ThumbJam Forum

<t>I've had TJ for a couple of years now, and it's been my favorite app since the day I got it. No revs in quite a while so I had some concern whether the app was still an active project. Now Thumbjam 2.0 has arrived. I've only done a few things with it, so I'm still growing into it's capabilties bu...

<t>Love TJ, nuff said!<br/> <br/> On OS4, there's the occasional need to quit TJ. Perhaps I've missed it, but a "quit" or "exit" UI element somewhere would be very helpful. Occasionally I get into a state in TJ where I get no instrument sound. Rebooting always resolves it, but obviously a true quit ...

<t>OK, multitasking in OS4 is now released. Thanks for releasing TJ 1.2 within 2 days of the OS4 release, great work.<br/> <br/> I like to create loops in TJ, then paste them into Looptastic for performance. Used to be a bit of a pain, copy from TJ, open Loop (and wait), paste, open TJ (and wait), r...

<t>Hi Jesse,<br/> <br/> It's none of my business of course, but I thought I'd suggest something. I have a copy of Looptastic Producr. It's a great app, and they do something smart: they sell sets of samples to be downloaded. They're in the content business. You could do the same thing- sell new inst...

Please comment. Like it? Dislike it? Think I should keep my day job (I intend to). Feel free to beat me up, but any feedback is helpful.

100% inside TJ, hope you like it

<r>Jesse,<br/> <br/> Thanks for adding Power Chords as a new instrument. Everyone should download this from within the app. It allows you to play chords quite well, if you're using TJ you probably need this. Nicely done, great job!<br/> <br/> I'l request a few features though:<br/> <br/> - Power Cho...

<t>Jesse,<br/> <br/> I'm VP of Software Development for a company, been working at this level for about 16 years. I design and my team builds applications for banks, insurance companies, stock brokerages etc. My products have sold about $100M through the years. I mention this not to boast but to est...

<t>Another approach: set the scale to a chord. You can then play the chord easily. It won't work for live performances, but works pretty well for mixing. Do your entire chord progression that way, drop the chords into your mix and you're good to go. For performance, I'd output the chord progression ...

<t>My Zappa story: I'm from NY so I was used to long lines, camping out, whatever it took to get good seats. I was in college in FL, saw Zappa was coming to Tampa. Drove up 12 hours early and nobody was there! First in line for tickets. Got 2nd row center, just a few feet from the stage. Band starts...
