Rayzoon Technologies has released a v1.1 update for its virtual drummer VSTi Jamstix. This update includes numerous enhancements, as well as various bug fixes.

Enhancements:

• 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:

• Fixed 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.
