* There is a separate note assignment that alternates between the left and right hand
samples of the center and halfway snare, center tom, and closed hi-hat articulations when
playing faster than a certain speed. This adds a realistic sound to faster playing, as a
drummer would also switch to using both hands at fast speeds.
** There is a separate note assignment for the open hi-hat that controls the amount of hi-hat
openness depending on the position of the Modwheel controller (CC1) or a hi-hat foot
controller (CC4). At the 0 position of the controller, the open hi-hat control key plays the
fully open hi-hat. As the controller sends higher values, playing the open Hi-hat control key
will trigger Hi-hat samples that gradually become more closed.
*** Cymbal choke samples are triggered by speci몭ic note assignments which play release
samples. When playing a cymbal sound, triggering the choke sample will play the sound of
a choked cymbal which relates to the current volume of the played cymbal. If no cymbal
sound is currently active, then the cymbal choke notes will do nothing. Choke samples can
also be triggered with electronic drum pads which support the choking feature.
