Jamstix & REAPER

[Tasten_clown]

Downloaded jamstix and fired up Reaper. Trying to add as a virtual instrument, but is not showing up on the list of VSTs.

Changed options in Reaper to actually see path to VSTs. One of them is programfiles/steinberg/vstplugins folder. In Reaper, there is only one VST there, iZotope Trash 2.dll. However, looking at the folder itself reveals this also is where jamstix4.dll (and audiom8.dll) reside. Just cant see either in Reaper.

Is there a trick I'm not catching here?

I have the problem, quite the same.
Installation seems okay.
AudioM8 and Jamstix dll are appearing in the folder that is being scanned by Reaper. But Reaper only recognizes AudioM8
On Scan Options, Reaper shows under rescan:
"Plugins that failed to scan" - here Jamstix is listed. When i click on it,
Reaper scans is again. But no result. Still not showing in the vst list.
I have the 64 bit version installed.
Thanks for any advice.
Stefan

Edit: Now, after several rescanning, Reaper list Jamstix dll and shows the following error message:
"error: could not load engine (C:\ProgramData\Jamstix4)
conatact support @rayzoon.com for further assistance"

The ProgramData Folder is filled with following directories:
bin
data
installer
logs
revisions
and jamstix configurationsettings file

Did you unintentionally install both the 32 & 64 bit versions to the same plugin folder?

No. Only the 64 bit version.

Use the Email Support function in the Manager app to send an email and attach your log files. Ralph is working on a planned December update presently so a reply might be slower than usual. Have you tried running Reaper with administrator rights?

Has anyone else encountered an issue where you tweak some parameter while the current part is changing (as in you're holding mouse click while the part changes) and this resulting in losing control over Jamstix and Reaper for a few seconds? I think minimizing and returning might fix it (not 100% sure) but it could also be that since it starts responding again after a few seconds it could also be that. It's an annoying thing that occasionally happens to me, but not that often and not debilitating, just annoying. I was just wondering if there's something I could do about it?

Do you have "Composition Multi-Threading" enabled under General Options?

Do you have "Composition Multi-Threading" enabled under General Options?

Yeah, I do. Would disabling this fix the issue?

Another minor question, I've noticed that if I load a project with Jamstix on it and recompose/change some things, Reaper doesn't show that anything has been changed and doesn't prompt me on exit to save. It's not an issue at all because I save manually all the time, but I'm just curious about this. I assume the changes don't get saved if I don't save? Maybe Reaper only knows that something saveworthy has changed if something in a plugin is changed that shows up on the envelopes? I guess what I'm asking if this is something that the VST reports to the host somehow or if it's just intended behaviour. Whichever it is it is very minor, like I said.

Funnily enough, if I close the Jamstix window that counts as a modification apparently, although arguably it's a smaller issue.

No, you want that to be enabled. I've never experienced what you've described here personally.

Jamstix saves it's own revision history which is configured in Options so you won't lose anything by not saving the Reaper project file. Make sure however that you name and save your song in Jamstix or else you'll wind up with a revision folder full of files named MY SONG (some long number here). I'm not really sure what flags the Reaper project as dirty but it has never caused any issue for me.

I also found that Reaper is doing something complicated regarding what it autosaves and what it does not. I have learned to keep saving the Song, just to make sure. I wonder if this happens in other DAWs - I'm gathering from reading threads here (and the manual) that normally Jamstix is quite capable of re-loading where a person leaves off (assuming they save the Jamstix-containing DAW project successfully)
