Cymbal with choke issue

Hi,
I'm trying to add the choke function to my DIY cymbal but I can not make it work properly. I read some threads in the forum but none of them addresses my problem.
I add a capture of the midi to see the behavior.
For the connection of the sensor I used the two attached diagrams, obtaining the same result.

What specifically doesn't work? It seems to be sending aftertouch messages so apparently it's working.

The problem is that every time the choke circuit is closed, it sends two signals, one with 0 and another with 54, the signal of the head / bow, so in the superior drummer when the choke is activate, head / bow sounds.

Excuse my English :S

Is Superior Drummer configured to choke with aftertouch messages? Maybe there's a setting to change that, because if it's playing the note instead of choking it's probably because it's not interpreting the aftertouch message as a choke signal.

The aftertouch messages are for Notes 0 and 54 are. 54 is the Head Note. Since you did not show 3rd zone config, I'm guessing it is set 0. Ether set it equal to Rim zone Note (52) if it is a dual zone cymbal or set it to a desired Note number for the 3rd zone if it is a 3 zone cymbal.

Thanks for your comments, for hours I have been thinking that it was a problem of wiring or the MD Manager.
Finally I have been able to configure it in Addictive Drums and it works perfectly.
