Controlling Percussion Sounds (Short loops)
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2009 6:11 am
I have searched the forums and haven't seen a post about this.
I'm using Jamstix 2.5.0 in Cubase Essential 4, and am having problems with the kit control for percussion when playing a 1 or 2 bar loop (this is when I had problems trying to place a drum that only plays in short bursts so I made a small loop) but it doesn't appear to happen in a longer loop.
I have selected:
Kit - Jamstix2 Funk, Style Amen Break, Drummer - Steve
Perc - Afro-cuban, Style - Light & Funky, Drummer - Handy
When trying to edit the volume and pan after right clicking on the drum in the kit window, I had difficulty getting a knob into focus with the mouse. Once it has focus, it is difficult to get it released again. Then once released it won't regain focus ( the mouse pointer jumps over the knob altogether).
Some of the knobs respond to the mouse without clicking, so they move when I am just moving the mouse.
If I stop the song, and go back to the main window, it appears to clear most of the problems, but they come back when I try again.
It's not such a problem now I realize it only happens on short loops, but I thought I'd let you know anyway.
Regards
Steve
