6/8 Metric in Jamstix2

Hi,

I am absolutely new to this forum and to homerecording at all. I just bought Jamstix2 and this is the first question that is upcoming:

One can use some 6/8-styles (for example 6-8 Rock). When I use this style it sill shows up as a 4/4 metric in the bar editor and worse it plays as a 4/4 metric. How can I achieve that JS2 plays a 6/8 metric ?. I also changed the metric in my VST host (Music Creator 4) to 6/8 - but this didn't change anything in JS2.

Thanks in advance

Holger

Changing the time signature in the host should be enough. Please try this:

- new project in MC4
- set time sig to 6/8
- load Jamstix 2
- load 6/8 style

If it still plays incorrectly, send me the file rzdlog.txt from the My Documents\Jamstix 2 folder.

Update:

first thanks for your support, Ralph.

I works now - what I found out:

- Change metric in Music Creator 4 (6/8 )
- load jamstix2, 6/8 style drummer and kit
- start the preview in JS2 (the 2 arrowed circle in the upper left of the bar editor)

- -> it won't work

- start Music Creator 4 and stop it (if you have no other track with data define a loop and let it run/stop)

- start the preview in JS2 again

- -> it works now.

thanks

Holger

Sounds like MC4 doesn't send the time sig info to JS2 until you start it once.
