Jamstix & REAPER

Hi

I don't think REAPER 3 recognizes Jamstix, I pointed to the folder where it was, and even made a copy to REAPER's plugin folder, but it doesn't seem to acknowledge the VSTi

Not sure what's happening for you but it works fine here with REAPER 3. Did you double-check that JS is in the search path and do a re-scan?

You may have an auto-save copy of the song in My Documents\Jamstix2\Revisions. Try loading files from there via 'Load Song' that fit in the most likely timeframe.

Ralph, sometimes Jamstix forgets its settings in Reaper. I can open up a project and the kit, style and drummer have disappeared.

Drummers, you see - you can never rely on 'em...
I haven't heard any further discussion on this specific bug but this seems to be fixed in the 2.5.1 beta. I am no longer losing JS settings on REAPER saves.!!!!
Hey Ralph, I can echo that Jamstix loses its settings within Reaper 3.0. I'm on Windows 7, and just re-opened a track of mine, and all the Jamstix settings are gone... it just starts up as if it were a fresh instantiation.

Any ideas? Anyway I can get it back without recreating it?

I'm using Reaper 3.0.2, and Jamstix 2.5.2 beta 5.

I donÂ´t know why, but when I save with shotcut (Ctrl+S) it eventually resets the song. But IÂ´ve tested sometimes saving through menu file -> save and it did not lose its settings. IÂ´ll report this in Reaper forums also.

This behavior is present in both Windows 7 and Vista x64 with 2.5.2 beta 5 in Reaper 3.0.2 as well.

Another user said that he had Jamstix problems when using a project done in REAPER 2 and using it in REAPER 3. He did not have any issues when creating/using a new project in REAPER 3.

Are you using the REAPERBypass option in jamstix2.ini?

I'm not aware of this option.

If you add REAPERBypass=1 in the [General] section of the jamstix2.ini then Jamstix will not save data unless the CTRL is pressed. Most who use this option get used to doing Ctrl-S in REAPER to save.

Hey Ralph,

It happened again tonight. Loaded up the project in question (after redoing the drums last night at 2:00am !!

) and again, it did not recall itself correctly. Luckily, this time, I saved a Jamstix2 song and I could just reload it.

Could you please take a look at this a bit further. I don't know if you have access to Windows 7, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to help you if you need it.

I switched over to Windows 7 from a Hackintosh in part so I could use Jamstix2, as I really dig it!

Do you maybe save while REAPER is playing?

That is a resounding, yes. Sometimes I do.
