    What specifically isn't working?

    I am trying to get the closed hi hat to choke the open hi hat. It winds up choking other cells, e.g., crash cymbal, etc. Called NI support , and the kid I talked to not only had an attitude, he was useless...

    Are those other cells in a different voice group?

    I'm having a similar problem where Cycle Round Robin isn't working as I expect. I'm sort of hoping these are related.

    If voices is set to 1, Mode shouldn't matter because it will kill off any note regardless of which it is. Still, Oldest probably makes the most sense. Excl should be off, although NI uses Excl to choke HHs in their factory kits. See Best of Absynth kit as an example.

    I'm not sure how Note Latch would apply, so it should probably be off. That's where the first click/note-on message starts the sample, and the second click/note-on message stops the sample. I assume that's really more for loops or other weird automation.

    So, even though you've probably said it... Your crash cymbal is definitely in a different voice group?

    Ok, so I just tried to follow the NI instructions you linked above. It doesn't work for me either. I'm guessing it's a bug.

    I posted too soon. I did get it to work by following the instructions. I can add different samples in other cells that aren't being affected by the choke, too.

    Ok- now it works- I set the Mode and Excl to Oldest & off like you suggested(thanks!). When I reduced the voices on the hi hats, the snare and crash were assigned the same value; hence the choke. NI or Macprovideo should really have a tutorial for this as it is very confusing.

    How can I choke my batt4 kits in entirety?
