Agreed 110%!

+1 for the suggestion about GUI. The upper row is too big. It may look smart from a designing point of view, but we will soon be fed up with it and want the working area to be more accesible.

Don't know about the drumkit section. Are we supposed to drag and drop beats from there and place them in the grid? Even so it could be smaller.

I think that [b:15f8002cee]andrew-k[/b:15f8002cee] is right on the money with his observations and advice about the new GUI. Please put function above eye candy!

Best,

Joachim

I think people aren't realizing that the kit screen is not taking away from anything else, in fact, that is the same area that the mixer, the brain (?), the song sheet, etc.. would be located in different tabs.

The kit screen, IMO, *is* taking space away from the bar editor panel. I would hope that different tabs could emphasize different aspects of the GUI, but nevertheless, if this is what we get with the "kit" tab, I'd still want more emphasis on the bar editor.

I think the bar editor is static... it stays there all the time. Just the real estate taken by the kit editor in the sample would change.

Bare in mind that each cell in that bar editor is about 17 x 21 pixels as compared to the current 11 X 14. So it is quite a bit larger already. Plus I see a scroll bar across the bottom suggesting that it can edit several measures at a time.

I have always loved Jamstix and use it often. Scott does great GUI work, so I am sure this will be amazing looking.

I intend to upgrade. I am sure the price will be fair.

w00t w00t

I've been out o' the loop (pardon the pun) for a good number months and just this past weekend dove back into some recording. First thing i reached for was Jamstix. Also saw an email with a great deal on Bonzo/Metal/Jamcussion and scooped it up. Just for kicks thought i would check out the forums and lo and behold - Jamstix 3 within a few months!!!!!!

What a wonderful development!

oh yea: +1 regarding font comments...

Thanks Jamstix team - can hardly wait!!!

I just got word from Scott Kane that he will not be able to finish the GUI

This will set us back a bit and so I've changed the estimated release date to November.
