The Jamstik Studio Midi Guitar and the Jammy Midi Guitar are two of the most commonly seen midi guitars today. The Jamstik studio is a 3/4 size guitar that boasts all of the features of a traditional electric guitar, as well as full Midi capability. The Jammy presents a take-anywhere solution for guitar players looking for a device that can do a bit of everything while also breaking down and fitting in a backpack. Both of these midi guitars offer something a bit different and in today's video we'll take a look at how they compare. Enjoy!

UPDATE: I spoke with team at Jammy after sharing this video. They informed me that a Jammy Plugin is currently in development, which is awesome! I'll keep you posted with the release of that plugin! Enjoy the video!
Video suggestion........ if you still have the Jammy/Jamstik. Jam session with some vsts... (ooo minimogueva , Vital, etc!)
Also, Have you tried the Midi cc Midi controlled Pedal setup yet! crazzy to use a note/ string to activate pedals but sooo fun!
can you do guitar slides with them? (not in analog mode but in digital/midi mode)
Tell Jamstik to take the midi pickup from the studio and sell it as an add to any guitar
Why don’t these guys show the midi note capture? Where are the accuracies for tracking? Double notes, ghost notes, false triggers? Any midi guitar tracks fine through speakers, but alot of musicians might want to record midi and convert to a readable score
Is this possible for you to do a video? Thanks
I know all these videos are annoying. I would love to have a midi guitar for transcribing music in real time but none of these videos ever mention if that is possible with the guitar they are testing.
Literally just google which notes you're playing. Or learn to read music and what notes are on your guitar as a pianist would learn the notes to their piano
@@blakestevens7452 Not every song has been transcribed and for those that are transcribed they are either too expensive or not in the format that is usually desired by a musician.
Exactly! that's what they should be focusing too on these reviews, by what it's shown here even the MIDI GUITAR 2 software is more than capable and it's free for standalone use
Probably because it would require actually saying something negative about these instruments and then the reviewer not getting his kickback from the companies.
This content is really informational. Great review. :)
Thanks, man. I really appreciate this. This has helped me make a decision.
Truly appreciate the through review and breakdown.
Hey Patrick I enjoy your videos,I brought the Jamstick for Christmas it's pretty cool,
Not to mention Device apps are USELESS if the phone is not current enough for the service provider to update it's operating system to versions which the app providers allow its use on.
Side note: I'd LOVE to see how it works when using with VST guitars from Orange Tree Samples, Native Instruments, Acoustic Samples, and others... it'd REALLY expand its usability.
Thanks for this video, was kinda torn between the two. I'm kinda leaning toward the jamstik. It looked like the jammy requires proprietary strings whereas I should be good to go with my normal strings on the jamstik.
Patrick, Thank you. First class job on comparing the Jamstik and the Jammy. Also, if the end of your video links give you a commission, I applaud you as a fellow entrepreneur and musician. Respectfully, Hooch
Great info.
One minor correction: you said the Jamstik is a 3/4 guitar. It is not. It has a full 24 frets, as mentioned, and has a 25.75 inch scale, the same as a Strat. It is about the length of a 3/4 due to the headless design and compact body, but it is indeed a full sized guitar.
Great video!
Recently bought Fishman Triple Play and it's... a thing.
Zero problems with latency but the tracking is so so. Faster licks, hammer ons etc. sometimes track and sometimes not.
I'm looking for a reliable guitar synth that could be used on gigs and composing. Especially composing suffers from ghost notes.
Price doesn't matter.
I dream of doing small gigs playing acid techno stuff with just a midi controller guitar and a laptop.
Triple play doesn't feel like it's reliable enough to play drum loops at least on the first try.
Do you happen to know if triple play is better/worse than these two options?
Dude, the Jamstik totally smokes the Jammy... You missed the biggest difference...the Jamstik can play MIDI and analog in parellel...
Only if that's what you want and are willing to pay for. As-what I refer to as-a "sketchpad guitarist" (i.e., I only flush out ideas on them) I personally care more about tech features (controls, hand position tracking, etc) than having another guitar; features that make VST guitars feel most authentic and the editing process less tedious. Obviously a real guitarist would have a vastly different perspective & set of requirements.
I own a Jammy and love it. The strings are breakable btw lol but easy to replace. Theres a lot to love about the Jammy. I have it hooked up to Ableton and use the Roli studio with it as well to create some truly bizzare sounds. I think the best option would be to just buy both lol
Hey Patrick B. The jammy E is coming out. Do you have any thoughts on it? Would that be a better option to wait for?
Ordered the Jamstik. Thanks for the informative video dude. 🤘
That's awesome! Definitely drop by again and let me know how you like it! Cheers 🙌🙌
Right. So did you receive it yet?
How is it?
IG Algorithm doesn't show your posts anymore (at least to me) but I still look for your content, because i think it's marvelous in every aspect.
I have to be honest, I miss more production content.
For me the best overall aesthetically is the Jamstic, because the Jammy looks like Guitar Hero guitar although it's portability is mind blowing.
As always super great content and super nice job.
Thank you Patrick!
Thanks for your comment bro, it's nice to hear from you! If I'm honest man, I miss the production stuff as well! I am getting back to it this year. I've shot some content that is sort of an extended version of the type of content you're familiar with on my instagram. Excited to share!
If you had a midi guitar, midi bass, midi keyboard, midi microphone, midi wind instrument with a bunch of different midi foot controllers and a control surface connected to a computer with every reputable midi software pack, virtual instrument pack, and dynamics plug in pack with just a single Apollo desktop interface or something similar with high end dsp and preamp/dynamics plug ins and a small collection of decent vocal microphones you’d basically have the most versatile home studio setup imaginable. You’d have every instrument, every amp, every preamp, every compressor, eq, channel strip, every famous microphone. Everything you’d ever need and more. Get some acoustic treatment and a set of really nice speakers and headphones and bam. The ultimate home studio for someone with no space but indecisiveness.
