Half-time switch not working?

Post by Voltago »

After using Jamcussion for the first time I wanted to play around a little with different moods. So I tried the half-time switch in the groove menu and noticed that the groove didn't change at all. So I recomposed it - with no effect. Then I tried with other styles - still no half-time. The only way I got half-time was using weights.

Is this a bug or a stupid user? :shock:

Hmmm..some styles won't do halftime due to their logic but many do. Can you tell me a specific style that didn't work with it?

Heavy Drive from Jacussion played by Percy. When I start half-time it obviously skips some L1 and R1 beats but not always. Maybe I'm expecting something different from half-time but to me it feels more like reduction. When using the dial a metal jam session from quickstart I don't see any difference at all.

The 'Half-time' switch does not affect the current Jamcussion styles. 'Dial-A-Metal' does its own half-time in the lower complexity range so it is also not affected by the 'Half-time' switch.

I know it is less than perfect not knowing whether the switch applies or not but that's where we are at this moment.
