Jamstix & Acid Pro

FWIW, Sony just released a much improved Acid Pro 7, after a year or two of it appearing to be abandonware.

I'm curious to hear whether anyone has tried Jamstix 2.5 (or any earlier vn.) in this new release. If not, I may have to go pioneering in a while.

[i:27ce0967ce]{Disclaimer: Acid isn't strategic to me, but it is the best loop software, IMHO, and has a role to play in some pad/bed construction jobs.

I'm just getting started with Reaper, in the meantime. Which seems very user-friendly for more conventional recording projects.}[/i:27ce0967ce]

I have Jamstix 1.x and Jamstix 2 both of which function in Acid Pro 6. Recently purchased Acid Pro 7 and neither 1.x or 2 show up in the VST dialog box to add to a project in Acid.

Need help. thanks.

Make sure the path to JS is in the Acid search path.

Hey Ralph... Honestly never had to designate a path for VST added. Acid always sets them up automatically. Could you be more detailed or do I need to ask Sony? Thanks.

I have the Jamstix 2 folder inside the vst plugin folder (that's where I installed it) path= C:\programfiled\vstplugins\jamstix2\jamstix2.* .... I designated the path in the vst plugin manager within Acid and had Acid scan the path but no luck. Do I need to move the .dll up out of the JS folder so path is ...\vstplugins\jamstix.dll ?

Having trouble logging into Sony... probably wrong password... I'm getting a little long in the tooth.

EDIT: Apparently the initial scan and register process done by AP7 failed and jamstix2 ended up in the "failed" folder. You must check the failed folder - find jamstix2 - rightclick scan (or rescan)... that fixed it for me.

I tried initially to use the vst plugin mgr and manually designate the path for it to scan. AP7 would scan the location and designate "yes" that it had scanned but this did not resolve the issue.

Thank you,
