Hi James. Somebody a while ago was creating, or thinking of creating, 
an instrument definition for the DTXpress on Cubase. Oh well. I don't 
use Cubase, but I wonder if it has some sort of special MIDI note 
on/off function for choking, or a way to set up a choking group--
called Alternate Group on the DTXpress--for a selection of notes that 
stop when another begins. I vaguely recall that Cubase handles cymbal 
chokes with two separate notes, although I might be confusing it with 
BFD. Anyway, maybe you can experiment with these funtions until a 
definitive  answer turns up.
