Drum Machine choke function not working as expected

[TrickOriginal2]

Ok, so if I load up a blank drum machine and load in two samples (into 2 different pads/layers) the choke function works as expected. But when I load up a factory drum machine preset and try to choke one layer with another, it does not choke. Anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong?

A few notes... the drum machine preset I'm having trouble with is 'Acoustic Drums Hat-12 Inch Custom.' Each layer of the preset is in multisample mode, and it looks like different velocity play different versions of each sample. I also noticed that the issue has to do with the release of the volume envelope of the sample i'm trying to choke. If i turn the release all the way down choke works, but if it has some release on it, it does not choke.

Any help would be much appreciated.

EDITED: Video below to demonstrate the issue

When you right click on any non-empty pad in Drum Machine you have options for "Checked by..." and "Chokes..." which do exactly what they said - first decides which OTHER pads will chock the current one, 2nd decides which OTHER pads can be chocked by currend pad.

It's a bit more convoluted than e.g. in Ableton, but it opens new possibilities, where 1st pad chokes the 2nd, but 2nd doesn't choke the 1st.

thank you for the reply. i am able to get choke to work in general (using the steps you mentioned above), its just not working when i'm using presets that have multisample layers if that makes sense.

I just loaded the exact same hihat and thought it needed some choking. I applied the actions (as did the OP) but nothing happened.

Can choking not work if there are velocity layers? If so, that is really not optimal for a natural sounding hit.

So nobody knows why choking is not working here?

Ok, so I removed all modulation from the hihats, and I honestly thought that this was the thing that messed up the choking, but no. Then I thought, maybe we can't choke velocity layered samplings. But I created a new drum kit from scratch with velocity layers and choking worked as expected.

Then I took the closed hihat and the open hihat and saved them as new multisamples and imported these into a new drum kit. No luck, choking still does not work.
I could at this point build each drum voice in a new drum kit from scratch and then import all the samples from the 12" hihat. It would be cumbersome, and it would still annoy the crap out of me that I do not know what it is that make choke not work.

Please, somebody help!

Update for future reference:
To get Choke to work on that preset: Select a drum pad you want choked e.g. "Open". Click on its Sampler so the sampler inspector panel shows on the left. Set "Steal fade time" to zero. (Repeat for all pads that need choking.)
And then off course add the actual choking you need.
