Jamstix3 won\'t play in time

Post by Javolenus_49 »

OK, I got problems again.

Everything was fine after installing the new DLL. But then I tried playing Jamstix3 via another plug in. The problems are:

1. Having selected a plug in, JS3 made no sounds at all. Also, I was unable to de-select the plug in or try another - I was just stuck with the non-sounding plug in.

2. Having removed and then reloaded JS3 into my host DAW, I decided not to try another plug in, but simply to use JS3 kits. But when I loaded a kit+style+drummer, I found that JS3 no longer kept proper time. Yes, the drums sounded, and yes, the program played a sort of pattern, but the timing was out.

I quit my DAW and started again but the problem remained. And so, having cured the original problem, I now have it back again. Trying to load a plug in into JS3 seems to have triggered this - at least that's my impression.

Would uninstalling/re-intalling help?

Please tell me the host and what you mean exactly with 'playing Jamstix3 via another plug in'.

Hi Ralph,

Sorry to hassle you.

The host is Cakewalk's Sonar Home Studio.

I was messing around with some free drum plugins. JS3 allows you to load a plugin and use its drum sounds.

I loaded a plugin called 'DR-Fusion' and selected a preset from it, but no sounds were forthcoming. I reloaded a JS3 kit but JS3 no longer kept time or played a proper (i.e. coherent/sophisticated) groove/pattern.

I quit Sonar Home Studio and made the above post.

Strange, to say, when I booted up Home Studio this morning and loaded JS3, it seemd to work OK. And so I repeated what I'd done before.

I loaded the DR-Fusion plugin. This time I was able to select a preset and JS3 played fine.

But when I reloaded a JS3 kit after using the DR-Fusion plugin, I found that I got the same problem as described above: namely, that JS3 wouldn't keep time or play in its usual coherent and sophisticated manner.

To be honest, I don't really need to use plugins with JS3. The program has more than enough high-quality drum sounds. I was only playing around and seeing what JS3 could do . . .

In other words, I'd be happy not to have the plugin feature but with JS3 playing properly.
