I've never used the MIDI export feature before, so I can't say if this is new with 3.6 or not. Anyway...

My exported MIDI files have some sections blank (looks like one full rep of a part each time) and don't actually render the entire song - I'm working on a four minute project and the MIDI file only has the first minute or so.

Project: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7231524/Death%20On%20Black%20Wings.j2d

MIDI: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7231524/Death%20On%20Black%20Wings.mid

I had the same thing happen with a completely different project last night as well. Re-rendering gives the exact same length and missing sections.

I'm running Windows 8 x64, Reaper 4.62 x64, Jamstix 3.6 x32 if it's of use.

Cheers.

Hi Loka_senna,

Did you try dragging and dropping the JS song to a track in Reaper? That's what I do and it works perfectly. I've never used the export in JS either.

I've actually never been able to drag/drop from Jamstix, over a few different OS/DAW/JS setups. No idea why.

Hi Loka_senna,

Drag & drop was just reintroduced in v.3.6 so that might be part of the reason it didn't work for you before. Ctrl+left drag the song title (or song part) to your track in Reaper should work. If not, it's time for Ralph.

Good to know. I didn't even realize we'd ever had it before it got taken away :/

Unfortunately, I'm getting the same result with dragging. Trying it on another song just now, I got a MIDI item with the right overall length but only the last section had any notes.

That sucks. If Ralph doesn't see this thread by Monday I would send an e-mail direct to support@rayzoon.com describing the problem. Sometimes these threads get lost in the shuffle.

Are you sure JS has had a chance to compose the entire song? As the brain composes it on the fly, some parts that were never actually played might still be "empty".

Aha, that did it. I've definitely played through the whole song before, and the parts all had notes in the timeline view at the bottom left, but I guess fiddling with some of the earlier parts and adding/removing a section or two must have reset everything after that.
