It doesn't seem to pass more than note data, from what I can see. I tried to get any kind of peep out of the Cockos' people, but ReaSync seems to be an ugly hack to them.

is jamstix on the mac just wishfull thinking or is it actually in the pipeline. I have just totally swapped over to MAC and Jamstix is the only thing that I cant get to work on OSX, the workaround looks very usefull but as the author says it is a workaround and a bit klunky....I have enough technology/software getting inbetween me and music

hi
if you use vm vare fusion and if you have extra usb midi interface you can install its drivers to vm and you can connect its output to to the main interface of the mac.if you have a multichannel audio interface you can assign the mac's daw master out to another channel other than first two1-2.by default vm ware is gonna use these two if your audio interface is mac's system's defualt interface.if your audio lets you route the system out as input in your mac daw ,you can record jamstix audio into your mac daw.with the usb interface you record the jamstix midi as well.to sync,your daw should be able to send midi clock to the midi out connected to the usb interface,on the receiving end(vm ware daw) you just need the live trial version that slaves to the midi clock.trial is save disabled but you can save your song with jamstix anyway.
peace
burak

It is not wishful thinking but the pipeline is long.

crossover Games works better for now. Its not perfect. Sometimes it jams up. Reaper is less then steller under Crossover. We all await eagerly for Mac version of Jamstix. Until, read the guide at the start of this thread. It will work if you keep working with it until you get it working.

How would I sync Logic with Reaper?

I managed to route the MIDI out of Reaper into Logic (simple IAC routing) and using Superior Drummer as VSTi but I cannot set Logic as slave or sync tempo/timeline.

Any ideas? Can Logic be set as MIDI sync slave?

Thx

Hello guys,

first of all...iÂ´m new to MAC OS and donÂ´t have much experience with this OS.
But I also want to use Jamstix on my MAC sequencer (Logic)

can this one be a solution??

I tested it out (I'm definitely not a pro!) but it doesn't look like it's a VST wrapper as much as it is a VST host. It's basically Wine preconfigured for you.

It would be cool to have an AU that talks to this, though, it would just be an interim solution of course.

whatÂ´s about this idea??

installing "parallels" with a windows xp on the mac...
...install cubase with jamstix onto the virtual windows machine

configure cubase (win) as slave
configure logic 8 (mac) as master

and sync them somehow.....
would that be a possible solution?
