Only 2 notes choked on 3 zone Yamaha cymbal

Hi!

I'm trying to setup Yamaha PCY-155 cymbal which is 3 zone and it works as expected, apart from one detail. It's configured as "Dual or 3 way Yamaha", but on choke it sends an aftertouch message only for two zones: the first (bow) and second (edge) or third (bell), depending on which has been hit last. So if I hit edge, bell and choke, only the bell is choked and if I hit bell, edge and choke, only the edge is choked.

I think MegaDrum should send a choke for three notes if the third zone is enabled.

As far as I know, any new sound from a cymbal must cancel any previous sound from the same cymbal so aftertouch needs to choke only the last sound.

Dmitri is correct, you need to configure the VST to suit.
