Not seeing any info on utilizing the “choke” function in the V2 manual. Anybody deal with this?

Hi @buckshot!

It’s funny, the team just added that to our user-manual-todo-list on Friday. I’ll reply to this thread once the article is added (should be soonish), but here’s a super quick rundown of how to choke in V2.

1. In many cases you’ll just want to enable `Retrig` on whichever module within the layer that you have modules that you want to choke each other. In the screenshot below, `chord 1` and `chord 2` modules are assigned to the drum head and drum rim, respectively, and since `Retrig` is turned on, they will naturally choke each other. This will work in any controller, not just `Drum Pads`.

1. Sometimes you might want to have a zone from a different drum choke things. In that case you could just assign a velocity controller from that drum zone to the stop button of a module. I think it’s a bit cleaner, visually speaking, to make the assignment on a macro before assigning the macro to a stop button (see screenshot below).

1. Finally, you can access V1 style choke groups by right clicking on the stop button to _create/add a module_ to a choke group. With V2, the use cases for this are diminished, but there _are some_ conceivable use cases. For example: maybe you have a something buried deep inside a sequencer on one layer that you want to choke something on another layer (see screenshot below).

Hope this was helpful!

Hi again!

We just added a new manual article called “How To Choke Sounds”.

Here it is: [How to Choke Sounds | Sensory Percussion 2 Help](https://help.sunhou.se/v2/how-to/choke-sounds)
