Just had a quick test of pre7 under OS 11.3 32bit and wrt to pyjacksm
its still behaving the same as pre6- sometimes JACK MIDI connects but
most of the time it doesn't. I do wonder if its possible to get pyjack
to start yoshimi after A3 or last in the session (atm yosh starts
first but maybe thats just because A3 takes longer to load) if that
would ensure the JACK MIDI connection gets formed correctly every
time?

Yep, the restoration of midi yoshi's connections with pyjacksm is unreliable,
As best I can tell so far, qjackctl does manages to restore them reliably.
On the strength of that, I'm arguing that yoshi's JS handling is ok. I'm wide
open to correction on that though.

I forgot to mention that the J2 used in opensuse 11.3 (1.9.5) is too
old to feature JS so I had to compile J2 from svn (1.9.7) to get
session support under A3 and Yosh.

As far as I know, there hasn't been a release of jack2 with jack session
support
yet, it only exists in svn. No way it'll be in the major distros yet.

To some extent 0.060 has a sense of being a non-event. Apart from Unison,
there's
not much to justify it's existence over 0.058.1 The whole jack session thing
is
real nice and real promising, but it's going to be a while before it features
in
mainstream activities. The mid control stuff I'm playing with in 0.062 is far
more interesting in the short term, and I want to concentrate on getting that
functional.

cheers.

As a non-session user, this works fine on my DAW - and I've just designed my
first patch that uses Unison :)

On my office machine (sempron in 32bit mode) I have a strange problem. If I try
to load either Master Synth High, or Master Synth Low the audio system frezzes,
and dissapears from jack. all GUI stuff still seems to work (even changes
voices again) but I can get no sound, nor can I quit Yoshi without forcing in
with a kill command. It only ever happens with these two patches. They are the
only ones with a four part kit (Hyper Matrix is three part).

I wonder if this is a memory problem.
