Jamstix 4 Information

Yes, for users that don't qualify for the free upgrade, there will be a limited time discounted upgrade price.

JS4 is moving through private Beta at this time. After that, it will go public Beta for all (free upgrade) qualified users.

When js4 is released, will we still be able to use js3.x if desired (similar to how we can use any previous version of Cubase)?

Yes, you can run both. You can also transfer arrangements from JS3 to JS4 via Load/Save Song.

Will they share any new sounds or it will means two data folders ?

They use the same sounds and JS4 can be set to use the JS3 sound folder so that no disk space is wasted.

On a side note, even though the sounds are the same, the kits sound almost completely different since JS4 uses extensive processing via the new mixer to provide a more 'mix-ready' sound experience.

Hi Ralph and All,

My apologies if this has been asked and answered, but will the existing Expansion and Minipaks we that purchased for JS3 work with JS4 or is there a JS4 version of these products that will be installed in their place? The idea for me is to save space be completely removing and replacing JS3 and replacing it's components with the JS4 equivalents.

Hi apesma_1, they will work with JS4, no problem.

All who purchased Jamstix 3 after 8/1/2014. Your purchase was made 11/29/2011.

Just to make sure I got this right.
I bought JS on 08 May 2015.
So I am a "qualified user" to get the public beta of JS4 AND a free upgrade?

Yes, that is correct.
