Please download from your download page (Jamstix 2 Beta) and replace your current jamstix2.dll with this one.

If you get any crashes or errors with 2.0.11, please send me a mail with a brief description and attach your rzdlog.txt file from your Jamstix2 folder.

[Previous 2.0.10 release today had a bad DLL and to avoid confusion has been renamed to 2.0.11]
Version 2.0.11 8/26/2007

• various stability fixes
  
• fill length knobs now operate as percentage of bar length
  
• MIDI output now works properly with Ableton Live
  
• fixed behavior of 'MIDI Quantize' button in Options screen
  
• fixed default part being set to 1/4 time sig when using Cubase and 'Time Sig Changes' enabled
  
• drummer habits can no longer remove locked notes
  
• fixed 'note ghosts' left in bar editor when reducing composition in preview loop
  
• limb check system now properly considers locked notes when determining necessary deletions
  
• when resizing parts or adding/removing part, existing fills are no longer recomposed
  
• when loading a plugin DLL manually, you are now prompted whether you want all existing sounds to be mapped to the plugin. That way you do not need to manually change every sound
  

Version 2.0.9 8/25/2007

• fixed no sound + errors when using dry kits in 2.0.8
  
• fixed problems with projects using Import style saved with earlier versions
  
• fixed error 105 when trying to open import style loader after done so previously and having previewed some files
  
• various minor fixes
  

Version 2.0.8 8/24/2007

• fixed some Jamstix 1 rhythm import inaccuracies
  
• improved event time and velocity offset maintenance
  
• improved stability in some hosts with certain configurations
  
• the bar editor menu option 'Lock Manually Created Events' is now recalled and also set by default
  
• fixed pattern preview changing host lock status
  
• fixed doubling of notes on beat 1 during part change when 'Time Sig Changes' are enabled
  
• fixed problems with playback in 'Freeze' mode
  
• improved MIDI drag-&-drop data quality
  
• displays proper message if user tries to edit a bar past the end of the last part
  
• fixed improper saving of 'Import' style data to project, which also resulted in long load/save times

• various fixes to improve stability in several hosts on certain machine configurations
  
• 'Quickstart' is no longer a separate window to avoid window Z order conflicts in some hosts when loading a fresh JS2
  
• fixed problem with phasing on freeze playback. If you have an existing project that does this then thaw JS2,use 'Clear Buffers' in Song menu and play the project one time to get good buffers and then it will be fine
  
• bar editor edit width now properly adjust when using multiple time signatures in the same song
  
• fixed no fills being generated with brush player at 100% drummer ratio setting
  
• JS2 no longer jumps to the foreground upon mouse move with enabled mouse wheel support. Therefore mouse wheel toggle has been removed from Options screen

• fixed samples loading to RAM when changing sounds with 'MIDI-Out Only' enabled

Hi Ralph...

Mine still says Version 2.0.9..

Is that OK?

Thanks

[John-E34]

Ralph, Just installed Version 2.0.10, could not get ANY sound from it.

Re-loaded 2.0.8 and everything is now normal - FYI only.

Thanks.

[sonicviz]

No sound from 2.0.10 in Reaper V1.888.

Rolled back to 2.0.9 and sound is back.
Have 2 gigs now, will run with 2.0.9

I'm not sure how you want to do your host testing, but maybe you want to slow the hotfixes deployment and get some checklist "Host tested OK" confirmations from different users before releasing.

I'd be happy to do it for Reaper, and I also have cubase LE and Bidule I use as hosts as well.

Up to you! Either way, keep em coming!

[Willy4360]

2.0.10 is 2.0.9C?

I think I downloaded 2.0.10 but it says 2.0.9C...

Willy.

[Ralph [RZ]]

Darn it, I uploaded the wrong version. This one has compiler options that cause these problems.

New Build will be out in a minute! And it will say 2.0.10.

Sorry about that, I was just rushing this out because it has LOADs of fixes and I wanted to start the new week on a better note

Hi Ralph-

[Ralph [RZ]]

Fixed DLL is now out and it is called 2.0.11 to avoid confusion. Sorry about this mess-up! Just the result of a crazy week with non-stop working...

wow 1 week 10 new versions. You are making the folks at reaper look slow.

I don't think Steinberg had that many patches for cubase sx 2, 3 and 4 combined over the last 5 years!

Awesome support, your record speaks for itself.

Exactly what you described with 2.0.11, but the problem is not this. The problem is when you don´t use repetition or transition fills. Do like this: create a part that´s 1 bar long with any number of repetitions; click on any bar in the fill tab then click the compose button, this way you manually create fills. Now change the number of repetitions, or create another part before or after this you have manually placed fills, and all your fills are lost.

[Ralph [RZ]]

Ahhh, I must not have read your original post carefully enough!
That's a tougher one because currently JS2 can't tell a 'manual' fill from its own fills. I'll get it worked out...

Should I expect this sorted out any time soon or should I be a little more patient? I believe this is the real only thing that keeps me right now from beginning to work with it. Although meanwhile I can save my fills and in case of resizing/adding/removing parts I can reload them, just can´t forget they are part relative in case I move parts.

Anyway, I´ve got another question that´s related: how JS determines the size of a fill if it´s neither a transition nor a repetition fill since the two length knobs are T or R (and ´vary´ seems like a complement)?

Thanks.

[Ralph [RZ]]

I'm gonna see if I can get the manual fill issue licked today.

If you manually place a fill, it uses the R-Fill length setting (+/- Vary).
