Jamstix and Crossover mac

gustav · Post by **gustav** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:50 pm

Hello,

I've installed Jamstix with Crossover's demo on my Imac. (Leopard)

Could anybody tell me how to run Jamstix with Reaper or

Ableton live?

Do I need Wineasio or anything else?

Thanks for your help

In fact, I've installed Jack Osx Jackwasio and Crossover.

But there's a problem with Reaper, when I choose wineasio in audio device

there are no input and no output to choose...

I've checked Wineconfig in Crossover and there are no Jack input and

output in audio (like under Linux)...

So it doesn't work at the moment...

But I won't give up!!

Hi Gustav,

I think there is an incompatibility between Wineasio and the latest version of Crossover Mac. I had the same problem you're having. In the end I used DirectSound instead of ASIO. I'm only using the MIDI output not the audio from Jamstix so not using ASIO isn't really a problem.

Yea I have to agree. I was using wineasio successfully up until I upgraded to latest crossover and now wineasio seems to not work at all. It shows up, but the audio doesn't get out. I'm not sure what else to say for now. Try the crossover forum.

Alright. I take it back, Jamstix is no longer working with the latest versions of CrossOver Mac. Very sad. maybe we can figure it out.

Under the latest CXMac 7.1.0, wineasio does not function at all, but otherwise everything seems to work ok.

Under CXGames 7.1.1, the wineasio works fine, but opening up any jamstix
dialog box such as Options, the window slides down the screen until its off the edge of the screen and the app remains frozen after that.

I'm not sure why CXGames has this window behavior while CXMac does not. kind of strange.

I also tried to use virtual midi ports from CXMac straight to DP and I can get it working but the midi timing is horrendous that way. Something in the chain is causing a lot of inconsistent latency. Unusable that way either.

So I guess until further notice, CXMac does not work with Jamstix. I can't rememember which version of CrossOverMac I was using where I had it all working but if I can figure that out I will roll back to that version and then just hope for Ralph to finish the mac version of Jamstix which will really just make my day.

Ok. Thank you very much for your answers.

So waiting for the Jamstix Osx's version would be the better way, hopping I'll be able to use my licence bought under Windows...!

Gustav, see the other thread going right now. I have managed to get jamstix working SOMEWHAT. Its still not 100% perfect solution but you can do some work with it on the mac. See the other thread for details. The only limitation I am having presently is that I need to find a vst host that can sync with an external sequencer either as master or slave. EnergyXT can't do it. But see that other thread.

yes, hopefully a mac version of jamstix is coming and then we won't have to worry about it anymore, but until then you might still at least be able to use jamstix to create some drum grooves for you.

Hello Dewdman,

It's now working for me too with Reaper!!!

Thanks a lot for your help

Are you able to sync Reaper with your main Mac sequencer(like logic or DP or whatever)??
