Cymbal grab

[Bowtner]

Hi is there a key to stop cymbals (mainly the crash) from continuing to ring beyond a 1/4 note once struck?

actually, I don't think there is in Dtab V1.02   But there should be.

Is it planned to have the grab /choke option put in there?

[kevin]

Yep...  Dunno when i'll be able to get to it though. Might not be for a little while.

Been looking into this today,  only to discover a previously implemented solution commented out.   

You see there's a bit of a gotcha, namely being that the cymbal sounds don't seem to respond to note off messages.  Cymbal sounds stack on top of each other under MIDI, allowing them to overlap.   Calling note off does nothing.  No idea how to solve this.
