I take it this is the JAM mode. (JAM with MIDI)

I never have seen the LED for MIDI light up when plaing some piano riff while the transport in Cubase4 is running...

Unless I load a song template on the main GUI page of J 2, i dont get any drum sounds, and then with a song loaded it is alwasy the same (using the defaults for J2.08 ) regardless of my playing... not really a jam session, more like kareokee...

OK found that if I select as input to the Jamstix2 track my keyboard that i also have to activate the monitor button for this track (J2) in order to see the LED for MIDI light up in J2 when i play... but it influences nothing that i can see.



would like to discuss the proper way of Jamming with J2 in Cubase4

I should have title the post : "Jamming with J2 for Dummies"

The Jam mode will not influence the pattern but its performance. Watch the power knob as you play. At low power you should hear rhythm reduction, switch to sidestick and less accents and the drum power follows the song power. At max power you should hear a switch from hihat to ride (or semi hats or crash depending on drummer settings).

Now that's the basics. If you want to make things more interesting do this:

Right-click on any brain control of your liking (i..e. Kick Complexity) and select 'Power' as the controller in the dialog that opens.

The slider will now move inline with the song power, which in turn is controlled by your MIDI play power in Jam With MIDI mode. This will actually recompose the groove in response to your playing. You can map as many brain controls as you'd like to 'Power' and also use 'Invert' to flip the control direction.
