It does not matter, it leaves you time to improve even more Jamstix 3. Wink

Go, work Ralph! Cool

Ralph,Would it be possible to have a T in the top right hand corner that you can click,and enable/disable so Jamstix 2 stays on screen?
It would be usefull when trying out compression etc with plug ins on the drums,to have both the plug in and Jamstix on the screen at the same time,so you can see and hear what the difference is when changing compression/eq etc settings for the drums.

Ralph,

Are there any plans to have J3 be able to follow tempo changes that are already setup in the host?

Or is this already working, and I just haven't been successful at getting it to work?

Greg

JS should follow the host's tempo, including tempo changes. Works for me.

Yes, I just did some tests, and JS followed tempos just fine.
Next test is to get it to chase meter changes Smile

Thanks,

Greg

Tempo changes need a bit of set-up:

- check 'Enable Time Sig Changes' in JS2 Options
- create a part in JS2 for each time sig section in the host
- click the reps/length of each part to set the time sig for that part

OK, great, thanks.

Unfortunately any software UI typically needs to address 2 audiences:
* Marketing: Those yet to buy - needs to be eye-catching/beautiful
* Users: Those who have bought - needs to be efficient and logical

Sometimes those 2 needs can combine - but where they can't you need to have "Options" to disable, re-size, etc... so that both needs can be met.

For long time users, such as myself, the graphics are not that relevant anymore, except where they support the functionality. Factors such as workflow/control improvements for common activities will be appreciated. I'd start with a priority queue of the most commonly performed actions and ensure that the top 10 could be performed with a single-click. The less common activities can require 2 or more clicks - in proportion to their frequency of use.

The other concept to consider is "context switching". It is common for any task to have a number of different contexts, e.g. Arranging whole song, working on kit sound, experimenting with single loop. When inside this "context" the top 10 actions should be just a single click away. Jamstix basically supports this idea anyway - might just need some more clarity/commitment to the notion.

Thanks again. Easily my favourite piece music software. Keep up the good work (and amazing support).

Damien.

One of JS's selling points was its ability to be used with my older 1.7 Ghz cpu. Will JS 3 be as easy on the processor?

peace

JS3 will be as easy on the CPU as JS2 if used in a similar way.

I assume that "05/11/2009" is American date convention, meaning May (5th month) 11th (day) 2009. I don't know where 5th of May came from…
11th of May this year, in other words.

"On or after" would mean if you bought JS2 anytime after 00.00 hours on May 11 up to whenever JS3 is released.

Best,

Joachim
