I know this is a worn-out topic, but I am lost. I have a new DM10 X and have made my first pass at changing parameters on the instruments, but still cannot get the chokes to work. I know they are on the crash and ride, I have the two cables plugged into the rides 8/9 jacks. The ride is set to three-zones. All the cables are in the right places? What am I missing? I hit the cymbal and grab the rubber strip underneath and get nothing. What should my settings be - piezo or switch? Threshold or sensitivity? Turning on the choke? What? Please help! Thanks for any advice.
