hi,
nice program it's exatly what i was lookin for ;)...
in a feature version it think it would a nice idea to put an intern audio converter in it a kind of import function that your mp3 wav or other format directly converts to the wright format ..

Yes, finally something to facilitate transfering loops!
So, I was trying to organize loops only in the right field by clicking and dragging within it or otherwise trying to move a loop to another bank. I encountered a couple of errors. The error screen said "File name cannot be null". I had a hard time duplicating the error though and I assume it only happens when you try to mave a file to a bank that was just recently deleted (before refreshing).

I also encountered an error while trying to delete multiple files within the right field:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

configuration
system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" /
/configuration

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Now these errors only occured while working within the right side of the program and I would have to restart the application as a result.

Cheers!

Hi, it's me again.

I just encountered another buggy thing. I noticed that after deleting some banks that the tempo button (on that empty bank) would be flashing extremely fast as if the tempo was set to 2000 or something. I noticed that through normal transfer (before loopertools) that the tempo would be a rediculous number if it wasn't set and saved to a specific number and upon deleting it would remain the same but with no flash. Perhaps upon deletion with loopertools, the xml file could be overwrtitten with a generic blank file that avoids the super flashy tempo button problem...why, if the bank is empty, would the tempo button be flashing in the firstplace?


Okay, just thought of a couple of suggestions to make the program a bit friendlier:

1) a status/transfer bar - so you know the program is thinking while moving around, saving or importing/refreshing.

2) a mono and wav format check - something to ensure that the files are mono (jamman can't play stereo files) and at the right format (only plays standard pcm; not dsp, gsm or adpcm - for those using adobe audition or wavelab to create loops).

That's it for now...I'm sure to have more...

I'd like to see a small amount of loop editing. Nothing crazy, just a simple time stretch to adjust the loop tempo. Maybe that's there and I couldn't find it. but I think it would be a huge feature as this machine is a great transcribing tool, but the tap tempo is not as accurate as the click of a mouse. A status/transfer bar would be dope too. thanks

Thanks for the feedback guys. Have you downloaded Beta 2 and given it a shot? There is a extensive status reporting and hopefully the copying bug has disappeared.

It would be sweet if This would work for mac os x. I tried everything possible and I haven't ever even made it to the opening screen one time.
