Anybody use Jamstix

[skankdelvar]

Thinking of shelling out for a software drummer...anyone use this Jamsticks app?

Do you rate it? Is it worth £90 notes?

Cheers

I tried it once - didn't get anywhere with it. But it is reasonably well accepted.

Have you looked at Toontrack's EZDrummer also? Or is it particularly the idea of the software inventing the drum rhythms that you like?

It's the 'cheaper than the others' bit that I like. And, as you say, that it claims not to be based on pre-composed midi patterns.

That and the opportunity to modify the "drummer's" brain.

Ta for the input.

Do you mean Jamstix? was intrigued at the idea so had a search about.

There's a free trial version on [url="http://download.cnet.com/Jamstix/3000-2170_4-10726797.html"]Cnet[/url]. Not had a look yet coz i'm not at home and this crappy mac is only good for browsing the interweb.

That would be the lad. May well go for that trial download...let you know how I get on.

Ta, Skank

Right, I've been running the demo a bit. Something of a brainf**k, but I'll persevere as it sounds very good, except when it decides to go jazz-fusion on me.

Will prob download addictive and groove agent demos too...
