There are some interesting ideas posted by Ralph here:

I agree that it doesn't need much more functionality, although the Percussion could do with some more settings and sounds. I agree that the big opportunity for improvement is all about GUI and usability.

Logic Drummers have set the bar high and I find myself using them all the time, we need to learn lessons from that and make the awesome power of JS3/4 easier to access!

Just checking for news...
Couldn't find any... Are there?

I get the terrible feeling that it ain't happening anytime soon, unfortunately. I was hoping Ralph might have something ready to show-off at Winter NAMM in Jan, but not a chance, IMHO.

Ralph - you don't OWE us anything as far as detailed explanations, I just want to make clear that I acknowledge that. But with that said, we, your loyal supporters and absolute biggest fans of Jamstix, would humbly beg that you humor us. Anything more detailed than "The problem is on our end and I'm sorry for the delays with JS4. Be assured we're working on it!" would be SO greatly appreciated.

I say all this with peace and love sir. Can you please give us a little bit of the truth of what is going on?

We all miss the updates..... cheers.

Just could not wait for a usable drum machine...
As I did not manage to work with the demo of js3 (my fault, too stupid), I just bought ezdrummer...
Has definetly some drawbacks, compared to what I think js is supposed to work (eg. you need to buy thousand of midi files to use the tap2find function and cannot use your existing ones) but at least I have something a bit more usable than before...
Still I hope, js4 will come soon... Will definitely try the demo again... And I am still willing to spend some money on it, if it can do without the drawbacks of ez...
If I got it right, js4 was announced to hit the store way before a year ago... It still seems to be a bit in the planning phase... I hoped, we would be able to see something for Christmas or namm, but have serious doubts. Might be something like the bassist... Long announced, but never ready.
I feel a bit sorry for the company, as the guys there seem to be educated, cool, they have the balls to found s company,... and at the end of the day, they fail to concentrate on the right things, make a decent project plan and follow it... I saw some great ideas dying with their company, because of that...
It's just not the style of these cool guys, to stick to some basic rules, as they always want the best for their product and their costumers... I love this way of thinking.. But it's not always the best.
Ralph: if you need a project manager... Call me...

I'm on a worse situation than you, after I tried the demo, I decided to buy js3, and the full version have a lot of issues in OSX that I didn't knew from demoing because the demo is very limited. so I reported the issues like 11 months ago and since then there haven't been released any fix for js3 at all, so I'm here waiting for something that can helpme using the non resealable investment I made with this software

Kurviak, can you send me an email to refresh me on the OSX issues you're having?

i'm using jamstix on a 2009 imac/el capitan with no issues after a clean install.
