Please explain the "behavior" choices

Using the "Custom" style in Jamcussion...
I have been trying to get an idea of what some of the "behavior" choices do. The choices are:
Normal
Skip Lo
Heavy Lo
Neutrual Lo
Synco Lo
Skip Hi

"Heavy Lo" for example. Does it mean the hits on heavy beats tend to have lower power?
Then what does "Skip Lo" mean? It can't mean the skipped hits have lo power! Does the Lo/Hi have to do with the probability of a deviation from Normal?

For what it's worth, the manual for Jamcussion is weak when it comes to using the "dropdowns". A detailed discussion of the "custom" style would really help users come up with their own rhythms.

Sincerely,
J.L.

Sorry about that, this should have a more detailed explanation in the manual.

Skip Lo = notes will be skipped if the song power drops below 50%

Heavy Lo = notes not on heavy groove weight will be skipped if the song power drops below 50%

Neutral Lo = notes not on neutral groove weight will be skipped if the song power drops below 50%

Synco Lo = notes not on syncopated groove weight will be skipped if the song power drops below 50%

Skip Hi = notes will be skipped if the song power rises above 50%

Thanks for the explanation! No wonder I couldn't tell a difference since I was not toying with the power meter. With this information one should really be able to construct detailed ideas.

This is where Jamstix really shines. IMO it is not about the preset styles and patterns (as true with presets with ANY VSTi). It is about understanding how to tweak the controls to get the sound you really want. Otherwise, you are just hoping to "get lucky" with the presets. The presets will get you close but you need to be able to make the tweaks.

Go Jamstix!
