 Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2005 3:52 pm Post subject: Prospective Jamstix buyer with a few questions- |
 |
|
HI All,
I'm currently in the market for a good midi drum program that has the capabilities to work well with DFHS, which i just purchased. I have a few question, which I hope someone can answer-
Can I program intricate drum patterns that will enable me to use DFHS to it's full potential?
Can I program via drag and drop? or do I have to use an external device such as a midi keyboard or edrums?
When playing back patterns, do the repetative hits on the same drum sound chopped off, which I guess you could call the "machine gun" effect.
Is it possible to send each individual drum to a seperate track in my favorite multi track PC software?
What I'm planning to do is; create patterns/songs in say Jamstix and use DFHS samples to turn the midi files into audio tracks, and then modify each drum in say sonar or protracks 2.5 and then send the individual drum tracks out of my pc via ECHO Gina into my Roland 2480 and perform further tweaking there. I have the capability to Export up to 10 individual track out of the ECHO.
If anyone has any examples (tunes) with intricate drum programming in say the metal or hard rock catagory, advice/info they'd like to share, I would really appreciate it!
I've seached the post archieves and found some info, but not specific enough for what I'm looking for-
Thanks in advance, Bob |

Hi, Bob, and welcome to the board!

Yes, Jamstix is ideal for complex rhythms and supports DFHS extended functions, such as L/R snare and toms.

You can program with the mouse in the Jamstix rhythm editor and/or via MIDI input (keys, edrums etc.)

This is not a problem with the built-in Jamstix sounds nor with high-end libraries (DFHS, BFD).

The internal sounds of Jamstix can be spread across 4-17 stereo outputs. If you use Jamstix with DFHS then DFHS is the defining factors concerning outputs

Yes, you can run Jamstix in Sonar, load DFHS into Jamstix, program you arrangement in JS. When finished just freeze Jamstix which will give you audio clips in all outputs that you can then further process and export.

Sorry for butting in, but I thought I read that in order to load drum sample sets for use with Jamstix, that you had to load your drum samples into a 'separate' sampler like DR-008, Battery etc...then have Jamstix's pre-set or self-created rhythms play that external sampler...?
Am I wrong? If so, great!  |

Yes, you are correct for drum samples (WAV, AIFF etc.). The post you were quoting referred to DFHS which is a sample player.

Special offer is good at least until Christmas. Jamstix 2 will arrive some time in 2006 (Q3 or Q4 likely) and there will be an upgrade path for Jamstix 1 owners.
