Still the same problem Thanks for your help, but I'm going to uninstall this and wait for the updated demo. I've spent several days now accomplishing nothing. I'm still interested, and I may still try it here and there, but I just wanna make music, not be a computer tech. I just formatted this computer on the 14th. I've done nothing with user accounts or access control or permissions, so I don't know how I'm getting access violations, or disk drive errors, runtime errors, blah blah blah. I'm very glad that many can use this with no issues, and I wish you continued success. Feel free to keep me posted on new updates. Thanks

Well, in case I didn't mention it before, I'm diagnosed with OCD. Therefore, I couldn't leave this alone even for a day. I reinstalled the demo last night and I've been going for it again. So far, the problems with the disk drive error as well as all the other errors have not occurred. I don't want to jinx myself, so I won't say that all is well just yet. This is the normal 3.5.0 demo. So far, I haven't used the 32 bit .dll you sent me yesterday. I'll keep you posted!

Well I spoke way too soon. All kinds of weird problems again. I tried to click 'turn groove into style'. It asks how many bars, I tell it 4 (very common, right?) Then it tells me 4 is out of range. So click it again and I get an access violation. In fact, when I click the arrow to the left of the compose button I get the access violation almost every time. The beats that do work are still sounding very much like a rookie drummer. I thought the AI knew that a crash cymbal is almost always played with a kick drum, but these beats have random cymbals thrown in all over the place with no kick drums. Not always on the beat either, Just random. This will be the last day for fighting with this. Can I get any answers, anything to try, any suggestions, any replies at all? I feel like I'm doing everything I can on this end to try and make this work, but I also feel like I'm in this all alone. Thanks.

Sorry for the hassle, mate!
There is still something weird going on with your config. I recommend you wait until I have a 3.6 Beta Demo for you.

Do you have an idea when that might be available?

Inside of a week.

OK I can wait that long. I'm not prepared to give up totally just yet.
What do you see in my log file that is odd? If there is an issue with my user account or permissions or whatever, what can I do to correct it? I honestly haven't touched that stuff. Nobody sees this computer except me, so I have no use for additional user accounts.
The access violations are over my head, and I don't know what causes them or what they are. Jamstix freezing Reaper when I click a demo song is puzzling, and I don't know why it's happening.
And searching through the forum, I don't see many others having the problems I'm having. If it's my system, and you see something in the log that throws up a red flag, I'd appreciate any suggestions you can offer. Waiting for the new demo is fine, but many others are running the current demo without these problems, and technically, I should be able to do the same. Thanks

Sorry you are having all these problems. Jamstix is a truly amazing program but obviously not when you are going through all these issues. I think one problem s the fact that you are using the demo version and the forum people have the full edition. However I am sure it should be working for you. Is your computer system set up predominantly for 64bit? Also what is your audio interface and is it set for ASIO?

Hi and thanks for the reply. My system is indeed 64 bit. Windows Home Premium 64 bit, Service Pack 1. ASIO drivers, Line6 UX2 audio interface. Is the demo a way older version than the full version? That might be the issue if it's the case. I agree it should be working, but no joy to this point.

Maybe you should completely uninstall your current JS demo removing all traces. Now try the 3.6 beta demo which was promised. The 3.6 beta 10 has now been issued so you should be able to obtain a demo version. I would try that and make sure you are placing the Jamstix dll files in the correct vst folder on your system. You can install both the 32bit and 64bit Jamstix (certainly in the full edition) if you wish. I only use the 64bit. Then maybe try something very simple like loading an example song from the menu which should load drums, drummer etc. Then see if you get drums sounding OK. Fingers crossed!

I have completely uninstalled, as well as clearing all registry instances of Jamstix...many, many times! I formatted my computer again 2 days ago. The 3.6 demo isn't available on the download page as far as I can see. It's still showing 3.5 for the demo. I'm no novice, and although you have no way of knowing that, I can assure you, all my .dll's get placed in the proper locations. I run Reaper 64bit and I have separate VST folders for 32 and 64 bit plugins, as well as a VST Misc folder for 32 bit .dll's from apps that install both by default. Reaper doesn't know the Misc folder exists. I've had problems in the past with Reaper seeing both 32 and 64 bit versions of plugins, so I only run 64 when possible and reaper doesn't know about the 32 bit versions.

I appreciate your input, but the problem isn't as simple as loading a song and drummer, etc. I have a very firm grasp on that. The problem is what happens to my system when I try to do that. Read the entire thread again and you'll see that I'm getting freezes, access violations, disk errors and all kinds of strange behavior, just from something as simple as clicking the song wizard. I'll wait until the 3.6 demo shows up on the download page and try once more before I abandon this completely and buy MDrummer.

I'll get you a 3.6 demo soon. Couple of issues left to clear in the Beta.

OK sorry if I was stating some very obvious points for you. Hang on in there as you have obviously been pretty patient not to give up already. Jamstix really is a fabulous resource as you know from so many happy users. Keep us posted with how things go with 3.6 demo when you get it.

Thanks Ralph. I'll give it a try.
