Steve,

OGD is right. The Alesis modules have only mono inputs; they do not 
offer choking or rims/edges as a matter of course.  However, the DM 
Pro allows a trick for choking a stereo cymbal, whereby a second 
input can be used to shut off the sound accessed in another input. I 
know that Visu-lite makes a cymbal to take advantage of it. 

I haven't been able to contribute much to the board for a while, but 
it's good to see it growing and active. Hello to all the regulars, 
and welcome to the newcomers.
