Enhancements include:

  • Jamstix can now handle time signature changes within a song.
  • Audio trim knob is now input trim knob and controls MIDI input as well as audio
  • Audio-in velocity map is now input velocity map knob and controls MIDI input response as well as audio
  • Added 'accent suppression' to mode editor to specify a number of bars that should be without snare or tom accents after a fill or intro.
  • Added instant fill, intro and ending triggers to the mode editor
  • Fills and intros are now protected within a live loop (unless on the last bar of the loop)
  • Data is now zipped to reduce project file size by about 300kB
  • Preview is now at host tempo instead of fixed
  • Added 'PowerPlay' MIDI automation parameter
  • Visually improved buttons
  • Tooltips (bubble help) abandoned in favor of status line hint display with higher compatibility and less CPU usage
  • Jam control panel sliders that do not apply to manual jam are now hidden in manual jam
  • Added MIDI automation parameter that can suppress snare and tom accents
  • Bar offset can now be set via ini file (works like bar offsets in Cubase)
  • Console sliders can now be trimmed via ini setting (GainBoost=x with x being a multiplier)
  • Added percentage display to tooltips on various sliders in the jam tab
  • When loading a project with Jamstix in Free Jam mode, the arrangement is no longer reset
  • Expanded manual + 'Free Jam Quick Start Guide' for Sonar, Cubase and Tracktion
  • AudioM8 now supports muting audio source
  • Added logic to detect missing 'accents' folder and prompt the user.
  • MIDI automation toggle parameters now toggle at 50% vs. 0/100% to make editing easier
  • DFHS extra sounds (LRTom, LRSnare) can now be mapped via ini file
  • Reduced disk and memory footprint
  • Jamstix now aborts the module load and prompts the user if a sub-hosted module requires more outputs than Jamstix is set to (still some exceptions)

Bug Fixes:

  • Fuxed chimes offset
  • Fixed several 'Invalid Pointer Operation' errors
  • Fixed pulsating screen refresh when changing fills etc. in the arranger
  • Return-to-zero now works fine in SAVIHost and Chainer Standalone
  • Fixed Jamstix 'forgetting' key word jam settings after GUI close
  • Console outputs shown in use when subhosting now reflect actual outputs in use by module
