I'm necro-ing this because I still love jamstix , is it still alive ? Are there any alternatives out there ? I like the EZdrummer 3 bandmate feature but need more ! I use to have something called 'slicy drummer' which also used generative percussion rather than static midi ( i believe)

On Rayzoon forums they said they would be working on VST3 compatibility in 2024
Even if the piano player can't play, keep the party going.

I just redownloaded Jamstix after not using it for years - this thread inspired me

The websites working for me. Nothing quite like Jamstix. So many touches, like you can specify how much your virtual drummer plays 'in the pocket', and how they change up their behaviour during a chorus, or loud/quiet sections

Thanks it’s loading for me now. I’ve had Jamstix for a long time but never really got into it. Then MODO DRUM support was added and I was going to try to start using it, but it went dormant soon after. I’d given up hope on it. But maybe we’ll see if M1 and VST3 actually finally happens.
THIS MUSIC HAS BEEN MIXED TO BE PLAYED LOUD SO TURN IT UP

What I don't understand is how Ralph (the developer) went from being very active on the community board to completely absent. He hasn't posted there since Dec. 2021. Since that time, there has been great concern expressed about the future of the product, if Ralph is ok, etc. In recent months, a couple of users have contacted Jamstiz for support and have gotten replies and assurances from Ralph about the future of Jamstix. That's after years of no news of any sort at all.
Why can't the developer be bothered for a few seconds to post about the product on his own forum where he used to be very heavily involved? Just one post?
It completely baffles me.
