Jamstix 1.2 has just been released. Thanks to all of you who have helped us out by tirelessly testing the X-betas that we made available in this forum!

• rebuilt entire synchronization logic to make things tighter as well as compatible with high-latency environments
  
• implemented "bar locking", which allows freezing a bar at its current state regardless of later pattern or mode changes
  
• modified 'Export To MIDI' to use a buffer of the last session play to account for real-time factors
  
• time signature changes are now supported in hosts that do not send proper barStartPos information (Cakewalk VST wrapper, FL Studio and others)
  
• foot hihat now automatically plays on quarters during a fill if no other hihat is present
  
• foot hihat now automatically plays on quarters when ride is active
  
• added checkbox to kick panel to allow for double kick rhythms
  
• added MIDI automation parameter to control shuffle mode
  
• improved kick velocity realism logic
  
• kick and snare eighths are now properly played and aligned in shuffle mode
  
• preview no longer suppresses snare and tom accents
  
• when using MIDI-Out Only mode, the DLL location prompt is now suppressed
  
• added label showing the name of the currently loaded mapping to the mapping tab
  
• LiveLoop trigger list now includes triggers already in use but marks them with an *
  
• LiveLoops are now limited to 99 bars and cannot extend beyond bar 999
  
• added hint about 'Big Time' window to bar/beat display
  
• added hint to PLAY button
  
• liveloops are now properly checked for overlap when adding a new loop in front of an existing one
  
• added custom cursors for the arranger
  
• all note triggers now have a '--' item in the pick list to reset/disable the trigger
  
• optimized pocket and timing variance logic (note that this requires SPP from the host)
  
• added lock to velocity slider to maintain velocity level manually
  
• 'decided' bar color is now brighter for better distinction
  
• 'Play Input' status is now remembered when closing/reopening GUI
  
• bar jumping is now disabled if host is playing
  
• changed arranger mode slider switch due to difficult use with touchpad
  
• snare and tom accents no longer play if the rhythm is empty
  
• fixed issue with doubling of notes when looping in Cubase with either high latency or latency-compensated plugins
  
• fixed syncopation jam habit button
  
• fixed behavior of internal engine when going in and out of MIDI-Out Only mode
  
• when switching off MIDI-Out Only while in external sound mode, the external module is now properly reloaded
  
• when Jamstix starts in MIDI-Out Only mode, the internal samples are no longer loaded
  
• fixed shaker offsets
  
• fixed arranger redraw issue on pop-up windows in some hosts
  
• fixed bar 1 repeating in some hosts with high latencies
  
• fixed scrollbar disappearing in arranger under certain circumstances
  
• fixed suppressed Tom 1 2+
  
• adjusted and fixed audit function and it also works now with BFD
  
• HiHat + events now translate properly into shuffle mode
  
• fixed repeating bar 1 in hosts without barstartpos info

• inserting and deleting measures now properly moves mute flags

Thanks again Ralph!

This is really great. I can´t recommend Jamstix enough and I´m really having fun with this program.
The only reason I´m posting only once in a while is because my setup is working flawlessly. I´m stopping by this forum everyday though.

Thanks Ralph for your fantastic support!!

[PeteD]

Superb work, I drop by the forum every day now and new versions are released before I've finished trying the previous one!

Regards,

Pete

I'll chime in with a big Thank You, too! So, Ralph, version 1.3 will be ready, when????

[Telecaster]

Hey Ralph,

Your customer service is quite remarkable, and the speed with which you turn out new and improved versions are amazing.

The only thing that i could wish for is a better manual, and maybe a lot of examples of how to's with all the different hosts, maybe even contributions from the users on how they do it in their setup.

Keep it up, but please make sure you leave a bit of room for Jambace which I am looking forward to.

Cheers

Mike

Hi Ralph,
A few things (don't know is they came up elsewhere)

1. Is there a way to see exact values for sustain, pan, ambience, pitch, solume in Mapping window so you can match across multiple samples. In fact, the univeral ability to do this would be tremendously helpful for all parameters.

2. With latest version, I adjusted master velocity level (to ca 60%), but when I saved project and reopened, it had reverted to maximum velocity level.

Thanks!
Dan
