In dire need of some MIDI help!!!

[the_lost]

Hello all.
I am having some problems. First off, let me give a quick explanation of what I'm doing.

I have a PC based workstation using Sonar 2.0. I am currently tracking drums; however, I am tracking them via MIDI. I have successfully recorded a drummer who has played his track on my Roland V-Session drumkit in real time. My drum brain is the Roland TD-10. I am monitoring the session via MIDI out of my AP2496 and back into the drum brain. From there, it's stereo out into my monitoring board.

Anyhow, in Sonar's Piano View, I see the performance he has just tracked. Everything sounds great. It recorded everything perfectly, including all the hi-hat controller information. Well then what's the problem then you ask? Well... I can't seem to get the cymbol chokes he performed within the track to record!?! What type of MIDI message does cymbol chokes on a trigger transmit??

Anyone have any insight so I can get this project rolling???

Thanks all
cheers

first off, make sure you don't have any filtering on the drum track - the chokes may have been filtered out.

second - check the manual, it should tell you if the cymbal choke uses a specific midi message or if it's just another midi note that triggers the 'choke' sound.

Thanks for your reply Boombastique.

Where would I look to see if I have any filtering going on? You're talking about within Sonar, correct?

Second, the Roland manual doesn't say $hit about choking or what type of message it transmits...

thanks for your help!!

nevermind. I got it working. I was filtering out MIDI key/channel aftertouch transmissions.

Thanks
