Here's the Rayzoon press release... Jamstix is a new breed of virtual drum software, which simulates a drummer inside of your
sequencer/host. Unlike most other drum modules, which either provide static MIDI patterns or
an engine that combines pre-recorded MIDI patterns, Jamstix features a state-of-the-art realtime
simulation of a human drummer down to the calculation of the time it takes a drummer
to move an arm from drum A to drum B. This means that arrangements created with Jamstix
are always humanly playable (no ten-armed drummers!) and also always unique and varied
since they are created based on rules and not static patterns.
When Jamstix 1 was released in March of 2005, it was quickly praised for its new and
innovative approach using rule-based groove intelligence. Jamstix 3 takes this approach to
new heights with an improved interface, more styles and drummers and countless new
features and enhancements. The new "song builder" function can create a full drum
arrangement with many parts and fills in seconds and brand-new stock kits offer incredible
realistic sound reproduction.
Jamstix 3 is arguably the most powerful and flexible drummer simulation on the market today.
Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, whether you are in need of a jamming partner
or a drum arrangement tool, a student wanting to learn more about drumming style or a
songwriter needing to create a complex and unique drum track quickly, whether you have no
drum module at all or have every high-end drum library on the market and wish to get the
most realistic grooves out of them, Jamstix 3 is the answer to all of it. Advanced Virtual Drummer
real-time groove composition using dedicated style and drummer modeling (not 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 notes without need for MIDI export/editing in
host
extensive MIDI controller mapping allows in-depth remote-control of the style, drummer
and mixer.
comes with over 60 styles (rock, funk, afro-cuban, blues, jazz, electronica, brazilian,
breakbeat, country, R&B, Motown and many more) and 15 human drummer models,
expandable via future Paks

Integrates With Other Sound Modules
integrated VSTi sub-hosting allows usage of any VSTi drum synthesizer, such as BFD2â„¢,
Superior 2â„¢, EZDrummerâ„¢ and Addictive Drumsâ„¢. 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 sounds! For example,
you can built a kit that uses EZDrummerâ„¢ drums and Jamstix percussion sounds and
cymbals.
flexible key and velocity mapping
Interactive Jamming
Jamstix can interact with your MIDI or audio input by adjusting velocity and using play rules, such
as hihat/ride switching and snare head/sidestick switching as well as rhythm reduction giving you
the feel of playing with a human drummer! E-Drum Support
Jamstix can be used with any e-drum kit and fully supports the TD-20 V-Drums, including
bow/shank hihat, foot splashing, aftertouch cymbal choking and snare position sensing. Supports Your Existing MIDI grooves
Jamstix can import your existing MIDI drum grooves as well as Jamstix 1 rhythms and use them as
styles for playing by the drummer models. This means a static 1-bar MID file grooove comes to live
by being played with the feel, accents and fills of the Jamstix virtual drummers! XL Version - Jazz, Electronic Grooves And More!
Jamstix comes with jazz styles as well as an electronica style, which together with the brushed kit
and electronic kits of the XL version, allow Jamstix to cover a huge range of genres.! Specifications
