Installed 2022 last night and am just starting to play with it today.
Impressed with the general offering this year, PGM seem to have been listening.
Also very grateful for the 20% tax gesture.

On playing about with Drum Stems I notice a couple of things.
(to keep it simple all tests are from the Americana set with 7 stems each.)

1. Loaded Mix and Stems of AmericanaSlow128Fred into 32 bars at default setting, i.e. Substyle A, Chord C, set tempo to 60

2. When RDrums picker is first opened Stems box needs to be checked for the chosen style before pressing OK, but if I move off this to another style Stems box needs to be checked again.
After generating if I re-open the RDrums picker all styles with stems are checked by default.

3. Auditioned each Stem separately and find there is a lot of bleed in from the Snare in the Cymbal and Toms Stems. For example there is not a massive difference between the HH Stem and the Mix, is this normal?

4. I reset the Substyle to A & B alternating every 4 bars and regen.
The Mix changed but the Stems didn't. F7 revealed that all the stems are frozen by default when first generated and can only be unfrozen one at a time in the F7 page.
The Stems Freeze buttons on the mixer are deactivated.
When unfrozen the stems will regen, but this is a tedious process.

5. Changed drums style to Americana16thsSyncFred and, as expected, on regen, Mix changed but Stems didn't. When unfrozen Stems will regen to Americana16thsSyncFred, but are still named as AmericanaSlow128Fred.
In F7 I erased the stems, again one by one, but these did not regen until I entered and exited the Drum Picker, regen was correct, but Stems still named as AmericanaSlow128Fred.

While I welcome the introduction of Stems and see a lot of potential, I hope that the above are teething problems to be addressed.
