Various expansions are available for Jamstix, including hand percussion, linear groove composition, Metal kits/drummers and much more. The “song builder” function can create a full drum arrangement with many parts and fills in seconds and the included sample engine offers incredibly realistic sound reproduction. This means that arrangements created with Jamstix are always humanly playable (no ten-armed drummers) and also always unique and varied since they are created based on rules and not static patterns. Unlike most other drum modules, which either provide static MIDI patterns or an engine that combines pre-recorded MIDI patterns, Jamstix features a real-time simulation of a human drummer down to the calculation of the time it takes a drummer to move an arm from drum A to drum B. Jamstix is virtual drum software which simulates a drummer inside of your sequencer/host.
