New User - Jamstix will not play a song

Hi,
Probably something simple I am overlooking on my end. But I load up a song and then go to play it. I hit the play button and nothing happens. If I then hit the "preview the current bar in a loop" button and then the play button the expected result happens. It plays the bar in a loop. How do I get JS3 to play the full song and all parts?

Thanks,
LB

Ok,
I think I have the answer to my question. The start and stop is controlled via the DAW.

Question - Is there anyway to play the entire song from within Jamstix?

Thanks,
LB

Hi LB,

You can't play the entire song from within JS, the DAW controls playback and is the timing master.

Thanks for clearing that up. When looking at YouTube vids of it some do not show or tell you that the DAW is cycling in the background. If the DAW is doing that all you have to do is hit the "lock/unlock from Host song position" button and it looks like it is a play button. But one I saw clearly showed using the DAW to control play of JS3.

At any rate thanks again for clearing that up for me!
