Single Pecussionist playing single istrument?

I have a song where I want just Guitar, Vocal, and Congas for the first 8 bars - and again near the end.

Is there a way to Solo one Percussion instrument, say Conga playing a Tumbao? I'm OK with a separate instance just for that.

Also, when building a song out of parts, can different "Power" settings be used for each part? So far, it looks like "Power" is a global setting.

It would be really nice to be able to automate the "Power" setting. This would allow you to build-up the song AND to drop down to that quiet final verse before the thunderous ending.

Thanks for a Fabulous Program.

Hmm... I would build a specific Conga Kit for that, muting all the other instruments.

I would load the Tumbao style and set the bongo slider, shaker slider etc to zero so only the congas play.

Power affects Jamcussion and Jamstix the same way at the moment.

You can automate power via VST automation or by right-clicking on the power knob and assigning a MIDI controller.
