▪
If the pad is set to Master (default setting) it will kill the Sounds of other pads in the same
Choke group.
▪
If the pad is set to Slave it won’t kill any other pad of the Choke group — but be killed by
pads set to Master within the same group.
You may set more than one pad as Master or Slave within the same group.
Choke groups affect not only the notes you play on the pads and the notes triggered by
the Patterns, but also the MIDI notes controlling your Sounds.
You can select multiple Sounds and quickly assign them all to a particular Choke group
at once!
To assign the selected Sound slot(s) to a Choke group and set its/their Choke mode (Master or
Slave), do the following:
1.
Click the Pad View button above the Sound List in the Pattern Editor to show the Pad
view for the focused Group.
2. In the Choke section click the Group value and select the desired group 1 – 8 from the list
or choose None (default setting) to remove the Sound from its current Choke group.
3. In the same Choke section click the Mode value ( Master or Slave ) to switch the Sound
between Master (default setting) and Slave mode.
4. Repeat the steps above to assign other pads to the same Choke group.
The Hi-hat is an ideal candidate for making use of Choke groups! See
