As a utility application, Jamstik Creator holds important device and preferences settings, including your MIDI Mode, string sensitivity, MIDI pickup calibration, tuning, transposition, pitch bend, expression tracking, and more so you can customize and tweak to your playing style.

Once you've got your preferences set, the settings will stay locked in the Jamstik's firmware, so you can pick right back up where you left off the next time you connect.

As a synthesizer, Jamstik combines the best of digital and analog. There are over 160+ customizable MPE presets of both high-quality audio samples and digital oscillator-based instruments tailored for the Jamstik.

You can also craft your own unique sound and expression using built-in effects like Reverb, Compression, EQ, Flanger, Delay, Distortion, and more.

The Studio MIDI Guitar is the world's first MPE-capable guitar controller, and Jamstik Creator was built to harness the MPE performance capabilities and dynamic nuances of the instrument.

In MPE mode, each string of the Jamstik Studio controls a different MIDI channel—including MIDI notes, pitch bend, and importantly, expression information. Paired with a compatible sound generator, this means that the performance on one string does not affect the others, allowing for greater control over the sound and a more natural response from the sound generator.

With the guitar format, there's no reason for "aftertouch" like the MPE keyboard controllers utilize. Instead, we're measuring the string amplitude and mapping that data as expression (MIDI CC11).
