i'm not sure exactly what info u want regarding my asio driver--i think it's asio 2.0, came with my edirol ua-25 usb soundcard/interface-- i tried adjusting the buffer size and lowering the latency, but it didn't make a difference--are u sure sure sure that u did it exactly like i said, because i can't believe it's my system, as it occurs in exactly the same way every time--it's exactly those bars i referred to, etc.--(so far in regard to every aspect of the program we've been on the same page, so i find it hard to believe it's just me) -- i was right about the mute problem affecting the preview, so u never know --can u maybe try these two things one more time?
1. load "back and forth", set intro to bar 5, and try to preview a fill anywhere from bars 16-19

2. set first 4 bars to an unloaded rhythm, preview fill in bar 5 in rhythm 0 (back and forth in this case)-

just for comparison, use "down the drain" as fill in every case, and use "easy does it" as intro--not that i think it makes a difference which ones u use, but u never know-- thanks ralph, you're the best--

Sammy, is this with internal sounds or BFD?

this is with internal sounds (i mean it's obviously the same with bfd, but it's even with internal sounds)

Sammy, here are the precise steps I took:

- new project in Cubase SX 2
- added Jamstix to instrument rack
- hit play and stop in Cubase to initialize song position information
- verified internal sounds loaded
- loaded 'Back and forth' into slot 0
- in arranger set Intro 'Easy does it' on bar 5 and fill 'Down the drain' on bar 17.
- previewed fill bar 17 in a loop

I sent you an MP3 of what it sounds like to your E-mail address.

I just can't hear anything wrong with it...

ok, i got your e-mail, and the preview does indeed seem perfect on the mp3 u sent me-- but check this out, you're not gonna believe this--i tried it again, and same thing happened--but then i decided to follow exactly what u did down to the T, and it worked! -- the only change i made was to press play on the sequencer before i loaded the rhythm, whereas usually i either just load without pressing play, or if i want to preview a rhythm i always forget to press play until i get a message telling me to do so---however, after it worked, and i couldn't believe that little change made a differnece, i tried to preview the intro on bar 5 (easy does it) again, even though it's already loaded, and it was fine, but then i previewed the fill on 17 again, and this time it was messed up!--so, try: not pressing play in sequencer before loading--or, after u follow the exact procedure as u described in last post, preview the intro again and then preview the fill again and tell me what happens

I was able to duplicate the issue. I'm on it...

ok, hang on a second--for some reason, i myself cannot even duplicate the problem by not pressing play and stop in cubase until loading rhythm, etc., even though five minutes ago, i could-- but for sure i know that once i preview the intro, then the preview on 17 is messed up--and specifically i should note, the way it's messed up is not the same as with the mute problem before--it is just playing the fill without the rhythm--

[sammy24]

oh baby! i was actually about to admit myself into an institution (my inner psychologist tells me that i have a deep-rooted inferiority complex due to the perfection of Jamstix, and i have started imagining all sorts of little issues with it in order to make myself feel better )

[sammy24]

in regard to the other thing, it is slightly different and i don't know if it's connected, but... load back and forth to slot 0, set first four bars to rhythm 1 with no rhythm loaded for rhythm 1, then try to preview a fill from bar 5 -15--and the first time u do, it might work properly--so preview, and if it works properly, then close the preview dialog, then try to preview again--in this instance, it does play the rhythm along with the fill, just it is like missing one snare hit --you'll see, something's off --i tried setting the first 7 bars to rhythm 1 instead of the first four, and it seemed to affect more bars, from 8 to twenty something)

Sammy, I just e-mailed you a test Build. Let me know how it goes and thanks for all your testing!

hey, thanks a lot--the test build seems to fix all the problems!--the only thing is that the preview on the intro(!) didn't sound right--well i set the accent sliders to 0 and it worked--but it's not like it put in an accent--the timing was off--i tried it with a bunch of intros-if the accent sliders were raised at all, it messed it up---but all the fills previews were perfect, no matter the placement of any other bars, etc.--so thank u once again for your time and efforts

P.S. i just made jam meister today--how many posts do u need to become site administrator?
