skipped due to early downbeat

Expecting a kick and a crash at the start of a bar, but they are being "skipped due to early downbeat". How do I stop this from happening?

Thanks!

In the Fills tab, some styles/drummers have a knob for Early Downbeat, which makes the drummer play the "1" at the end of a part on the previous bar's "4" instead. If it's set to anything but zero, you've got a chance for it to happen.

Thanks Lokasenna!

Not at my music PC right now... so, I have to go to the bar [i:cb0bc83dd5]prior[/i:cb0bc83dd5] to the one that is skipping the hits and make sure that early downbeat is set to 0?

Aside from this, one thing I attempted was to set the individual hits to 'locked'. Isn't this supposed to override the brain? If it was overriding the brain, shouldn't the hits be audible? Just wondering because it didn't do that as I had expected. This is almost surely a case of wrong expectations, but I'm just making sure...

Delete the kick, crash on the 4-and of the preceding bar to remove the early downbeat, which suppresses notes on the downbeat of the following bar.

Thanks Ralph. I'll do that tonight.

Ralph, I tried this and couldn't get it to work, but aside from that, the problem is that I want the hits on the 4-and of the previous bar anyway. Can we just make it so that if we set the hit to 'locked', that the brain ignores the "skipped due to early downbeat" rule? User override kind of thing?

k, got it to work by taking all my hits out of the accents tab and putting them in the groove tab, but still... I think that having it override the brain when it is 'locked' would be cool.

Did I ever tell you that I love Jamstix? I love Jamstix. Dude, you have made the single greatest piece of musical software in existence here. You've probably heard this a million times, but I hope it still hits you when someone says it. I mean it. This thing is pure genius.

I know I kept banging on about it in the Reaper forums(and still will) but it really is in a class of it's own

You? And what about me???

Seriously, though, this really IS one of the best VSTis available on the market today.

Once the interface is learned it stops drum programming being a chore and actually leads to song ideas in some cases
