I'm getting Jamstix to trigger UVI Soul Drums. I've set up a kit in Jamstix which is midi out only and tha'ts gone fairly well.

In the Groove editor cymbal chokes can be created. How exactly do I get Jamstix to send a new midi note for the choke as there is no option in the Kit window under the different cymabls for midi notes to trigger chokes?

In the manual, I've seen the section at the end for code to input in the midimaps file, but, could anyone point me to exactly how this is done?

TIA

Hi fulvia,

Using the example in the user manual:

CH_15=X

CH_15= means Choke Kit ID 15, which is Crash 1.
CH_16= would choke Crash 2
CH_17= would choke Crash 3
CH_18= would choke Crash 4

"X" is the midi note you want Jamstix to send to UVI Soul Drums in response to Jamstix choking that Kit ID. So for example if the mapping in UVI Soul Drums uses: (these are just random numbers)
Midi Note:
93 Crash 1 Mute (or choke, they all use different names)
94 Crash 2 Mute
95 Crash 3 Mute
96 Crash 4 Mute

The code would be:

CH_15=93
CH_16=94
CH_17=95
CH_18=96

Hope this makes sense and helps.

Many thanks - it nearly makes sense, but, could I just ask, where exactly would I install the code?

First, can I ask does it go in this file: Jamstix.mdmap

and then, if so, whereabouts in relation to my file contents below?

I don't know if the actual location matters but this is where the lines are located in the existing Midimaps I looked at, I doubt it does.

Perfect - I'll give that a whirl.
Many thanks indeed.
