Thanks Chris. For all these years, I had no idea what that rainbow control was for. Even after looking at the manual, it wasn't very clear to me. Neat. So I can just 'draw away' the upper part of the 'velocity map' to limit the velocity of the most intense hits.

Still wish I could just limit it to a particular velocity instead of guessing what velocity my drawing is translating to, but this will do. This reminds me of a pet peeve I have with the song editor velocity control. I turn it and it shows me a percentage. I mouse over the drum hit in the grid and it shows me the midi velocity. I constantly have to move my mouse back and forth to see what it is doing. I don't want percent, I want midi velocity.

Yeah, so-called 'first world problems' I guess.

Life is good, Jamstix is still my most valued piece of software despite all the bugs and quirks. I wouldn't want to make music without it.

Thanks again! I would still like to just set a limit, but I can live with this.

Cheers.

Have you tried tweaking the Power Level and Dyn (Minimum Power) options?

I do not think you can put in an exact Max Velocity for any particular piece of the kit as the Power Level affects the overall kit and makes decisions like switching Hi Hat to Ride based on the Power Level.

Maybe there is a way to convert the percentage that the Power Level is set to Velocity?

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I have tried these options but they don't prevent the drummer from getting really excited and hitting at maximum velocity during fills here and there. That being said, however, perhaps I could set the minimum power high enough that the dynamic range is reduced, which might make those stand out less though, eh?

Nice one.
