Hi Ralph,

The Jamstix 1 grooves are not composing properly in any time signature greater than 4/4. I had noticed this in earlier builds but forgot to report it.

They've always composed only to the length of the original pattern. I'll see what we can do for the next update.

OK thanks Ralph.

This is actually a neat idea, Azimuth. I've been prototyping a selectable wrap point in 16th on the importer. So, if your imported groove is in 4/4 but your song is in 6/4, you'd set it to 'Wrap at 16' and the pattern would wrap after 16 ticks (=4/4) so the whole bar is filled. However, if you set it to let's say 14, the pattern will repeat after 14 ticks, before it is finished, which yields some interesting variations.

That does sound very interesting Ralph, I can see where that would be quite capable of creating some very strange rhythms. Great idea as usual.
