Hello Mma users.
I am new to MMA but as a former guitar player i can immediately see the immense potential this program has.
Before MMA i used JjazzLab. Very good also but it lacks that little bit of possibilities to make your own groove, especially the strumming / plectrum feature give very much potential to create real guitar like strums.
Using JJazzLab i found a style (medium jazz) that is very nice for jazzy songs. So i thought that it might be possible to reproduce that style in MMA.
However i can not do it on my own due to being inexperienced.

The style uses 4 tracks, drums, bass, piano and guitar, and this 8 bars. See link below

Johan Vromans (sciurius) was so kind to help me out with the bass track. Now i understand the way setting up a bass pattern / sequence.
So still 3 tracks to go.
I would like to try to make the drum sequence myself, but i don't know where to start.
So if there is someone out there that could make a super simple drum track sequence that actual can be listen to, that would give me a start.

Thanks very much.
Jean

The easy way to do this is to take an existing library file and to change it to what you want. I'm not sure what end result you are trying for, but for example, take something like the library file jazzcombo.mma and rename it to "myjazz.mma". Now, go though the file and everywhere you see a "DefGroove" change the definition from JazzCombo to "myjazz" or whatever you think is suitable. Next, and don't forget to do this, change all the calls to the original to your new names. So, when you see "Groove JazzCombo" change that to "groove myjazz", etc.

Next ... well start to make changes. I usually start with one groove. In this case it will be your new MyJazz groove. So, create a short test file "test.mma" and have it look something like this:

Code:
Groove myjazz
C
/
Dm
/
G
/
C
/

Which gives an 8 bar framework to play with.

NOTE: Before compiling the test.mma file you will need to do a "mma -g" or (better when you are just testing/playing) copy the file you are working on to the same directory as your test file. See the docs in the big reference pdf or html in the section Library Files.

Now, this is NOT at all what you want. It's just a copy of the existing jazzcombo Smiley Now, you can start to delete parts of that, add your own, etc. Trust me ... it looks complicated, but once you start to do some work on it daylight will come!
