Hello, I have bought jamstix, I starting to get deep into this beautiful vsti. I´m interested in work with odd meters, how can I play a jam with 7/8 or 5/4?
Thank you Ralph for such a nice product.
Greetings |

Hi Prosodio and welcome to the board!
Odd time sigs are not directly supported by Jamstix. However, you can get close to it by alternating time sigs in your sequencer. For 5/4, alternate 4/4 and 1/4 measures. For 7/8 try 6/8 + 1/8 but I'm not sure if it will work.

Ralph,
first of all, thanks for bringing us JamStix! It has really brought new life into my music making!
I just started to experiment with odd meters and found that 3/4 + 2/4 often sounds better (to my ears I should say but then I'm not a drummer) than 4/4 + 1/4. It seem to give a more fluent rythm. As an example, load Cat with fast hats and compare.

Yes, that works well, too. Thanks for the tip!

I´ve tried 7/4 and 5/4 signatures and it performs right. I´ve tried with 7/8 (3/8+4/ and it performs as quarter note sigs, not as eights. Is it possible to play eights signatures?
Thank you very much Ralph, I have always hated writting rythms in my sequencer, jamstix makes it much easier, real and fast. Thank you again.

Jamstix wasn't design for anything other than 2/4 4/4 6/8 and 3/4. We are trying to make it "dance" so some things just won't work at this time.
