Change amount and velocity in Play Style dynamically with MIDI?

[Jesper]

Hi, is it possible to change the amount and velocity in Play Style dynamically with MIDI controller?
If not would be a cool feature, having the drums becoming more and more busy without having to
combine several small sections with different settings. Also in the Play Style select menu it would be
good to have the option everything but cymbal, for jazz you might want to keep the cymbal playing constant
but increase the complexity of the drums and hi-hat just like you do when the soloist is getting warm.

Hi,
there is currently no way to control the Play Style knobs via MIDI controller but it would be cool indeed.
What you can do is to build your song on the Song Track and when you’re finished, record the output of the Song Track to your DAW while manually adjusting the Velocity and Amount knobs as the song progresses. This should affect your recorded MIDI data.

Hi John thanks, yes that’s what I’ve been doing now but to be able do draw automation curves for the amount of the different drums would be super.
Like: controller nr 16 = Ride Cymbal amount, controller nr 17 = snare drum amount etc…
Maybe something for a future update? Hopefully not that hard to implement.

Exellent suggestions!

Thanks Hazy, yes would be a very nice addition.

I guess there must be a slight delay also when recording the output like I’m doing now.
