Midi drums - brushes kit ?

Post by Mitch Crane »

I'm trying to use midi drums; Brushes Kit on a tune, but all that comes up in my drum selection, list is Standard Kit, then a bunch of Drum Patch #1, #2, #47 etc... I can't select the brushes kit ? What am I doing wrong ?

Mitch,
You should be covered then.
Some of the earlier BIAB didn't have brushes.
I'm wondering if your sound card supports brushes?
When you pull up the various "styles" you need to look and see if brushes are included.
You might not be able to use brushes on every style.

Thanks Erv,

What I need specfically, is a style in 3/4 time 77 bpm approx that utilizes the midi brushes kit and I can't seem to find one that works for me ?

I'm trying to do "Moon Over Manakorra" and "The One Rose", both 3/4 time and I'd like to use the midi brushes kit if possible... I've done the tracks in BIAB using "real tracks" but the jazz brushes drum tracks are a bit more than I'm wanting... ?

You might check for "sub-styles" viarations of the drum tracks by clicking on the part marker and pressing the "P" key. Some tracks have more than just the "A" and "B" style playing.

Mitch,
You might try WLZ~SLOW.STY. It's a 3/4 slow waltz. Even 8ths with a tempo range it says is 65-120. I'm using it in The Old Rugged Cross with the #41 brushes kit.
Hope this helps...
