hi. i've got Cubase 1.0 and Jamstix 1.2 (i will upgrade Jamstix later).

here's my trouble:

when i'm in Manual mode, in the Rhythm screen trying to make a beat with semi-open hats (in the hihat combo box), it actually plays closed hats. selecting Closed hats produces NO sound. (selecting Open Hats plays open hats).

so i go to Mapping to check things out:

i make sure that Semi-Open hat is assinged to a Semi-Open sound. and when i Audition the Semi-Open hat, it actually plays the correct semi-open hat sounds. so the Audition works fine.

i max the volume, load different kits, restart my computer... no luck.

as an experiment, i create just a kick-snare beat and in Mapping i assign the kick, for example, to the Semi-Open sound and the Snare to the Open hihat. THIS WORKS.

so i can audition the right semi-open hat sound, and i can play it if it's mapped to a different drum, like a kick.

i imagine the problem is Cubase related. i don't think the internal Cubase drum map for the L7 (or whatever the default Cubase kit is) has a semi-open hat -- so is this the root of the problem?

i don't know enough about MIDI but i think i tried different mapping alternatives or output options in Cubase. (i think, i'm not at my DAW now and i'm not good with MIDI terms and concepts).

any suggestions?

thanks kindly.

This is a bug that was fixed back in Jamstix 1.4.....definitely time to upgrade, mate
