I agree. I have voted for Jamstix as best software on several KVR Readers' Choice awards over the years. That said, the interface is far from user-friendly, and I can't understand why Ralph leaves it this way. The logic has been the same (I think) since Jamstix 2, which I owned back in 2009; it's just received more drummer-related features over the years.Crholdin wrote: Mon Jan 25, 2021 10:40 pm Rayzoon Jamstix 4
It is the ONLY virtual drummer and drum programmer with so many capabilities, that its shame no one uses it
What I think should be done is a DAW-friendly version, that simply lets one get a good drum beat, with occasional fills etc, the thing that differentiates Jamstix from the ever-repeating patterns of (yawn) Toontrack kits etc. Also, I'd like better control over deviation from the standard groove, as I feel even "James Stix" is too wild for a pop song.
...so an entire overhaul of the front panel (make it clean and integrate the two lists on today's front panel to avoid confusion), remove the 3D kit and other bells'n'whistles to differentiate from the big version, rebrand it as Jamstix DAW, and sell it for fifty bucks. That should do it!
Well, personally I'd try to pitch the rebranded version to Steinberg, so that they could include it in Cubase under their own name. It's logics is truly spectacular (though over a decade old). I'd say version 2 would have qualified for the TEC Award (much more so than this year's winners).
