Jamstix Plays Open Cymbals When Closed Cymbals Entered

Post by Classic_Man »

Why is Jamstix playing an open cymbal sound when I have cleared all instruments in a bar and entered closed hi-hats.

This is happening particularly when I use Pre-Chorus parts of Country Ballad and Basic Rock styles.

When clearing a bar, I did press Ctrl + Clear to remove any locked notes.

Thanks.

Pg. 71 of the User Manual:

33.3 P=Pre-Chorus
ï‚· uses selected style and preset
ï‚· if set to default preset and the style has a [P] preset, the latter will be used
ï‚· sets part length to half the verse length with X reps (X=how many part letters in
sequence)
[b:6dc28809e6]ï‚· power hand set to 50% hihat with a threshold of 50%[/b:6dc28809e6]
ï‚· repetition fills OFF and transition fills ON

Thanks for that info Azimuth.

I found that entry in the User Manual. As there is no further info for this entry, does this mean that this (Pre-Chorus) part is set and cannot be over-ridden by user custom entries such as closed-hi-hat in the part?

I have tried searching through all the settings I could find.

Thanks.

If you want the Hats closed in the Pre-Chorus part either move the Power Hand Min Power slider to max or change the Power Hand New Sound button to "No Change".
