OSX Issues
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2015 11:49 am
Hi Ralph,
(from e-mail)
I managed to find the manuals, they get installed into ~/username/Library/Application Support/Jamstix 3/data/docs. Better if said folder was installed to a folder in Applications, or ~/username/Documents for easy find.
A few issues I note on first use…
OS X installer installs plug-in formats to incorrect directory paths. One would expect those to be installed to /Library/Audio/"respective plug-in format folder" and /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins for AXX, instead of ~/username/Audio/Plug-Ins for AU and VST and ~/username/Application Support/JamstixInstall for AAX
AU and VST do not work correctly in Blue Cat Audio's Patchwork (Standalone). Upon launch the plug-in automatically goes into play with the plug-in sync'd to host by default with the lock engaged. There's no way to stop this unless you unlock, and I presume one would press the spacebar to stop(?), so it looks like key commands are not passed to the plug-in when hosted in this app. There's no play button, only RTZ, FFW and Rewind; a feature request for future update if one is using plug-in in standalone. Also to that effect one cannot play and populate the Song parts (1, 2, 3 etc…) by creating a song, you have to double click one of the listed in the wizard.
I do not see option in the Options tab to set a data path. Does this mean we cannot move data to an external hard drive, redirect?
There seems a short lag when clicking the Options tab to when the information appears.
I had my first crash too, which looks like an issue with Patchwork, so let me know and i'll pass this onto Guilliaume (CEO) and Fred (technical support) to take a look…
And, I think there's an issue with the GUI not keeping position when you open it and drag it around the screen in Pro Tools 11.x. It may be a Retina display issue, but the GUI doesn't attach to the plug-in window, it moves inside and jumps about. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks in advance for reply.

Also, is there a pref to automatically set notes on bar one to be exactly on the bar for drag/drop to host? I’m often missing notes as they’re I guess played behind the bar (relaxed), and thus are missing from the exported MIDI clip. Further, sometimes the notes are shifted to bar 2 in error and duplicated with other notes played, causing that identifiable phased sound, two notes of same kit piece played at the same time.Date/Time: 2015-02-12 01:07:26 +0000
