Just wanted to publicly say thank you very much for the effort you have put into these latest beta's.

It's such a joy to be able to use JX3 again in my tunes

Thanks
Jed

OK, i have noticed something strange...when i open Jamstix up in previous project, ie one with Jasmtix already in it.... it is running behind the music...and when i hold the cursor over the TIME area, it says there is an ERROR? I have to speed it all the way up to sync it...

Am i missing something again?

Just an FYI: Beta 14 will go out tomorrow.

Post by **Ralph @ Rayzoon** » Sat Feb 08, 2014 10:59 am

Beta 14 is now out. Please do this prior to installation:

- delete any DLL files in the \bin\32 and bin\64 folders of your jamstix folder
- delete any p*.mmf and c.mmf files in your Documents\Jamstix3 folder

Please report any outstanding issues you may have with Beta 14 and email me rzdlog.txt.

Thanks!

Some GUI issues for me in 3.6 Beta 14 (and earlier versions too). Using JS in Reaper 64bit. and everything seems to work fine for drum playback. GUI LHS odd sort of square zero over BARS. Also garbled hidden lettering to the right of 'Transition Fills'. On RHS of GUI 'Chorus Length' and 'Verse Length' the word 'length' is truncated. In Song Page words for kick, snare, hihat come out white compared to the orange for all other words like 'feel' or 'power hand'. Options page on LHS and bottom of page lower half of lettering missing. Jamstix kits play fine but if I click them with the mouse they don't sound. On certain drums or cymbals when I click on them with the mouse the word 'link' is shown in channel 2 of the mixer. I can also see half hidden numbers LHS behind the controls for previous or next bar. Tried the wizard for a few different songs and they all loaded fine. However called up 'Standatrd Song' and got an access violation warning at address 0000000000D3D489 etc. Despite this the song had loaded fine and played perfectly OK.

Anyone else seeing these GUI issues? None of them seem to be affecting the functioning of Jamstix in any way.

Can confirm here.
Plus, the jamstix window constantly steals focus in reaper when you click on it, mainly noticed when you are in fullscreen mode. I think this is a main problem with the new concept due the plugin server window. I stick with the 3.5. The dropdown issues (mouse pointer, slow doesn't recognize every movement when moved fast) also present. All in all it feels very clunky. rzdlog doesn't show any errors.

So far so good with Beta 14...I did have an issue where I used the "Undo history" in Reaper to take the project back to intital state, Jamstix wouldn't trigger the samples again, but, closed the project, re-opened it, & everything's been ok since....fingers crossed..

Wanna say thanks for all the hard work Ralph, I'm sure all this is very tedious/hair pulling stuff, but I really do appreciate all the work & dedication you put into Jamstix.....Great drum app!!!!!!

Ralph, first with Beat 13 and with Beta 14 (Reaper 64bit) ...

still having sync issues...i have to have the icon (black dot) on the time line all the way over to the right 50ms behind beat i think it is in order to sync it to the song 120bpm...

bearing in mind i have been working on this song for a while...didnt have this issue with 3.5.1. beta 8

Followed the instructions for JS36b14 install - removing the relevant files as per earlier post - and found the GUI won't load at all in Reaper 4.591x64. Couldn't send a log file as it didn't generate one.
Restored PC back to before install, now on JS36b13, all fine.
Gonna try just installing b14 'over the top' later, without the file removals...

Worked like a charm Ralph....so far so good, no glitches or hiccups yet....thanks again for your hard work, gonna roll up my sleeves & see what I can come up with....thanks again!!!

I confirm the UN-check is required also in beta14 to allow JS to play kit hits from the mouse
