Was in an adventurous mood today, tried to check out the limits
by doing everything in an uncommon way.
Bear with me, it might be worth it !
JS2, Midi out only, EzDrummer mapping.
EzDrummer loaded in Cubase externally (not subhosted).
-- composed a 14 bar sequence with EzDrummer grooves (JS not involved), based on Levon Half Time, fills in completely unconventional locations
-- exported that as a Midifile from C4 to Windows
-- switched on JS, Jam no input, loaded EzDrummer mapping, Drummer Phil, Import Style, imported that Midi, checked repetition fills
-- Result: Phil interpreting that Midi almost literally, let it run for approx 80 measures, perfect.
-- drag'n'drop to C4 - voila, 80 bars of that strange but cool "composition" with added flavour
-- repeated play through while playing with the controls, power, brain, even changed drummers - a rainbow of possibilities while still keeping the original groove idea completely intact
-- You could replace the EzDrummer part with JS2's own sounds or any other sound module, the EzDrummer Midis with your own Midis or a self-programmed part, doesn't matter. Same concept, same amazing results.
-- This is absolutely incredible for a control freak like me, Ralph, what galaxy did your space ship come from ?
-- Now the only thing that could even improve this way of working would be the ability to import a sequence via drag'n'drop from C4 into JS, thus eliminating the need to export as a mid to Windows. Maybe for Christmas ?
Had to share this with you, maybe somebody can use these concepts which are not immediately obvious (at least not for me).
Very happy,
Rhino
