Jamstix 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.

Jamstix 2 is a near-complete rewrite of the original Jamstix. It boasts an easier-to-use interface, in-depth style and drummer modeling and many enhancements.

New in v2.5.1

• Fixed a bug causing data not to be saved to the host anymore after composing fill with either snare or tom focus being zero.
• Fixed freezing when right-clicking on brain controls to assign MIDI controller.
• Fixed MIDI export and drag-&-drop always using channel 1.
• Fixed problems when trying to preview drum kits with a Jamcussion kit already being loaded.
• Fixed MIDI LEARN mode not writing to selected brain (drums or percussion).
• Fixed incorrect bongo/conga mapping in 'Map GM' mode.
• Fixed 'No 16th Shuffling' fill option not saving correctly to project file.
• Fixed internal sounds not playing under certain circumstances.
• Kit editor sound edit groupings are now remembered for the duration of the session.
• Improved MIDI import in EZX Percussion mode.
• Improved fill focus behavior with snare or tom knob at zero.
• MIDI LEARN now works in bar preview mode as well.
• All actions that lead to a skipped event now display the reason in the status bar when the mouse is moved over the event in the bar editor.
• Double-clicking on empty cell in the bar editor now adds the most common sound for the limb.
• Double-clicking on used cell in the bar editor now removes the event.
• Added 'Start Crash' option to the fill controls to add a crash cymbal on the last heavy tick before the fill.
• Added ini option 'REAPERBypass' to suppress any data save to REAPER unless the CTRL key is depressed. This should only be used if a user is annoyed by delays caused when REAPER continually asks Jamstix for the save data.
