Hi Ralph, since the possibility of assigning accents manually, I´m getting deeper into edting accents and fills. Is there any chance of releasing an SDK soon? Sorry for so many questions, but I´m redoing drums for 15+ songs, so it´s been an intense work with JS.

For awhile, I don´t understand exactly the randomizers section: could you give an example of the syntax to randomize the velocity of an event or the probability of the event playing?

Thanks.

There's no SDK right now or anytime soon, just the http://www.rayzoon.com/jamstix_accent_editing_primer.pdf

You cannot vary the velocity of an event in the RAF file. This is done automatically by the Jamstix GUI settings.

Probability Of Event

[Randomizers]
MyChance=70

[Events]
MyNote=MyChance,0,0,1,0,127,1,1,-2
MyAlternateNote=!MyChance,0,0,1,0,127,1,1,-2

You declare the randomizer with any name you like and give it a percentage (70% in this example). You can then use the randomizer instead of the leading zero in one or more events.

You can also have alternate events by using the ! as a prefix to the randomizer name so the event will only play if the randomizer returns false. The second event above shows that usage.

Ok, got it. The only undocumented setting seems to be ´resolution´, but its use is pretty obvious. Thank you very much.

Yes, resolution was introduced in 1.4 to allow 32nd notes in RAFs. The default tick resolution of Jamstix is 48, which was not sufficient for 32nd notes. Resolution=96 sets it to 96 ticks but remember to double all 48-style tick numbers.

Also, only 48 and 96 are supported at this time.
