Title: Alesis Surge cymbals choke problem
Post by: Wilbo on October 15, 2021, 01:10:33 PM
I'v e always used Alesis Surge cymbals on my 2Box module, but I never got them to choke. Up to now this has not been a big problem for me, because I always used my kit and module for practice and not live, so I never spent time to solve the problem. But now I want to start using it live and it would be nice if I could use the choke function. I tried to play around with the trigger types for cymbals, but that didn't help. None of them get the Surges to choke. I tried various cables, so that's not the problem. And both of my crashes don't choke, so it's probably not due to the cymbals either. Is it even possible to get Surge cymbals to choke on a 2Box module?

Hi. As long as they have the switch between ring and sleeve of the trs contact, it should work.
Dont know the latest trig types, but there used to be CyEdg.
Ps. Only on module cymbal jack inputs.
Best, Deve.

I forgot to mention, they're old, metal Surge cymbals. Don't know if that makes any difference...
