a bit more testing is needed, but for now I can say it's like night'n day since 3.1.2, far more stable and no more load graphic bug!

open nitpicks are :

-right-click on transport buttons toggles them down until you click on it.
-a few sliders in the A.I. window don't open the midi cc dialog when you right click them, instead they jump to zero.
-In mixer when you right click faders they stick to the mouse

What's Position-based Damping?

It's for Sheppol

It changes the way the kit editor dampening works. By default, JS starts attenuating soon after the sound starts and the knob setting controls the rate of attenuation. Position-based dampening has a constant rate of attenuation and the knob controls the start point of the sample where the dampening starts.

This problem (sliders in Classic Kick and Snare overlap beats matrix in some time signatures and groove weight settings):

[img:c0bcce50b1]http://www.coises.com/lji/js3.1.3graphicglitch.png[/img:c0bcce50b1]

is still there in 3.1.3 Beta 1, though perhaps you werenâ€™t expecting to get it this time. The above is in 3/4 time, default groove weights, Reaper 3.75, Windows XP Home SP3 32-bit. Screen is set to 120dpi, but I did test 3.1.2 at 96dpi and the problem persists.

Hi!

When I load any kit and then change the hi-hat sound I always get this error message:

[img:4a9d748b77]http://masarin.info/Jamstix3.1.3.B1.jpg[/img:4a9d748b77]

This is in version 3.1.3 Beta 1. It works fine the 3.1.2 release version.
It still works to change the snares for example.

I downloaded this 3.13 beta. Is it supposed to run an install or ??

Post by **Ralph @ Rayzoon** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 10:59 am

No, just backup your current jamstix3.dll and replace it with the Beta DLL.
