Hi, I love the potential of JS but I'm struggling to use it..it seems very complicated but i suppose that's the price you pay for something so clever..anyway, my problem is when I try to use a midi file as the basis of a style for JS to follow, I follow the instructions..load import style..load midi pattern of choice, save style preset in the brain menu, click wizard..select import etc...the instructions then say select other options as desired nd click create song but before i can do this i need to click wizard..is this correct ? when i do this and start JS the midi file has gone and JS is doing it's own thing..what am I doing wrong please ?...Kevin

This should explain how to do it.

Thanks for that and I apologize for my stupidity..I should have found that vid myself...while I'm here can I also ask why I can not drag and drop a midi file from JS..I can drag and drop midi from all other plugins on my computer, I suppose there is a vid about it, I'll have a look, cheers, Kevin

Hi again..just followed the video to the part where he plays the midi file that he has just loaded, when I press play I get nothing !! even tho I followed him precisely, if i go to the kit page and click on a drum I get a sound..so they are not muted..I would really appreciate some more help, thanks..Kevin

Hi Kevin,

If you are using the 64 bit beta, drag and drop has been removed. It does work in the 32 bit version. Let the song play through then drag the Song Title or Part name (if you only want part of the song) into your DAW.

Ok so I can not drag and drop because I've got 64 bit..maybe this will be fixed in future updates, I'm not sure what you mean regarding locked to host, JS has always followed my DAW no problem, there is no mention of this in the tutorial vid, he just goes to the button as if it was a play button..should this button be in a certain position before starting the process ?..thanks for your help with this..it's driving me nuts

[Azimuth]

It doesn't matter what position the Lock button is in when setting this up but for it to play the Lock has to be closed. In that video the DAW/Host software is running and Ralph is just locking and unlocking JS from it. That is why the Lock button is acting like a Play/Stop button. I just tried it in 64 bit and it does work properly.

I have no sound, locked or unlocked and like i said before if i go to the drum page and click on a drum i get a sound..so what the heck is goin on ?..I've tried midi files from EZD and Groovemonkey ..but nothing..how can it be that i follow the instructions and it doesn't work ? this is a great piece of software and I've got to get it working ..thanks again for your help, if you have any other suggestions please let me know..Kevin

What host are you using?

[shadowfax_]

Hi, I am using Cubase 6.5 on W7 64 bit...

[Azimuth]

Sorry Kevin SX3 was my last foray into the world of Cubase so I can't help there. Hopefully Ralph or someone familiar with 6.5 will chime in.

Make sure you don't have midi only highlighted in the mixer view, also you need a drummer loaded and you need to use your saved style as the style.

And i know its been covered but if you just leave the lock button pressed in and use the start stop function of your DAW you should be good.

HTH's cheers

Hi and thanks for joining the discussion, If i go into drum module mode the controls at the top of the song sheet disappear, so can't press unlock/lock..however, on the tutorial video it is clear that Ralph is not in drum module mode..ie normal jam button is pressed in...and the lock/unlock button is on"unlock" then he presses lock to play the midi file..non of this happens for me..any other suggestions welcome..nothing is to obvious..thanks again..Kevin
