Jamstix v2.1.4

Changes:

• Added 'Add Tom Groove' to the brain menu, which allows adding an accentuated 16th tom rhythm with a variety of options.
• Bar editor limb menu 'Clear Entire Limb' is now available per bar, part or the whole song.
• Added ability to store up to ten revisions for easy undo, manually or via auto-save feature.
• Added 'Control Only Current Part' option to brain menu. If unchecked, MIDI controllers affect all parts that have appropriate mappings, not just the current part.
• Removed JS1 sound references from several kits and fixed incorrect kick drum reference in one kit.
• Added new options to 'Copy' submenu of the part menu that allow propagating the style or drummer of a part to all other parts of the song.
• Fixed some sub hosted drum modules playing with wrong pitch if project sample frequency is not 44.1 kHz.
• Routing sounds to 'All' now randomly selects new sounds.
• Jamstix2.ini file now supports HiHatController=x setting in subhost sections so that sound modules that use a MIDI controller other than 4 for hihat openness can be supported.
• When saving a part, the default filename is automatically set to the name of the part.
• Improved scaling of brain bitmap backgrounds.
• JS2 will now automatically use CC4 continuous hihat control with DFHS and EZDrummer without ini entry.
• The cell editor and the bar editor drag&drop functions are now consistently blocked if the bar is locked.
• Various modifications to support MetalPak.
• Improved e-drum CC4 behavior for certain drum kits.
