dissapearing midi

One more thought, when you load the midi clip are you hitting play and letting JS compose at least one bar before you save as a style preset ?

If you save the style preset without composing a bar or so you are effectively saving a blank style.

Other than suggesting you study the video again i'm all out of ideas

and i know zip about Cubase so i can't help out there.

Hope you get it working !!

It really is worth the effort so stick with it, it will no doubt turn out to be something really simple

Cheers

Make sure to let us know what the problem turns out to be when you get it figured out, OK?

Hi

I have never before used this feature in Jamstix , but have just followed the video to the letter.

The tutor doesn't mention the obvious, that you have to click the play button in Cubase etc. to hear the groove.

Again, sorry to state the obvious, but only trying to help.

Hi, I have to thank studio 664 for stating the obvious !!! ( not obvious to an idiot muso like me tho ) I've got to start Cubase before I press the button in JS..seems so damn silly now but I'm one of those people that expects to follow a tutorial and then it works,if it doesn't then I'm up against a brick wall, thank you everybody who joined in to help, I want to stick with JS because it's the most drummer like vsti out there it's just quite a steep learning curve for me in particular. to everybody..thank you, Kevin

while I'm here does anybody know how to delete the imported midi files ?
because I've got a big mess now..I'm sure it's obvious somewhere but I can't find it..

In that video the DAW/Host software is running and Ralph is just locking and unlocking JS from it. That is why the Lock button is acting like a Play/Stop button. I just tried it in 64 bit and it does work properly.

And i know its been covered but if you just leave the lock button pressed in and use the start stop function of your DAW you should be good.

HTH's cheers

Sometimes its hard to see the wood for the trees

Glad you got it working.

I don't think the actual midi files get saved, just the style / groove you create from them ( but i could be wrong on this )

You can delete those from the styles or grooves folders inside
Jamstix3/data/ on the drive you've installed JS3 to.

Cheers

Glad that you got it figured out Kevin. It's the simple things that'll bite you in the a**.
