I am seeing some differences in the way the brain sliders operate and it seems to be related to which jam mode is active. Running JS 2.2 in Sonar 7, the sliders operate normally in 'Jam - No Input' mode, but are not dragging correctly for me in 'Jam with Audio' mode. In 'Jam with Audio' mode the sliders drag a little then quickly snap back to where they were before the drag started. The snap back happens almost immediately and occurs even before the drag is completed, while the mouse button is still pressed. After releasing the mouse the slider remains at the pre-drag position.

I don't remember this happening in earlier JS2.x versions (but was still learning much so might not have noticed it anyway).

Is this the intended behavior ? .. user error ?

Thanks.

We are unable to reproduce this behavior.

Do you have MIDI CC mapped to the sliders? Does this happen when you just load a quickstart song with no further editing/changes?

Anyone else see this?

I do not have midi CC mapped to the sliders.

I usually begin with a quickstart and then tweak but can't say for sure how much tweaking might have happened before the sliders act like this. I'll create some new projects from scratch and see if I can further isolate/characterize the behavior.

I was able to reproduce the problem on a clean project, just jamstix, audiom8 and a single wav in an audio track. I noticed the slider-snapping was not happening when the input trim slider was at minumum and happened predictably when the trim slider was near max. The power level knob barely moved when the trim slider was at minimum but bounced quite a lot when the trim was at max. Guessing there might be a correlation between redrawing the power level knob and redrawing the sliders (at their last known positions) ? The slider snapping effect is much less likely to occur when I make rapid click-drag-release movements but is repeatable if I hold the mouse button down for a while .. i.e. long drag times.

Here is what I did to reproduce:
- start new Sonar project
- load wav file into audio track 1
- insert audiom8 into track 1 fx bin
- load jamstix 2.2.2 Beta 1
- select quickstart jazz
- set jamstix to Jam with Audio
- press play to start Sonar playback
* sliders work fine so far
- move input trim slider near max
- observe power level knob movement
- click and hold brain slider, drag slowly
* observe slider snapping to original position and occasionally snapping to position under mouse.

I see I am using audiom8 1.5 but a forum search tells me I should be using 1.6 .. will replace and report back.

EDIT: Updated audiom8 to 1.6, still observing slider snapping on the brain sliders. The sliders on the main panel (Timing, Min Dyn, Shuffle) do not exhibit the snapping behavior, nor does the bar slider at the bottom.

Thanks Ralph.

Confirmed. We'll fix that ASAP. Thanks for the catch!
