Rayzoon's ground-breaking virtual drummer VSTi runs synchronized with your sequencer and jams 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 rhythm 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 thanks to new technologies such as limb assignment, transition times and interactive play rules. Advanced audio engine with 380MB of multi-velocity samples and controllable ambience but can also host any of your existing VSTi drum modules, such as BFD and DFHS.
* A VST acoustic drum brain that can jam with you and your music like a human drummer would. Recognizes what and how you play and interacts with you to give you very realistic drum tracks. Steroids for your creativity!
* Built-in high-quality drum sample player with up to 9 velocity layers, controllable ambience and bounce samples
* Integrated VST sub-host allows usage of any VSTi drum synthesizer, such as BFD™, NI Battery™ and DFH Superior™. Combine the sounds of your favorite drum plugin with the jam power and realism of the jamstix brain!
* Extensive, unparalleled jamming capability. Analyzes MIDI input as well as audio input (with limitations) in real-time and develops rhythms and adjusts parameters instantaneously, giving you the feel of playing with a human drummer
* Limb-Priority-Control mechanism ensures that the output is at all times playable by a human drummer. You can layer rhythms and fills and accents as you wish and never have to worry about whether the result sounds realistic
* Built-in arranger allows easy control of rhythms,intros,fills and endings in sync with your sequencer
* Easy-to-use but powerful rhythm controls allow you to modify or create rhythms. Comes with a library of hundreds of rhythms ready to use
* Choose between free jam mode which creates new rhythms from scratch in real-time or key word jam, which is based on preset rhythms selected through key words
* 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.
* Extensive pitch and velocity mapping allows the adaptation of any key layout
* Over 30 MIDI-automation parameters allow control of various aspects of Jamstix by the host sequencer
* LiveLoop technology for reliable and structured live performances with control over song sections sequence and repetition via key or foot controller
* Four separate outputs with compression. Jamstix supports an additional twelve outputs as pass-through outputs to sub-hosted VSTi that require it
* MIDI output to host sequencer as well as export to MIDI file for maximum flexibility
* VSTi 2.0 compliant virtual instrument with 4 to 16 separate outputs and MIDI-to-host output
* Sub-Host for a single VSTi (compatibility to specific products is not guaranteed. Use the demo to test prior to purchase) with full recall capability
* Internal sample playback engine with 370MB of drum samples including bounce samples and controllable per-sample ambience
* "Alive" rhythm library with 250+ rhythms and 100+ accents, fills, intros and endings
* Full-featured rhythm editor
* 1000-bar arranger in sync with host sequencer to control rhythm changes, intros, fills and ending
* Flexible Input-Output MIDI mapping with velocity translation to match any VSTi key layout and character
* Metronome with voice count and stick sound
* Supported sample rates: 44.1 - 96 kHz
* Copy protection: License Key
* Windows XP or 2k (Windows ME and 98SE are not supported but should work)
* P3 or Athlon 500MHz CPU (2GHz+ recommended)
* 512MB RAM
* 500MB free hard drive space
* VSTi 2.0 compliant host

Version 1.6 - 5/1/2006
* 'Load Mapping' dialog now offers filtering, previewing and mapping contents listing
* added 'Random' button to mapping tab to randomize kick, snare and hihat selections
* added 'eMode' for use with ePak
* added 12 fills and 24 rhythms
* 8th shuffle play now suppresses 16ths before quarters leading to better fitting fill and accent performances
* when repeating an audio free jam, Jamstix now maintains decisions and repeats the jam identical unless 'Clear Arrangement' is used
* MIDI key D5 (#86) now chokes the last hit crash, splash or china cymbals
* right-click on a rhythm name in the arranger now opens a menu with the options to load, name, remove or move the rhythm
* added new jam habit: if all quarter hihats are semi or open, notes generated by the 'Eighths' and 'Sixteenth' boxes will use semi instead of closed sounds
* added fill filters/limits to allow simplification of fill playback via an icon next to the 'Fill Frequency' slider.
* improved voice reduction quality
* added arrows to sample list for easy 'step-through'
* improved semi hat, open hat and tom voice concurrency (apparent choking) with higher voice reduction levels
* increased limb transition time to the hihat when playing fills, intros or endings
* improved limb assignment logic to avoid high priority note dropping under certain circumstances
* suppresses rhythm change crash when switching muted rhythms
* added 'Mute Brain' automation parameter to allow manual silencing without choked notes
* single-bar liveloops are now possible
* rhythm changes to a rhythm with no kick on beat 1 will no longer allow the change crash/kick combo to be played
* the preset menu for sub-hosted VSTi is now updated whenever the 'Preset' button is clicked
* the following default values can now be set in the jamstix.ini file:
o FillFrequency
o CymbalFrequency
o Accentuation
o Complexity
o Funkiness
* when locking a rhythm that is not active in the arranger with Jamstix paused, Jamstix no longer switches to the active rhythm
* Jamstix now remembers last directory a sound DLL was loaded from
* Jamstix no longer loads support data when scanned by Cakewalk VST adapter
* latency is now continuously updated to avoid synch problems when latency is changed in the host while JS is open
* when used in Logic, a BarOffset of 10 is now automatically used
* mapping sample list now remembers last selection
* optional 'Accentuation' and 'CymbalFrequency' ini parameters now also influence default rhythm settings of accent and cymbal sliders
* mouse-over on hihat slots now shows velocity information
* implements some JamBassist integration
* funkiness can now be controlled via controller 50 and complexity via 51. Note that using these controllers makes the jam session un-repeatable so you need to record the Jamstix MIDI output if you want to capture the performance
* fixed internal sounds loading when LateWSLoad active but 'MIDI Out Only' specified
* fixed voice release issues at very high latencies
* fixed closed hats playing at full velocity when choking semi or open hats
* fixed MIDI export BPM rounding issue
* fixed 'Always Ride' automation
* fixed only toms 1 and 5 being used with external sounds
* fixed volume displays including other outputs when using multi-out mapping
* fixed percussion checkboxes not showing active status when clicked with right mouse button
* fixed some missing note-off events in MIDI export and output when 'MIDI-Out Only' is active and some under circumstances are given
