Default Sync option request - sync timeline to NINJAM [DONE - implemented]

Justin,
is there any chance to add SYNC option to ReaNINJAM client plugin, that will keep ninjam session tempo (+start/stop) synced with timeline of the Reaper. It is main reason why to use Jamtaba, but it offers so much more that if not needed is simply better to use included ReaNINJAM plugin.

Consider it,please.

Maybe another better description - instead quite opposite and simplier:

- allow timeline Play button to sync to the first click of next ReaNINJAM interval ??

Then, if tempo set accordingly in Reaper and NINJAM, they would stay in sync automatically

JamTaba uses the Reaper VST API to tell Reaper to do the right thing, so it's possible .

Hi ozprog,
sync options (including set timeline tempo and loop selection from ninjam bpm and bpi) are already included in the latest 6.07+dev0401, 6.07+dev0402 and 6.08rc2 pre-releases

This is a great addition having the session start playing automatically in sync!

Clearly the client and server drift over time however, so wonder if the option to repeatedly jump to the start would be feasible? Or if this could be mapped to a vst param, we could then invoke it each time we get near the end of a measure..

If the server emitted timecode this could also work, as rapper already syncs to external clocks I think. Thoughts?

"1" is maintained by the client. Server time is irrelevant.

Hmmm, interesting, I haven't tried official v6.08 yet, but v6.08rc1 and even v6.08rc2 pre-releases, both, when started on spot, they played here in perfect sync for nearly more than half an hour.

Do you have tempo set correctly?
Which audio driver is Reaper using (ASIO, WASAPI, DirectX...)?
What buffersize is set in audio settings?
Can you try those "rc" pre-releases?

I highly recommend you to read whole thread (2 posts actually, direct from developer team) to be familiar what to expect from pre-release versions!

EDIT: Hint - the older versions/releases (pre, rc, official, +dev) are in "old" subfolder.

I've just tried and also kept in sync so apologies I needed to do a bit more homework before reporting this.

The last project had a bit of delay before start, potentially due to heavy VST's so I've tried disabling preemptive FX and so far it seems to be okay.

Thanks very much for the help!
