Can you send me the Tracktion file?

Hi Ralph

Excuse me if this isn't the proper thread to ask this question. But are you able to elaborate a little more on the missing 'EasyStyle' function (a.k.a. GrooveBuilder).

I'm I right in thinking that I will be able to jam to jamstix with e.g (a bass guitar) then have Jamstix analyse just the bass guitar audio and Jamstix will produce a new (hopefully) tighter drum midi acccompaniment. That would be an excellent feature if true. It might posible be able to response to fluxes in tempo???

Sorry, I know I'm guessing here....

Thanks

bakiki_: "EasyStyle" will initially operate on a hit template that you can tap in. It uses this template to build a groove with several flavors that you can choose from (i.e. Latin, Metal, Funk). Down the road we are hoping to finalize the audio analysis function for it (still working on it). This will create the hit template using a filter/beat analysis.

Tempo fluxes must be issued by the hosts since host/JS are always synched.

Hi Ralph!

Had just a quick install and play- through with JS 3.

Installing went fine, no show- stoppers so far.
Will try to do some more advanced composing and editing later.

Any bugs will of course be emailed directly.

Congratulations, JS 3 will be huge!!

"tighter drum midi acccompaniment. That would be an excellent feature if true'

I am unable to get a 'tighter' drum sound.
Thsi has always been a problem for me. I like the idea of the time being loose for jazz but it seems a little too loose.

I've tried Quantize and compression but still is very loose.

Almost as if the 'drummer' was too concerned about stepping on someone's foot when playing. and is playing around the time.

What can I do to make this change??

Thanks! Jim

Does the beta install "beside" my current version or "over" my current version?

I'd like to participate in the beta but I'm in the middle of some projects and can't afford to potentially hose up things right now..

It installs beside.

The problem is not with Jamstix. It's either your system, your host or you're doing something wrong.
