Tried the Win 32-bit demo on my Windows XP DAW-only machine but it was crashing when I was trying to load Jamstix v1 or v2. Is it because Jamstix was written in Delphi? It's working fine on T3.

I have no immediate plans to upgrade Jamstix or my DAW OS so this was kind of a dealbreaker for me.

Other than that I have to congratulate Jules and the whole team for bringing our beloved T back to life, fixing long standing bugs and adding exciting new features. Keep up with the good work guys!

PS: cheers to all the oldtimers

just tested it with Jamstix v3 demo and it seems to work fine.

I,m using Xp Home sp3 32bit/ E-mu 1212m PCIe / Intel core i3 2120@3.3Ghz /4G Ram(3.5)
Ati Radeon HD5400 series Graphics Card.
I have Jamstix 3.5 and have no problems with it and T5.

Thanks. Although I'm still with the previous version of Jamstix it's good to know that the latest version works fine with T5.

OK, I won't ask for notation - not directly at least.

But, how about labeling each note with midi note value like Mixcraft 6:

Might be a mess for a zoomed out edit, but for precise editing of fat-fingered notes, I like this idea immensely.

Interesting idea...

I know plugin scanning is on the agenda for improvement, but I have a couple of VSTi which aren't recognised as such in T5 32 & x64 - New Sonic Arts Granite and Audio Damage Phosphor - both latest versions. I can drag them to a track fine but if I whack a midi clip on the track I get the little yellow warning about how the clip doesn't output to a midi track or instrument. Both VSTi work as expected in Live 9.1.

Can anyone confirm?

Ive just tested, and can confirm this happens with Granite (T5 x64/Granite 1.51 x64 / Win7).

Curiously, I discovered it can be made to work, by inserting an empty rack filter in front of Granite. As soon as you do Granite will start outputting audio if its on an 'ungated' patch.
To get MIDI to register in Granite, though, you'll need to join the MIDI in to the MIDI out within the Rack..

More curiously still, if you delete the rack filter again, it keeps working, even the MIDI

Good find, I can confirm the workaround for Granite - and inserting an empty rack (with midi in & out connected) also remedies Phosphor.

Thanks Whyterabbyt.

FR:

Allow a temporally grid view (through a shortcut) which lines up the level meters of all the tracks and makes every filter the same size.

This would be a fast way to get a good overview of all filters for mixing tasks such as leveling multiple tracks.

Also, you should be able to mark tracks, as being a group track, for instance, so that a toggle can be used to display a certain type of track only, like only group tracks, only send tracks, only audio tracks. I know you can colour tracks, but that's really not quite the same.

Reverse not working with .ogg file type.

And, since we're spitballing here, how about if they're directly combinable too? Suppose you have a loop/pseudoloop track containing 6 takes that you did on a Monday, as well as a similar track with 3 takes that you did on the following Wednesday. It would be great to be able to drag-and-drop one track onto the other and end up with a single track containing all 9 takes, which you could then swipe-comp as usual.

Render Track “pass through filter” Inactive.

It looks like this feature isn’t working, as effects are getting included with a render.
I wonder if it would be better for it to default to the off position anyway.

If a simple butt join has been made and I want to combine them into a single audio clip, when the 2 pieces are selected could there not be a simple “glue in place” option in the properties box?

EZdrummer , dragging midi clip from EZ to the edit does not not fill the Bar , you have to drag the clip arrow to the right to fill the Bar still ...

This happens to me too.

Also, when I copied a one bar midi clip I did myself a number of times, some of the clips ended up with an added beat, making it longer and not aligning with the bars.
This, however, hasn't happened in the last few days.

Not sure that is a T5 bug. I think that has to do with how EzD supplies its loops. They don't all fill out the measures IME.

Here’s a clip with 16 Hi Hat hits falling short of the bar. It’s not EDZ, it works fine in Reaper, where the MIDI also shows up as diamonds, still can’t see/find the MIDI in T5..
