Thank you!!

Just wanted to say how much I am enjoying working with JS4. Really digging into the manual and seeing what can be done with this program is really surprising. I am still working on my first song on it and am about halfway through.

So Ralph to you and your team, thanks for a great program.

We're glad you're enjoying JS4, especially the way you're digging into all the possible aspects of use!

Loving Jamstix 4 ... so much that I purchased the BonzoPak to go with it.

Back when I installed Jamstix 4, I chose to re-use the JS3 sounds, rather than download duplicate sounds for JS4.

When I installed the BonzoPak, it skipped downloading the sounds.

Luckily, I know a little bit about computers, and was able to edit the Jamstix "installer.ini" file from

[code:1:c744a9e384]
UseJS3=1
[/code:1:c744a9e384]

to

[code:1:c744a9e384]
UseJS3=0
[/code:1:c744a9e384]

When I ran the installer again, it downloaded the BonzoPak sounds to the Jamstix 4 library directory listed in the "installer.ini" file:

[code:1:c744a9e384]
DataFolder=E:\Sample Libraries\Jamstix4
[/code:1:c744a9e384]


Jamstix 4 didn't recognize that I had the BonzoPak sounds until I copied the files from the JS4 directory to the JS3 directory, and restarted Jamstix.

Everything is good now, but I wonder:

a) Was there an easier way to do this? Did I miss some instruction or setting that would have installed the BonzoPak correctly the first time?

b) Should I change the library path in "installer.ini" to be my Jamstix 3 library path, so that it will put the sounds there if I install another extension Pak?

The recommended way is to uncheck 'Use JS3 Sounds' in the Install Options of the manager, which will trigger a full download/install of all sound files to JS4.

Wow! That was fast!

Thanks.

Sorry if this is discussed elsewhere on the forum - but what's the best way for us Mac users to stay abreast of news of the OSX version of JS4 being released, aside from coming back here every day to check? Is there any type of email list we can sign up for? Or is there a certain thread here in the forum we should subscribe to?

Thanks.

Agree with StPete - mac user keen to upgrade to JS4.

How do we stay up to date, and how long do we think it will likely be before a Mac version?

Thanks

We will send an email notification via our list server when JS4 macOS is available. There will also be an announcement in the forum when the public Beta begins.

Ok I'm almost ready to bite the bullet for upgrade.... One quick question. With Jamstix3 I would create and edit my drum tracks and then record to a separate track SSD4. Will I be able to do the same with Jamstix4 as i did with Jamstix3?
Thanks
