Hi there ..

new user with the product running it wrapped as Rtas in PTools.7.3

I am having an issue of what sounds like double hits producing a phasey effect.

Now this is with a very simple setup..Drumstix is on a PT instrument track, and all I am doing is running the transport with jamstix in manual jam mode.

I have chosen the simplest rhythm (16th rock) with every slider and complex setting turned down in the rhythm page.
I cant seem to get what amounts to straight playing without odd double hits or phasey sounds..

any ideas?..im sure its simple

cheers

Hello. This happens to me when I set JS as a midi input and as a midi output. But I use Cubase SX, don't know about PT. Maybe Ralph can help you more.

Uncheck 'Play Input' in the jam tab and see if it helps.

Hi Ralph,

sadly that makes no difference..its really odd !
Definate double hits and phasing even with everything as simplified as I can get it.
Im down to just hihats now for example, and can clearly hear it.
Out of interest, I have even tried setting Ptools to NO midi in or out on the jamstix channel...same thing !

any other thoughts?

many thanks

We had double-hits with an early beta version of the VST/RTAS wrapper but it went away with later versions. What version of the wrapper are you using?

Hi Again

2.11 Fxpansion Wrapper - Protools 7.3.1

Im being VERy thorough here now , and realy paring all optons on jamstix down to nothing....still the same..gotta be something simple LOLOL

My suspicion is that the song positioning info sent from the wrapper to Jamstix is not precise, leading to double execution of notes. Could you do this:

- open jamstix.ini in the Jamstix folder and add these lines anywhere in the [General] section:

Logging=1
FullLog=1

- save the file and run Jamstix a bit (10 bars or so) letting it play double hits

- send me the rzdlog.txt from the Jamstix folder

I'm also a new user and have this exact same issue.

[vsukpadman]

Im sure Ralph will fill you in , but after me sending back and forward various examples and files and trying out some changes , with some EXCELLENT support from Ralph, it would appear that for me it is an issue with the VST-RTAS wrapper, and protools buffer settings.
As I say Ralph will explain Im sure, but rest assured he is trying to fix it as we speak..
Again..great service ...and much appreciated !

hope that helps!

SoundHouseTup: Yes, there is some issue with Jamstix in PT7 that appears to be related to reported buffer sizes and the song positioning data. We do have a fix for the phasing issue that will be in the next update. If you send me an e-mail, I will reply back with a beta DLL. Beyond the phasing, there are still some double-hit issues as well that we are still trying to work-around.

For all non-PT users:This is all PT7/Wrapper related and does not occur in other hosts.
