If you are interested in helping us test the next update, please go to your personal download page and download this release candidate.
Changes From 2.5.1 Beta 5
- improved MIDI import in EZX Percussion mode
- fixed incorrect bongo/conga mapping in 'Map GM' mode
- fixed MIDI export and drag-&-drop always using channel 1
- kit editor sound edit groupings are now remembered for the duration of the session
Changes From 2.5.1 Beta 2
- fixed freezing when right-clicking on brain controls to assign MIDI controller
Changes From 2.5.1 Beta 1
- improved fill focus behavior with snare or tom knob at zero
- removed debug message on certain host data loads in last Beta
Changes From 2.5.0
- fixed problems when trying to preview drum kits with a Jamcussion kit already being loaded
- fixed MIDI LEARN mode not writing to selected brain (drums or percussion)
- MIDI LEARN now works in bar preview mode as well
- fixed 'No 16th Shuffling' fill option not saving correctly to project file
- fixed internal sounds not playing under certain circumstances
- fixed a bug causing data not to be saved to the host anymore after composing fill with either snare or tom focus being zero
- all actions that lead to a skipped event now display the reason in the status bar when the mouse is moved over the event in the bar editor
- double-clicking on empty cell in the bar editor now adds the most common sound for the limb
- double-clicking on used cell in the bar editor now removes the event
- added 'Start Crash' option to the fill controls to add a crash cymbal on the last heavy tick before the fill
- added ini option 'REAPERBypass' to suppress any data save to REAPER unless the CTRL key is depressed. This should only be used if a user is annoyed by delays caused when REAPER continually asks Jamstix for the save data

I like this, too, but I have a question. Say I change the instrument for R1 from Perc 1 to Perc 3 using the Brain Controls. Then I'd expect a double-click to enter a Perc 3 sound.

The first time you double-click on a limb, it will assign the most common sound. If you change the sound for an event on a limb then the next double-click will use that last sound. _________________ Ralph Zeuner

The update hasn't cured my Reaper problems unfortunately.How and when should I use the,"Ctrl Key" option?
I'm still getting long delays when exiting JS in Reaper.I can stop these in the Preferences/VST/ Save full VST plug-in state if supported option.However if I do this then JS doesn't save it's last changed settings and Repear doesn't save the updated song data.I have to re-enable this to save :/ |

You need to add this line somewhere in the [General] section of the jamstix2.ini file:
REAPERBypass=1
this will cause Jamstix to only send data to REAPER in response to its requests when the CTRL key is depressed. _________________ Ralph Zeuner

Just been trying it.Doesn't do anything at the moment.Tried the line in a couple of places in the .ini file.
Removed and re-installed JS in Reaper as well just in case :/
Have posted on the Reaper forum as well to try and get a short-cut to toggle the VST state option on and off in the Reaper VST section. |

Hi Ralph,
GREAT, the double-clicking-functions are making the workflow much easier and faster!
Thank you for this Update!
For me I would like to see one more optimation in the workflow:
When I`m working in the bar-editor with different velocity-levels of the same instrument, for example HiHat, it is a bit difficult to do that. I would like to see either the velocity-fader closer to the bar-editor or, genial would be a way with holding a shortcut while using the cursor up- and down-keys to change the velocity level.
If this or a similar function would come in a further update I would be glad!
Best wishes
Carl Matthias |

Hold down the right-mouse button over a note and then slide up and down to change the velocity without having to use the slider. _________________ Ralph Zeuner

Sheppol, I just sent you a fixed ini file. You had put the REAPERBypass line in the wrong place; it must be in the [General] section. _________________ Ralph Zeuner

Hi Ralph,

This feature is working wonderful ! Very fast and easy!
I did not know this function. In the german manual for Jamstix2
was no hint about this great possibility to speed up the workflow.
Thanks a lot

Wow, this is a great tip!
Maybe there could be a Tip Of The Day thread? |

I've posted elsewhere and the new Ctrl option works well in Reaper.
Thanks again Ralph  |
