hey - i've been jamstix 1 user for while with cubase 3 on my main box,
Ive taken the plunge with cubase 4 on another till i feel safe enough to upgrade all,
I have loaded jamstix 2.1 ( and have the latest cubase 4 version ) just to keep it real simple , audio bass line triggering audio M8 - all good ,lotsa signal - wihin jamstix i have it set to "jam with audio " lots of signal - the drum kit is visually playing - its all good - NO sound from jamstix.
i have checked for any hidden mutes /solos . also uninstalled /reinstalled jamstix ( first time it was showing "missing sounds msg" that is gone now .
Im sure its something reallly stupid - im good a t that !- BUT any known issues about this - or the usual suspects whats causing no audio output outta jamstix-
BTW - I love the changes/color scheme for j2 - very easy on eyes - the brown reminds me of my beloved ensoniq Paris system - happy times !

well - i found the drums were not mapped to anything - hence - no sound - duhhhh! - but by loading /clicking on a kit it doesn't map out all the kit - it looks like i have manually map each drum piece to a sample ? or else they remain unmapped .... is this right?

This drives me crazy. I've been trying to use jamstix3 as a Cubase 5 plugin for days now - with completely random results. I don't know if it's Cubase, myself, or jamstix but sometimes (most of the time actually) I get no sound from jamstix although I can see it does play (jam mode) - sometimes (but rarely) it does produce audio output.

This is what what I do:

I have an empty instrument track in Cubase
The track's input is set to All MIDI inputs, it's output to jamstix 3
I'm in normal jam mode, locked to host's song position
A standard song and kit are loaded
I start the Cubase play function -> jamstix3 visually plays but no sound!

The weird thing is that sometimes I start Cubase in this exact same configuration and everything works as expected. Unfortunately, this is rare. Very frustrating!

Maybe I can help. Open Cubase5 -Empty project
Right click>Add Instrument Track
Click arrow next to "No VST Instrument> scroll down and select jamstix3
In Inspector click Edit instrument>opens JS3 choose the song>double click-load
Press Start in Cubase and voila JS3 plays

Thanks for trying to help but that's exactly what I did. As I said, I can see jamstix playing but hear no sound (although in rare cases without any change in the project it does work - don't ask me why).

Just to mention it: The other tracks with VST instruments (e.g., Omnisphere or Groove Agent One) work just fine. So it's not a general audio problem.

Please see if checking 'Downmix' in the JS3 mixer fixes the problem. If so, you need to enable all audio outputs for JS3 in the C5 VST rack.

Downmix was already checked. On/off makes no difference...
It may be something really simple and stupid on my side really... but what?

Please repeat the problem and then immediately send me rzdlog.txt from My Documents\Jamstix3.

I tried two approaches:

1. Add instrument track -> select js3 -> load 12-bar blues
2. Add js3 to VST instrument rack -> let Cubase automatically create a corresponding MIDI track -> load 800 Hip Hop

No luck in either case. I don't see a way to attach files here, so I'll send them to your email at r.zeuner.
