Rayzoon – Jamstix 2.2.1 (VST) [Win x86 x64]

Jamstix is 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 real-time 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.

The “song builder” function can create a full drum arrangement with many parts and fills in seconds and the included sample engine offers incredibly realistic sound reproduction.

Various expansions are available for Jamstix, including hand percussion, linear groove composition, Metal kits/drummers and much more.

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 is the tool for you.

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 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.

High Quality Sounds:

• Built-in high-quality drum sample player with multiple velocity layers and controllable ambience.
• Built-in mixer with FX.
• Extensive sound library that can be expanded via expansion Paks.

Integrates With Other Sound Modules:

• Flexible mapping allows ‘driving’ of other drum plugins, such as BFD, Superior, 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 sounds. For example, you can built a kit that uses EZDrummer drums and Jamstix percussion sounds and cymbals.

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 groove comes to live by being played with the feel, accents and fills of the Jamstix virtual drummers.
