Hi Ralph, am starting to get to grips with JS2 now.

A question: When JS2 jams with MIDI, is it doing a structural analysis of the data, as JS1 did? The reason for asking is that I like to control velocity via the Power Level automation parameter rather than assigning a MIDI continuous controller. In order for JS2 to respond to the automation I need to switch to "Jam No Input" to avoid the velocity conflicts between the automation and the incoming MIDI. But, if I want to recompose parts in this mode, I suspect JS2 won't be seeing the MIDI data and will therefore miss the structural analysis (assuming it does indeed do one). Hope this makes sense?

One small suggestion - it would be nice to see whether a part is composed or not from the song sheet (maybe a flag or different colour?) rather than having to look at the timeline - I find this a bit fiddly.

Cheers,
Tim.

JS2 does not do the chord-to-pattern analysis that JS1 did since it has a part-based arranger. So by going to Jam Without Input you only lose the hit analysis, which isn't a big deal.

Thanks Ralph, by "hit analysis" I presume you just mean velocity (as per Jam with Audio)? If that';s the case, I'm always going to control that manualy, via automation, anyway

Cheers,
TIm.

'Hit analysis' is a MIDI analysis of key frequency and placement that detects staccatos, which is used to mark ticks as 'forced hits'.
