Jamcussion - Brief Teaser MP3

sammy24 · Post by **sammy24** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 11:15 am

just wanted to suggest some kind of tutorial or guide to the understanding and usage of different percussion instruments, and styles. There is obviously a lot to learn, and since each instrument is individual and unique, ppl could probably gain the most if they had more understanding of the role each one usually plays, etc., types of rhythms.

The demos sound very good. I'm really looking forward to this expansion.

There's a good bodhrÃ¡n sample available at [url]http://www.fmjsoft.com/[/url] (under "SF2 Instruments") ... you can sub-host a Soundfont player and trigger it from Jamstix.

I was using Jamstix recently to trigger Tsaiko (an [b:82e0b5d0ce]excellent[/b:82e0b5d0ce] sample library of Japanese taiko drums for Kontakt) and I was surprised by how well it worked. Unfortunately with the limited number of limbs I could only trigger the single-patch ensembles.... so I can't wait until Jamcussion comes out and I can use it to trigger big multi-patch taiko ensembles

...among many, many other things.]

EDIT: Question- what's the maximum number of 'percussionists' you can have at once?

Jamcussion adds 3 pairs of hands.

Looking at the interface is quite informative, but it makes me wonder; does the same style and drummer apply to both the drumkit and the percussion, or can they be different? For example, could John be playing the kit while Percy is playing the percussion, or does the whole plug-in have to use the same drummer?

The drummer and percussionist are separate models and you can have different styles/drummers for drums and percussion.

Is there a timeline yet for Jamcussion?
