Midi control over Jamcussion

Post by drk1 »

Hi Ralph
A couple of queries re: Jamcussion
When you right click over one of the drum options say congas Drum 4 the midi controller pop up appears witha list of functions most of which are clear however there is a series named Drums 1/2 amount; Drums 1/2 power etc and I can't find any explanation as to what these control.
Also the 'single hits amount'
Additionally are you able to elaborate on the use of the 'behaviour' and 'power' option in Jamcussion

The MIDI controller list contains all brain elements. So if you see something like 'Drums 1/2 Power' then you can look at the brain, find the control of that name, move the mouse cursor over it and look at the help info shown in the status bar for it.

Single hits amount refers to stabs in response to staccato input during a MIDI jam.

'Behavior' deals with what the Jamcussion element does in response to song power changes. 'Hi' and 'Lo' refers to the song power and 'Heavy' etc. refers to groove weight. So, a setting of 'Heavy Lo' means that the element will only play its heavy weight ticks if song power is low.

'Power' is simply the velocity of the element, how hard it is struck.

Thanks Ralph - I've got it sorted now - I wasn't looking under the accents tab.
