I am just getting orientated with jamstix and I can not find a tempo controller. I am using it in soar x3. i thought it might follow host tempo but so far ,not,,,is there a user manual?

Hi,
The tempo is controlled by the host.

Above is the link to the Manual page

regards

in my case I have not been able to adjust tempo in jamtix.I adjust in sonar ,but jamstix is playing at always the same tempo?

That seems impossible. Do you mean full Jamstix playing or just bar preview?

I installed it,opened in sonar,hit the wizard button like in the video.then click on ballad and start it , there are variations and fill ect . everything plays at one speed, I adjust tempo in sonar , but jamstix keeps playing at the same speed....I am not complaining and I am sure I am making some rookie mistake, but thats where i am now, I downloaded the manual and will try to figure it out, meanwhile thank you for responding

After you adjust the tempo in SONAR, are the bar/beat displays in SONAR and jamstix out of synch?

in sonar I have nothing else playing

I'm confused as to how you start playing. This should be with the play button in SONAR. Let's do this:

- load jamstix and select a quickstart song
- arm a track in SONAR for recording
- click Record in SONAR
- Jamstix should now be playing in synch with SONAR
- stop and change the tempo in SONAR
- click RECORD again and JS should use the new tempo

ok I did that sonar moved at different tempo but jamstix stayed at original tempo

[w_kaylen]

the play button in sonar does not seem to start my jamstix , I need to start jamstix then start sonar , or visa versa

[speed_tom]

I am using Sonar as well, are you sure you inserted Jamstix as a soft synth? this way Jamstix is automatically in snync with your Sonar project. Also, you do not need to hit record, please play (with a Jamstix standrad song created by the songbuilder wizard for instance) and you are ready to go!

[w_kaylen]

I inserted jamstix using the synth rack ,,as a instrument track, then I use the wizard and build a song . I am completely new to this..then I get it to play but nothing I find will change the tempo. I stop the song and adjust sonar . start again and the tempo remains,, I have tried adjusting while jamstix is playing but with no results...another thing i noticed is that I need to manually change the patterns in the lower left I thought they would move along in the song so, so far I am just getting static patterns that repeat...I am going over the manual but it is not explaining what I see so far

[w_kaylen]

I finally got the tempo to change by stopping with the kit/bar /mixer editer pane , that arrow shaped like a circle. I had been using the transport buttons

[Ralph [RZ]]

Thre round arrow icon is just for previewing while editing a bar in JS by hand. Normal playing should be done from SONAR with the JS arrow icon off. If SONAR does not play an 'empty' project, use Record instead or set a play interval. Later versions of SONAR also allow you to switch off the no-play for empty projects in the SONAR preferences.
