Two things: I have not figured out how to record Js once it is in an audio track (either via fx bin or synth rack). In Sonar 4 it seemed to work: I just echoed and recorded it where it was. I have tried echoing, I've tried sending it out CH3/4 on my M-Audio Omni (Delta 66) and record it from inbound CH 3/4....
Second: I managed to get Js stuck on the first measure. I have no idea how: it never goes past the first measure and effectively repeats the same beats (notes/pattern) for the entire song. It happens every time I load the preset I saved. I don't need to fix it as it turned out to be a really good thing for the one particular song...I am more interested in knowing how to repeat it! I can save out the midi but then I lose the tempo/velocity changes during the rest of the tune (past bar one). The song is in 3/8 by the way....
Next is can I run multiple Js with different settings? In a brief attempt with the one bar version above, it seemed like changing one would alter the other (not verified)...I suspect it is because all midi is omni and I need to channelize stuff, eh?

I will forward all the data (file attachments) you need.
Song is in 3/8 and I am adding in drums for it. I know it doesn't really 3/8. I can try 6/8 and see what happens.
I just installed 1.42(?) last night and have not fired it up yet. Maybe I should uninstall 1.42 and use whatever I had so I do not lose that stuck measure. Unless I can get the whole out as a wave or midi (midi would be better actually), although I do not have directixfier (whatever), just the sonar version.

I managed to record it okay in Sonar 4 and I didn't peg the track with start/end tags....

What I was trying to do is add some normal drum playing to this tune. By accident I got a tom festival thing going for one measure...almost sounds jungle...and it just relentlessly builds tension like a locomotive for the first 2/3's of the song. It also sounds pretty good at the end (about 8 minutes long). So I was thinking of keeping it. I tried to run two Js's, one to play that single measure throughout and was going to try and get the other to do the drum track. If I could get it to spit out the midi I hoped to tweak it into time. I don't mind editing drum tracks. I just cannot stand to draw out every note and then find it sounds horrid, etc. I figured I could try lying about tempo and bar length and see if I could still get some interesting multiple: 6-12/8ths.
Anyway, it looked like I'd not be able to record the Js one bar throughout, so I was going to insert another for a new pattern (conga player and drummer) and it looked like the 2nd changed the first, then the first changed the 2nd...so I wondered if giving them each separate channels would help. Dual drummers would be cool anyway unless their randomizations were in total lock-step (i.e., pseudo-random).
I can ftp/tightvnc/email the files you want. You can look/see whatever else is of interest as well.

Cheers!
