Jam mode
Jam mode enables the jam mode for this rhythm. A rhythm in jam mode does not receive MIDI commands as usuall. It
listens to the incoming MIDI instead, assuming it is a piano or another harmonic instrument and plays with it. Note that
changes are made on breaks only, since this is the way real drummers play.
When you enable jam mode in MDrummer plugin, you have 2 choices of how to tell MDrummer when to play and when
not. First you can enable song structure. Or second, if song structure is disabled MDrummer still listens to MIDI
commands, and you should play with him on channel 11 and higher. For example rhythm 1 is commanded by channel 1
as usual and you play with him on channel 11.
Sequencer mode
Sequencer mode is enabled by default. In this case MDrummer automatically switches from breaks and intros back to
beats, stops playback after outro and possibly automatically plays breaks (fills). You may want to disable it e.g. if you want
to edit breaks.
Automatic breaks
Automatic breaks lets MDrummer automatically play breaks or long breaks. Interval between them depends on break
length and break interval settings. Works only in sequencer mode.
This parameter can be automated.
Perfect sync
Perfect sync is available only inside MDrummer plugin and makes MDrummer always in perfect sync with the song. On the
other hand MDrummer will be driven by the starting point of the song, so you may have problems with stop-times,
different signatures etc.
You may try disabling this in some extreme cases, but that may cause desynchronization when host application sends
invalid notes. This can happen for example when your computer is too slow or when you rewind and host tries to output
notes that have actually already started.
