The big question I have is what new styles and drummers have been added and which will be seen as part of the release and which post-release?

Please, no subscriptions

Pay for upgrades yes, subscription model no. My one experience with a subscription was very bad, with the product effectively crippled once I stopped paying. The problem is that the terms can be changed over the course of the subscription, and you can either take them or leave them, no negotiation. Not saying Ralph would do that, but it does happen. I can't see any advantage for customers in software subscription models; if you want to spread the cost, just open a savings account.

I personally have no problem with the subscription idea the way that Ralph has proposed it. As Ralph has stated, it is completely optional and in no way affects Jamstix or its expansions. Canceling doesn't disable any items that were added while subscribed. I don't see any down side to it if someone is interested. Just my opinion.

Looks like somebody needs to update the Jamstix drummer list.
Gavin Harrison?
Dylan Elise?
Gary Novak?
Can anybody with Jamstix 4 confirm?
Two teaser videos on the Jamstix YouTube channel now Smile

Will I be able to make my own drummer?

IOW, using a blank drummer style, will I be able to customize this drummer to my own feel/groves?

I'm not a fan of subscriptions.

The only rational I see from a user perspective would be that you get stuff earlier than "we got enough to make them an expansion" or as usual : price.

So 4$/month for 12 months=48$ but expansion with all the same stuff for 59$ on the 15th month would make subscription a bit more appealing.

I understand the steady income from subscription for the developer but "not knowing what or when extras are coming" is a big turn off for me. I would probably wait for the 15th month in my scenario to see if it's worth it and pay the additional 10$.

There's something creepy for me in the subscription model.

Thanks for the reply Ray. That's what I remember about JS3 and what really got/gets me excited about using this program.

Again waiting on release date.
