Hi Ralph,

(from e-mail)

I managed to find the manuals, they get installed into ~/username/Library/Application Support/Jamstix 3/data/docs. Better if said folder was installed to a folder in Applications, or ~/username/Documents for easy find.

A few issues I note on first use…

OS X installer installs plug-in formats to incorrect directory paths. One would expect those to be installed to /Library/Audio/"respective plug-in format folder" and /Library/Application Support/Avid/Audio/Plug-Ins for AXX, instead of ~/username/Audio/Plug-Ins for AU and VST and ~/username/Application Support/JamstixInstall for AAX

AU and VST do not work correctly in Blue Cat Audio's Patchwork (Standalone). Upon launch the plug-in automatically goes into play with the plug-in sync'd to host by default with the lock engaged. There's no way to stop this unless you unlock, and I presume one would press the spacebar to stop(?), so it looks like key commands are not passed to the plug-in when hosted in this app. There's no play button, only RTZ, FFW and Rewind; a feature request for future update if one is using plug-in in standalone. Also to that effect one cannot play and populate the Song parts (1, 2, 3 etc…) by creating a song, you have to double click one of the listed in the wizard.

I do not see option in the Options tab to set a data path. Does this mean we cannot move data to an external hard drive, redirect?

There seems a short lag when clicking the Options tab to when the information appears.

I had my first crash too, which looks like an issue with Patchwork, so let me know and i'll pass this onto Guilliaume (CEO) and Fred (technical support) to take a look…

Any news Ralph? Thanks. The main issue is the pref for aligning hits of a groove to the downbeat exactly for drag/drop.

Thanks!

I don't wish to lose the human feel, just move the "first note(s)" of a/the groove to bar 1. Currently, when you drag/drop to host, the first notes are cut because behind the bar (I presume) or they are shifted to bar 2, causing doubled notes that phase. This is a bug! I don't know what's happening to cause this? Help appreciated from yourself or any other user with more experience of the soft please...

Any info re the crash and the GUI not connected when moving window around... PT 11 and 12, OS X?

Hey Ralph, thanks, sorry if this is taking you away from developments... I just can't get it to work.

This is drag/drop of parts to the host, for further editing, yes! I'd like the grooves to all have a defined start, with notes/events writ precisely at bar 1 for the down beat and for loop... but obviously nothing else in the groove touched, so human feel remains throughout.

For some reason as I say, either notes/events are missing from the start on drag/drop, or worse they are shifted to bar 2 and overlap notes there (causing phasing).

Cheers,

Ash

Not sure if there's anything you can do to move away from the server and use Cocoa, Juce or some other framework..?

Any news on this Ralph? Thanks.

Can't really replicate this as far as missing/shifted notes goes.
Please do this:

- play the whole song through (or bounce/mixdown to makes this faster)
- use MIDI Export in song menu to get a MID file of the whole song
- import MID file into host and see if notes are present properly

Hi Ralph,

I'm still seeing this issue and having more besides... such as:

- Doubled notes when previewing the current bar in a loop, on the song page

- I can't get a simple pattern to play/be created, and randomisation often doesn't work to change the pattern. It's creating patterns that are out of context to the previous bar of a song, even in a structured 4 bar verse it's just riffing and playing beats that you wouldn't hear in a typical song format.

- Drag and drop is snapping to the playhead marker with Pro Tools AAX. I.e. I can't drag/drop where I want in the timeline freehand, I have to first set the playhead where I want to drop it.

- The interface is always focused when open, and stays in focus when you hide Pro Tools.

- I hear glitches with playback at 1024 buffer, using internal samples, and I'm on a robust 2.8Ghz i7 MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM (2014).

- Changing parameter settings for grooves doesn't update performance.

I'm having a bad time getting things to work, possibly my error but I feel there are a few bugs.

Can you drop me a line and we can catch up via e-mail or do a Skype session to work through these issues, please?

Thanks!

Ash
