Hi Zauni,

I have to say that this is very close to just what I have been looking for, but there are a few things I'd like to mention. These may well be do to pilot error, or things discussed in the manual, but here goes:

1. For the love of god, where is the stop button? The minute I load demo, it starts running. Is this a limitation of the demo? The bar/measure meter just keeps running and running. This is making it far more difficult to set-up an arrangement. I REALLY want to see a start and stop button next to the back/forward buttons in the measure section.

2. How about the ability to set start and end points? This would make creating arrangements vastly easier when using chainer, etc. You could have a section loop. Currently, I set "end" at measure 9 but it keeps going. I may be doing something wrong, though...

3. Can shuffle be a slider and not a button. Currently, it seems to be all or nothing.

4. The ability to copy and paste objects in arrangement screen would be a fantastic usability boon. Would be far easier to copy and paste a fill or end that have to recreate it. Again, I just may be missing something.

5. Ability to load your own VST compressor in place of internal compressor would be great.

6. Any way to see the intro, fill and end buttons and menus from the arrangement screen? The ability to do that would be an enormous usability boost.

Despite all these comments, make no mistake: I am very excited by this plugin! There are just a few things that I am having problems with. Smile

I just answered this post in the KvR forum but I'll copy the response here too:

Hi MickGael,

thanks for your kind words. First, let me say that we will continue to refine the interface of Jamstix based on user feedback such as yours. Now let me address some of your comments in more detail:

Quote:

Where is the stop button?

Jamstix syncs to your host so it is assumed that you would start and stop there. We will consider additional controls within Jamstix if we get lots of requests for it, though.

Quote:

That's a sensitive subject for many Smile
The thing is that many people have gotten used to shuffle and swing sliders in various programs but I have yet to meet a human drummer that thinks and plays like that. When a drummer shuffles, it means that he will play notes between quarters as if they were laid on a triplet grid. There's nothing in between. The only thing 'to slide' in terms of a human drummer is the pocket, that's the slight delay that some drummers put on the snare (mostly) to accentuate the groove, Jamstix does have extensive pocket controls.

It's just a different approach with different results, much more aligned with the thinking of most human drummers

We agree. We will collect more user feedback on the arranger and then implement the most requested features.

Just put the compressor of choice on the Jamstix outputs in your host.

We see the point and we'll look into that.

Thanks for your suggestions and happy jamming!

PS: I just listened to some of your music and find it very stimulating! I especially like 'King' and 'Confessional'[/i]
