Solved High Hat Chokes

Have Abbey Drums, forget which Abbey but loved the choke from striking a shut hat, or slightly open one.
Not seeing this with Abbey Road in the Maschine instrument. Great acoustic sounds, but really could use a choked hat.

Any secrets under the hood?

thanks

Thnx

 

I’m not getting what I expected from Choke, M+ style, but what a great way to chop up Audio.

‘Found 1 High Hat that was recorded short enough that when the sample plays out it doesn’t hang over too badly.

Are there any tricks for getting realistic high hat open/close sounds?
Hard to do Funk/Disco styles with samples hanging over.

‘Thanks

 

The Maschine Abbey kits are very simple compared to the real full instrument.

Maschine has Choke Groups in the Pad Mode menu, if both the closed hi-hat and the open one are in the same choke-group they will choke each other off. The Abbey kits already use this, both the closed HH and the Pedal HH will close the open one. If you're going for realism use the Pedal HH to close the open one (If no closed hh is right after it)

Another option is to put your Open Hat in ADSR Mode instead of One-Shot on sampler, you will have to hold the pad for it to play and once you let go it 'closes', this won't sound as natural as real drums because closing an open hat should make noise (pedal) but most people won't really notice it, well... maybe real drummers will.

If you would like to set an Open Hat to always have a set length then just set the sampler type to AHD and tweak the hold/decay to your liking, or edit the sample destructively in the Sampling Edit... Lots of options.

 

Thanks you again DOne.
Saved me a couple of days of head scratching.
I’m incapable of flexibility with myself.
I stay on something until I got it tackled before moving on.

Much appreciated.

 

No problem
There's other fancy shenanigans like setting velocity to change decay, or using decay modulation but those are usually for more experimental results.

 

M+ is like a synth, looking forward to learning more.
