I verified this weekend that the cymbals only choked on zones 2,6,7 and then emailed yamaha support. Here is the response I got: Hi Rob, I have verified your findings and I will check with the product manager to see if it was intentional for the choke function to work only on inputs 2, 6 and 7. I will let you know as soon as I get an answer. Martin Arroyo Yamaha Tech Support OldGuyDrummer
