BUMP -

7 days left and it's already halfway there!

A little more info......

We are pleased to announce our first group-buy ever! This is your chance to save up to 50% on the Jamstix Jamboree bundle! Starts 04/17/07 and ends 05/13/07.

The group-buy includes Jamstix, DrumPak #1, DrumPak #2, BrushPak, SnarePak and ePak. You will also be eligible for a FREE upgrade to Jamstix 2, when it is released in a few months. Furthermore, 4Front has agreed to honor cross discount coupons for their excellent TruePianos plugin even at the group-buy price so all participants are eligible for a $51 discount on TruePianos as well!

If you want the piano plugin, you will save most of the cost of the Jamstix group buy.

It comes with a free upgrade to Jamstix 2
Here are some planned features in the upgrade

Here's the official skinny on Jamstix 2:

Estimated Release Date: July 2007

Upgrade Price For Jamstix 1.x Owners: 60% discount off regular price

At this point, the main changes from Jamstix 1 will be:



Style Modeling - styles will be intelligently modeled

Player Modeling - on top of the selected style, player models will introduce habits and idiosyncrasies

Simplicity - the interface will be easier to use...and prettier

Structure - the arranger will be section-based rather than bar-based so the structure of a song can be easily defined and handled.

Odd Time Signatures - we've got some good stuff coming in that arena

Sound Flexibility - the kit control will be easier to use and even more flexible (i.e. mixing internal and external sounds)

Sample Caching - internal samples can now be cached (load on demand)

Visual Kit - visual kit with hit animation and edit links

Enhanced Limb Control - includes exact triangulating of drum distances and speed calculations, same-drum transition times as well as look-ahead priority filtering

MIDI Drag&Drop - song, part or bar MIDI can now be dragged and dropped into the host

Groove Timing - sophisticated style-based groove timing will increase realism

Controller Mapping - instead of VST automation, many functions can be mapped to a controller for greater flexibility. This includes assigning multiple functions to one controller and the ability to inverse the control range

3-Band EQs (Mixer) - EQ settings are stored with the kits as well

Sweet! That's a killer deal. It looks like they're about in the middle tier right now so if they get a stack of new buyers, you can get Jamstix, Jamstix 2 and all of the sample/expansion paks for $69.00

I've played with the Jamstix demo a lot, and I think now is the time to jump on this puppy.

You really get alot for the price...
