Jamstix3 and Ocean Way Drums SE (Kontakt 4)

[jon_marr]

I recently purchased OWD SE, and it sounds fabulous with Jamstix. (After doing all the iMap midi key mappings, my first experience doing such things in Kontakt)

My issue is that when Kontakt is subhosted, whenever Jamstix triggers a cymbal choke of any kind, Kontakt 4's mapping mode gets switched from "iMap" to "Performance", thus nuking all my midi mappings and pretty much silencing the whole works.

If I set Kontakt up non-subhosted, and send the midi data by selecting "midi only", then the problem doesn't occur.

I attempted adjusting the jamstix ini file with the CH_ info, etc, to no avail:

[Kontakt4] //also [Kontakt3]... [Kontakt 4]
CH_15=83 //and so on

I can obviously get around most of this with midi channel forwarding and an extra instance of Jamstix to handle the Jamcussion midi output, but that would require creating maps for each OWD kit, AND each Jamcussion kit, and making sure the kits are synchronized every time I make a change. Not much fun.

If there's some simple way to stop Kontakt from switching mapping modes, I'd love to return to the simple joy of subhosting.

Any help greatly appreciated.

The section below should work. You can replace the 1 with any other suitable MIDI key.

[Kontakt 4]
CH_15=1
CH_16=1
CH_17=1
CH_18=1

CH_19=1
CH_20=1
CH_21=1

CH_22=1
CH_23=1
CH_24=1
CH_25=1

Thanks for the quick response!

OK, now if a drum event in the bar editor says something like:

CRASH 1 V:127 P:1 T:0 MS [CHOKES]

It doesn't trigger a change. But the generic "cymbal choke" (such as if I right click on a crash cymbal event and select "change sound/cymbal choke") still triggers the mapping mode change:

CYMBAL CHOKE V:100 P:1 T:3 MS [CHOKES] //changes mapping mode

When I "show key map" it displays the following for cymbals:

Crash 1 #61 C#3 Subhost: Kontakt 4
Crash 2 #60 C3 Subhost: Kontakt 4
Splash 1 #78 F#4 Subhost: Kontakt 4
China 1 #80 G#4 Subhost: Kontakt 4
Cymbal Choke #0 --

I'm not sure if the mapping to #0 thing is involved, but I can't seem to change it.

Thanks again for your assistance.
