On 11/30/17, Jamstix 4 (PC) will be released and usher in a new and improved installation and updating paradigm with its manager tool. Since updating Jamstix 4 will require little more than three mouse clicks, we have the following plans, post release (aside from finishing the macOS version):

1) We were unable to finalize all the new drummers and styles we had planned. They will be delivered for free in a steady trickle of updates. There will also be more presets for existing styles and drummers as well as new kit presets.

2) The 3D kit features an adjustable 'environment' or 'rooms', as one Beta tester called them. We will release additional environments for free as well.

3) We are considering an optional subscription service for hard-core fans of Jamstix, which would deliver additional models, presets etc. Let us know what you think about such an option.

Thanks for this heads up Matron. I really was excited about Jamstix. But when it would not work on Win10 I just got discouraged and thought the Ralph had given up on his very promising program.

I am so glad he is going forward on this. Heading over there now. Thanks again.

I came 'this close' to getting Mdrummer large during the recent 50% off sale. I am so glad I held off on that now.

Glad to see they will fix up the updating.  This was the worst program for leaving random .dll all around the PC.
 
I stopped using it when it seemed hit or miss whether jamstix would ever open properly in a project.  I will give it another try.

I think this program has huge potential.  I'm really glad to see it updated.  Thanks for the heads-up.

I just confirmed with Ralph (on the forum) that the js3 studio upgrade will be $49 for js4 studio.
 
The only thing I do not own from Rayzoon is those mini packs.
 
Maybe I'll finally take the time to learn Jamstix. I have two weeks off starting Dec 23.

haha there's a definite learning curve! but it really can sound like a human drumming, then mix in a bit of real percussion... meanwhile, i have to scour my less accessible backups to find my reg/download info, i don't have it installed on win10 and it's been a while, and i think i own everything(?)

That 3D image was kind of fun. Prolly a CPU hog though.

they have my 49.00$...I have a lot of packs from them.
 
 

I have been using the beta in Windows 10.  JS 4 is very cool.  There is definitely a learning curve, but if you spend an hour or two, what you can do is pretty crazy.  Plus you can use MIDI output maps or custom kits to easily drive other VSTis.
