Losing it on Locking
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 5:11 pm
I'm trying to lock some individual events and it seems hit'n'miss whether the event s locked or not. I can only believe that I'm misunderstanding as surely JS3 can't be that erratic?
I have a load of patterns I'm reasonably happy with, excepting 1 snare hit in each bar that I want quieter. Adjusting the feel variation doesn't do the trick, so I've manually set the velocity to be lower for this hit. Then I set 'Lock' which I'm believing locks this event from brain interference (hey, that's what the tooltip says!). I also have "Lock all manual events ticked". But when I hit Recompose for bar, as in some bars I want a variation, the "locked" hit often (but not always) gets reset back to max volume.
It's erratic in that sometimes it stays locked (with a red bar in the grid), sometimes not. I'm confused as what's happening doesn't map to what I think *should* be happening. i.e. Locking an event really should lock that event, and recompose all the other unlocked events, whilsy freezing the locked one for ever.
As to why the manually adjusted events aren't auto-locked, I'm also confused as I have the manual events locked. Does this only apply to entered events as opposed to editted events?
Any clues as to how I can prevent drum hits from brain alteration? This is driving me crazy
