Hi,
I'm a new user of Jamstix and trying to understand the basics.
I have made this simple groove from scratch, all knobs has been set to zero:

Then I have moved busy kick value from 0% to 18% and pattern has been changed. After that I have changed Busy value to 19% and back to 18%, but surprisingly I have got a completely different kick pattern for 18%. Every next change 18-19-18 have caused next unique pattern. See the looped video here:

I must admit I don't understand this behavior. Is it a feature or bug? Can I make this rock stable/fully predictable?
Thanks for your advice.

That is normal. When you move a Brain control, Jamstix issues a "Recompose" command and the part will be recomposed based mainly on the control moved but not exclusively. Other elements of the groove can be modified if they are not locked.

OK, so if I like a current groove but I still want to try slightly different values of Busy (or any other) parameter then I have to use "Save restore point" as first, right?

Always a good idea to save restore points and the first thing I do always when making changes to something I'm already happy with.

Understand, thank you for your help.
