Installation
TrackJammer is a desktop program. It keeps projects and settings in a data folder next to the program file, so put the program where you can write files.
Install
- Download the TrackJammer build for your operating system and unpack it into its own folder.
- Keep that folder somewhere you can write to, for example your Documents folder.
- Start the program file. Then connect your hardware as described in MIDI setup.
Note
This manual does not list minimum operating-system versions. Check the download page for them.
The data folder
The first time the program starts, it creates a data folder next to the program file:
| Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
data/config |
settings.json: the global settings, the clock tempo and the hold-EDIT bookmarks |
data/sessions |
Projects, saved as .tjam files: 64 slots per track, 512 in all |
data/presets |
Device presets (input and output subfolders) |
data/logs, data/cache |
Reserved for program logs and temporary files |
data/recordings |
Created, but MIDI recordings are not written here (see Recording and files) |
The stability log goes to data/telemetry, and only while it is switched on in Global > Clock.
Warning
Your projects, scenes and settings live in the data folder. A new program file in a new folder starts with an empty data folder, so copy the old data folder across when you update.
MIDI recordings are not stored in this folder. See Recording and files.
