Hello all;
at first I wish you a happy new year.
I've been using Superior2 as a subhost in Jamstix 2.5 and it works fine in principle.
However, when I try to load a different mixer preset in Superior2 Cubase (4.5.2) crashes.
This is a bit strange since in this case nothing regarding the kit itself is changed.
Loading a different preset for the whole drum kit leads to no sound. I don't know exactly why but I assume this is the case because something regarding the kit has been changed.
Do other users have the same problem and is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance

|
|
| I'm using Cubase 4.5 and JamStix 2.5.1. I'm working on a song with some tempo changes (speeds up a little for the outro and then slows down for the very end). JamStix seems to stop creating beats when the Cubase tempo changes. Any thoughts on what to do? |

How dramatic is the change? (like delta BPM per bar)

It goes from 76 up to 80 bpm then back down to 76 bpm. The increase is fine, but the decrease comes right as I change parts in JamStix and that's where it decides not to build any more beats. That same part eventually decreases to 70 bpm. The part in question is 7 bars/1 rep long. HTH |

Here is a work-around: disable the tempo change temporarily and let Jamstix compose the bars in question at normal speed. After that, reinstate the tempo changes and see if it works fine then since the bars will already be composed.

Actually, the problem is that I'm an idiot  - I was using an Ending part that was 7 bars long so it only did the last bar. I changed to 6 bars of a normal part and a 1 bar ending and it worked fine. |

I have C4. Just installed Jamstix 2 this week. I ended up moving Jamstix 2 completely (beta version) into the VST subfolders in Cubase with no problems. It does say three sounds in the big kit are missing.
Just remember that Jamstix is considered a "VST instrument" in Cubase.
What to do on C4 is to add a VST instrument (there is a dropdown in the "devices" tab) and you then right-click and select Jamstix. It will set up and create a track. You can then enable multiple channels inputs instead of stereo and in the Kit page in Jamstix you can select the output of each drum sound and swap to different channels which then show up in Cubase. This means you can massage each sound or duck that kick drum, allowing you to mix to your own tastes (just make sure to unclick "downmix" in the Jamstix mixer options).
It's run perfectly thus far. I love Jamstix! |

Hi,
Got a new computer running on Vista 64 bit.
I tried installing Jamstix 2 into Cubase 4 and a message said not compatable.
Is this correct? Is a Bridge needed?
I may have installed less than the latest Jamstix version.
Will Jamstix 3 be different?
Missing Jamstix.
Thanks,
Ron |

Jamstix 2 and 3 are 32-bit only. The Cubase bit adapter cannot currently handle Jamstix. You'll have to use the 32-bit Cubase on Vista 64 for Jamstix to work.

Thanks for the information.
Maybe someday I can jump back on board with your very awesome VSTi.
Peace,
Ron. |

Hi Ray
I seem to be having quite a few lock-ups since upgrading fromJamstix 2 to 3.
Is the new version much more memory intensive?
Also I seem to have problems with the program recomposing bars that I have locked.
I use Cubase LE4 and XP |

Please make sure you are using 3.1.3 Beta.

Sir,
In a reply to an earlier post, you stated:
| Quote: |
Changing plugin outputs in an existing Cubase project can be challenging. I recommend you save the Jamstix state to a FXB file (Save Bank), change the outputs in the Jamstix mapping tab, remove Jamstix from the project, add it back in (you should now see all the new outputs) and then reload the FXB file to restore the internal state of Jamstix. |
Could you please elaborate on this? I posted a reply in the thread for the Jamstix 3.1.3 Beta 2 concerning Cubase crashes when switching to multiple output configurations in Jamstix 3. As I stated there, my problem does not appear to be with the 3.1.3 Beta 2 only. I had the same problem with 3.1.2 on a project as well. I seem to run into problems when I open an existing project, add Jamstix and then switch to multiple outputs. When you say it can be challenging to change plugin outputs in an existing project, do you mean that it is a difficult procedure that requires specific knowledge of how to do it or do you mean that it can be challenging because Cubase may run in to problems and crash while 're-wiring' the outputs?
I understand 'how' to change to multiple outputs and I don't seem to have trouble with crashes with projects from scratch or templates. I switched back to Jamstix 3.1.2 and re-did the drums using Jamstix with the multiple output configuration on several of my older projects. I had absolutely no problems doing this with Jamstix 3.1.2. I saved the completed projects and they were working 100%. When I updated to Jamstix 3.1.3 Beta 2 and tried to open those projects again, Cubase crashes almost immediately.
Your comment above which I have quoted leads me to believe that my problem is related to the changing of the output configuration rather then being in the configuration since the crash usually (but not always) occurs immediately or very shortly after changing the output configuration to multiple outputs in existing projects. What makes me have my doubts about my theory is that I was able to change the output configuation, program the entire drum track, mix, change, and freeze, tracks all the way to a finished product with Jamstix 3.1.2 but then when I switched back to Jamstix 3.1.3 Beta 2 I still couldn't open the projects with the multiple output configurations.
The technique you recommend in the above quote, I believe, is for a previous version of Jamstix and I don't know if it still applies with Jamstix 3.1.3 Beta 2. Perhaps if I can get Jamstix to open in the multiple output configuration by default and avoid having to change the outputs I would have more success?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Jason L. |
