We have just released the next update to the demo with a variety of enhancements and fixes!

• added separate controls for funkiness and complexity for kick,snare and hihat to allow for greater flexibility in free jam
  
• added smoothing control to audio-in processor
  
• arranger now scrolls to keep current bar in the display
  
• added hihat style control to instruct use of semi or open hats in free jam
  
• added option to toggle whether Jamstix plays with the host after start-up
  
• added option to toggle MIDI output
  
• added SOLO and MUTE switches to cymbal panel (Mute is MIDI-automated)
  
• the Start/Stop function for MIDI jams now also works for audio jams. Jamstix will wait for a certain input level before starting the jam and will end it after a few bars of silence
  
• fixed "chirpy" sound when open hihat gets muted by group under certain circumstances
  
• fixed problems with VSTi that want to store more than 500kB of chunk data (i.e. Drumatic 3)
  
• fixed shuffle mode being switched off in free and key word jam
  
• fixed Pentium-4 denormalization issues leading to CPU spikes
  
• fixed double-loading of internal samples when switching manually from external to internal
  
• fixed Mode switch showing incorrect state after loading chunk data

wow - you are on top of it !

any hope that the file selector screens (as well as all dialogis) will follow on which monitor Jamstix is opened on (for dual monitors) for the release?

Thanks ! Very impressive turn around on fixes and new options. Maybe you will get big enough and buy Steinberg and fix their support woes!

We're still working on the dual monitor issue....

Thanks for the kind words!

I love being able to change the complexity and funkiness of kick, snare and hihat.

The snare can tend to stand out as being too complex so being able to knock it back whilst keeping the kick and hihat funky is great!

Thanks, John!

It really opens up the free jam to a wide range of styles. My personal favorite is to have the main sliders close to the middle so accents and fills are quite funky, set the S sliders to zero so I get a consistent 2,4 beat and then rip HH and K complexity up and K funkiness about 60%.

It gives me that funk/gospel feel for some reason
