Jamstix 1.0 Virtual Drummer Released

Rayzoon Technologies is pleased to announce the release of its ground-breaking virtual drummer VSTi. Jamstix will run sync'ed inside of your sequencer/host and jam with your MIDI play (or even audio-in signal) using its innovative free jam mode where rhythms are created on-the-fly. It also offers jamming based on an extensive rhyhtm library as well as creating professional drum tracks complete with intro, fills and ending with its easy-to-use built-in arranger.

Incredibly realistic drumming with just a few mouse clicks thanks to features such as velocity variance, auto-cymbals, random accents, probable notes and automatic switch rules, such as ride over hihat on high velocity, sidestick over snare on low velocity, no-ghosting on low velocity etc.

Jamstix has its own drum sound engine but can also host any of your existing VSTi drum modules, such as BFD and DFH Superior.
