Jamstix

This ground-breaking virtual drummer VSTi runs synchronized with your sequencer and features in-depth real-time modeling of various styles as well as human drummers with their own habits, accents and fill characteristics. Together, they can create thousands and thousands of realistic drum performances, each one editable down to the last hit thanks to the built-in limb-centric bar editor.

This drum simulation is complemented by a high-quality sample player with up to 4GB of samples (Studio version) as well as a VSTi subhost that can 'drive' your favorite drum module with the brain power and arrangement functionality of Jamstix 3.

Features:
- real-time groove composition using dedicated style and drummer modeling. No static patterns!
- in-depth drummer limb simulation, including triangulation of hand movements, ensures that the grooves are always humanly playable (no ten-armed drummer here).
- advanced feel modeling includes sound-specific pocket delays, power and timing variations and can play ahead, on or behind the beat.
- real-time fill generator produces unique fills (no static patterns used!) that match the style and drummer in use.
- streamlined interface with visual drum kit for editing as well as just watching the drums play.
- part-based arranger with transition and repetition fills, liveloop technology as well as drag-&-drop MIDI export.
- limb-centric bar editor allows fine-tuning of events without need for MIDI export/editing in host.
- extensive MIDI controller mapping allows in-depth remote-control of the style, drummer and mixer.
- built-in mixer with compressor and 3-band EQ.
- comes with 70 styles (rock, funk, afro-cuban, blues, jazz, electronica, brazilian, breakbeat, country, R&B, Motown and many more) and 17 human drummer models, expandable via future Paks.
- built-in high-quality drum sample player with multiple velocity layers and controllable ambience.
- alternate samples remove machine-gun effect by varying sounds at the same velocity.
- sophisticated layering creates realistic sound accumulations based on drum types.
- route sounds to 4-17 stereo outputs (adjustable).
- extensive sound library (1.3GB) that can be expanded via expansion Paks.
- integrated VSTi sub-hosting allows usage of any VSTi drum synthesizer, such as BFD™, DFHS™, EZDrummer™ and Addictive Drums™. Combine the sounds of your favorite drum plugin with the jam power and realism of Jamstix!
- allows creating kits that use a mix of external sounds and Jamstix 3 sounds! For example, you can build a kit that uses EZDrummer™ drums and Jamstix 3 percussion sounds and cymbals.
- flexible key and velocity mapping.
