Here's the current Jamstix beta. Use at your own risk. Any feedback is greatly appreciated as it helps us shake out the bugs!

http://66.235.201.50/updates/jamstixX7-3.zip
THE BETA IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS AT THIS TIME. YOU MUST HAVE JAMSTIX 1.4 INSTALLED FOR THIS BETA TO WORK

X7-3

• if a bar is muted after a fill the crash/kick on one (if specified) will not be muted anymore. This allows endings within an arrangement by using a fill with muted bars
  
• improved MIDI import quantizing stage
  
• sliders and checkboxes now display their current value when the mouse moves over them
  
  
  X7-2
  
• added LED to the Jam Mode selector that blinks when Jam Start/Stop is active and Jamstix is waiting for the start trigger
  
• added hihat auto-foot setting 'Off Beat'
  
• modified auto-foot GUI to be easier to understand
  
• Jamstix now gracefully handles loading a VSTi with more outputs than Jamstix is set to
  
• fixed locking rhythm repeating previous bar instead of current with last beta
  
• accents no longer reset the 'crash on next 1' flag from another accent in the same bar
  
  X7-1
  
• when importing multi-pattern MIDI files, rhythms are now all named after the MIDI file + the bar number
  
• added 'Reset' button to load rhythm screen when called by right-clicking on a rhythm in the arranger
  
• 'Clear All' function in the arranger now allows clearing of all rhythms and also allows fine-control of what gets cleared
  
• lock icon in the rhythm tab now loops the current pattern at the current bar on internal clock for easy editing even with the host stopped
  
• fixed manually selected tom accents still passing the probability filter

Wow, now you´re really getting speedy, Ralph.
I´m trying very hard to keep up!

[Ralph [RZ]]

No need to keep up, Doc! We're just pushing these things out fast so users can test-drive new features and fixes.

You can take a break from the 'beta rat race' at any time

I just downloaded and installed this new beta. In using Sonar 5 in looping mode (ie: bars 3 to 6 repeating)....JS does not follow the looping. It continues on to 7 and 8 etc...

Can this be addressed or is it a VST shortfall????

I've noticed this in all the builds...just thought I'd ask.

Again I'm going to sound like a broken record ( CD for the younger folk) here but....damn this is the best drum VST out there.

Hi Ralph

Many thanks for fixing that bug - it's such an important aspect to the way I use jamstix. Still finding out new features and methods of working every time.
That's the beauty of it - it's so flexible. I believe the pay off for the steep learning curve is very rewarding. Stlill not there yet but I think I'm beginning to tame the beast.
For your Information I'm using BFD Delux - mostly the Vistalite and Gretsche kits and I've mapped extra cymbals so I can make use of the full variety of the Jamstix cymbal hits.

Thanks

Jamstix 2 will allow you to select snare head, stick, bounce, flam and rimshot.

"sliders and checkboxes now display their current value when the mouse moves over them "

Excellent!!!
Great work Ralph. This will make it a lot easier to see whether 2 things are the same value or to put something back where it was if you decide you shouldn'thave moved it in the first place
