we could meet in the middle - somewhere north of Erfurt ?
Better not tell Ralph about it, though ... meeting in the middle with him we might end up with wet feet. Crying or Very sad

Lol, Rhino

Absolutely no problems with some freebies here, either. Wink

My post wasn't intended as a direct reply to yours, Geoff, more in general as this thread seems to collect several different ideas and wishes from us users concerning rhythms.
Have a nice day,
Rhino

Excellent points from everyone! I don't mind paying for them, I payed for midi loops from another company, but would've much rather spent my money here, and I'm sure Ralph would rather keep it here. Since this was such an excellent idea, I wouldn't mind an excellent discount! lol

Sorry to seem to beat a dead horse to death on this topic, but I was wondering how soon we might be able to see this happen. I am in the middle of many projects and three of the projects and their clients to do not want to go to the trouble of hiring and paying a live drummer for their demo albums. One album is rock (more southern rock feel), one album is contemporary gospel (mostly ballad styles), and the third is a country album. I would be more than glad to pay $15-$20 per group of rhythms (and from earlier post in this thread many others would also look forward to these) for a folder with some country styles that would cover most of the basics of country, another folder with same thing with ballad styles, and another folder with styles same thing with southern rock styles. Because of a combination of I am an imbecile when it comes to anything about drums (programming or playing) and I have just bought this program yesterday so I do not know how hard it is for people like the developer of the program and other master users on this forum who are obviously very talented at drums rhythms and programming them into jamstix, which you can see from the styles already created and by the demos songs on the Home page. But I do not know how long this would take even with people of this skill level. So what I am asking may be impossible and stupid to think it could be done, so if it is forgive a newb for asking a stupid question. I need these in the next two weeks which is the date that these three projects are needing to be wrapped up. It would be awesome if you could do this before then, but if not I would still buy those 3 months down the road, because I am in love with this program
Well if you could let me know if in the next week or so is it possible for a batch of new styles to be built in these three categories, more categories if possible, and what I would owe you for them, but as I said, if not, I will wait however long need be. I certainly am not asking you to try to do this if it would in anyway take away time you need to be doing other things for this product that will help the whole group instead of just a smaller amount of us that would like these styles. I only ask you to do this if you have time with out taking away from anyone else’s needs. Especially do not take time away from JamBassist whe we are all dieng to see in action after your track record with what you did with drums and drumstix.

May God Bless Your Day
Thank You Very Much

Hi Russell,
Rhythm packs won't be addressed until after the JamBassist release.

However, there will be some more rhythms and fills in the Jamstix 1.6 update, which should be released around May 8th. Some of the rhythms will be grouped in sets, one of them is a shuffle set that may come in handy for your needs.

Sorry that we cannot fulfill your needs quickly on a pay basis but we are very busy with JamBassist, ePak and JS 1.6.

Russell, have you already gone through the preset rhythms delivered with Jamstix systematically?
I think there might be already everything in there to fulfill your needs.
Maybe you have to build some alterations to pre-existing rhythms, but that should be all you have to do.

Thanks for your answers. Yes I have checked out most all of the rhythms and mostly like someone else said earlier I found closest to what I was looking for in the category :basic: set of rhythms. I can do I believe very well programing the kick an snare I want in the Jamstyx page, but where I am really lacking is in programing the high hats, which in my opinion on most drum patterns this is where most of your feel and style comes from. Example you can take a basic kick on 1 and 3 and snare on 2 and 4, and by changing the high hat patterns build tons of rhythms that are totally different without changing the kick and snare. I am studying the manual and I am learning but like I said earlier I do not know much about programing drums period not being a drummer and I aslo am having trouble understanding how using the different funtions in the two columns under high hats to get what I am looking for. But no matter what this program is awsome. All my clients who have heard it said they could not tell the difference in it and if I had recorded drums live. Hopefully that is a compliment to Jamstyx and not a put down of my drum recording skills (Ha. Ha.) since I have been doing this professionally for years. Looking forward to the new rythms in 1.6. , Jambassist, and future ryhthms when you get time after completing Jambassist.

May God Bless Your Day,
Russell

Russell, it´s very easy to see (or hear) what the columns are for in the Hihat control.
Just take a basic rhythm that you like, go to the rhythm tab and watch the Hihat control. You see how the Hihat pattern is build up, you can even solo it.
Now you only have to click differently, drag a bit for different volume and: Voilà, you´ve just built the first alteration to a pre-existing rhythm.
Save it and you´re done.
It´s that easy. No need to be a skilled programmer here.
