Thanks for the no Snares below 20%. I just had to do that by hand in a song yesterday!

Yes and no, you can only add those elements that are in the 'Add' submenu of the brain menu.

But I suppose reloading the drummer will bring everything back to default...?

[J van E]

Clear. I keep on mixing the two up when it comes to what does what with the Brain...

This is awesome! I finally got around to updating and the crackles went away. I had assumed it was more of a Tracktion/graphics cars issue than a Jamstix one. Now if you could just tell the Kjaerhus guy what you did to fix that so I could use his chorus in Tracktion without going insane...
