent it sounding without the crash hit first.

  • An additional workaround can be made to solve the "no choke at velocity 127" issue by adding a *silence region to that vel-range with locc131=127 hicc131=127