You've just nailed my entire goal in a single post! I already have a Slate VMS, midi piano, drums, and dedicated Hammond organ controller. Planning on a breath controller, control surface for synth knobs, midi guitar, a dedicated bass, and an Artiphon Instrument 1 for solo strings as soon as I can find great deals on them.
How do they compare to the Fishman Triple Play pickup?
If you have the right Jammy it has a USB-C port on it that you can connect to your PC
I was looking forward to the original jammy 12 fret but then they released this and it just doesn't make any sense to me since fishman triple play connect is out there.
Jammy Midi Guitar - La necesito aquí en Colombia... ¿Alguien sabe como puedo hacer el pedido? Gracuas.
How hard is it tuning them compared to a regular guitar and how long do they stay in tune?
Do either of these devices offer whammy bars? essential for those dives and pitchbends!
01:17 the first 2 chords made me think you were about to play Justin's Lonely
Patric Breen - thanks for this. What about Jam Origin which some say (Paul White Sound on Sound, just HIS opinion, though an informed one) surpasses all MIDI guitars. He wrote: "I find it difficult to overstate what the designers of this software have achieved. Had I not tried it for myself, I would simply not have believed it possible! As a guitar player, I think MIDI Guitar 2 is the most significant piece of software that I have come across next to my DAW of choice."
Any thoughts? I'm guessing Jam Origins only weak spot is tuning. As strings wear out or days get cold, obviously you're going to have some sharps and flats.
Just curious what you thought. I'm in the market for a MIDI guitar - I have one that actually works okay but is awkward to play - but thinking Jam Origin might be superior.
Any feedback is appreciated - if any!
Thanks.
Please review the Jammy EVO when it comes out (maybe May 2021).
It's a travel oriented version of the Jammy G.
Still waiting for this myself
I saw you do hammer-ons and slides on the Jamstix but not on the Jammy. Can the Jammy detect those?
Really neat. As for myself, the Jamstik would be my more preferable choice since the durability is a big factor for me. Plus, the potential for electronic components to be damaged would be less likely. As for the Jammie, the plastic is a concern since it can easily be damaged; and, components can get damaged easily as well. Can both be used with Sibelius Ultimate btw?
I don't see why not! I personally don't do a ton with notation but I know you can use Midi with Sibelius, so I'd say you're good to go!
I contacted the customer service and they said I could. Besides setting up the channels, it should work fine! Thanks for the helpful response as well.
I just met the jamstick thanks to you, it's really cool but my hearts belongs to the Jammy.
Ps: you can also change the tunning for the Jammy(and probably jamstick as well, that's something midi guitars developers have been including in their products, to change tunning without touching the strings which I see as a great advantage)
By now you may have played both. Can you tell me if there is something that one can do better than the other in the MIDI realms. Forget everything else (e.g. build, playability, portability etc.)
Hi does jamstik fit in a regular guitar hardcase?
I am a nylon guitar player and only nylon. Barely touched steel string or electric guitars. I want a guitar just for MIDI input with my guitar playing skills which is more fingerstyle. But I can do picking. Will Jammy be the right fit? I kinda leaning towards it. Because I am not a electric guitar player why buy a electric guitar? On the other hand if JamStik is superior in terms of MIDI features even slightly it may be a good choice because then I might teach myself some electric guitar playing. Please advise.
Can be connected to a guitar synthethizer like the Roland GR ??
Does either of these two guitars have 13 pin output to be compatible with Roland gr55 Style synths?
Can I use an iPad to use the app? The iPad has an audio out, right? A headphone jack?
Hi Patrick ! such a cool video ! . I got one one jammy G and just won't figure out why it cannot drive Native Instrument plugin such as session strings 2 / ethereal earth / noire etc ... Did you experience the same ? or I'm just not aware of how make these plugin 'midi learn' the jammy G strings ... any suggestion or help would be very appreciated my friend :)
Can you play Mute notes an the jammy?
I’m really struggling to learn I’ve spent a small fortune on the set up can anyone help
It's not a realy serious review but it's nice wanting share.
Maybe I did something wrong but I got the Jammy G and the latency is horrible. I couldn't play anything smoothly like you do in the video. I tried it in Reaper and Caustic 3 and had the same latency results. Also I couldn't get it to work with Shreddage 3 through Kontakt Player 6 in Reaper.
Man, that's annoying, I'm sorry. I unfortunately don't have any answers for Reaper or the plugins you're using. Have you reached out to Jammy customer support? If your issues persist, I would definitely return the Jammy and try the Jamstik if your budget allows. Sorry for your frustrating experience my friend.
Is the a difference in tracking and latency between the jamstik studio and the Jammy? For me, I don't care if it can also function as a guitar, I jut want a midi controller with the most accurate tracking.
Jamstik is the better of the two.
Lovely
Excellent review. The one thing I'd like to know about the Jammy is what the string feel is like. The Jamstik uses regular guitar strings and a true guitar bridge, so action adjustments and different string gauges are obviously possible. The action on the Jammy appears to be fixed, and the strings look like they're nylon, though I can't tell for sure.
The strings on the jammy are real guitar strings. Not 100% sure about the action. as far as I can tell, the action on the jammy in not adjustable.
@@PatrickBreenMusic Thanks. Makes me wonder why they charge $20 for an extra set. I'm trying to decide between one of these products vs. just getting either a Fishman Triple Play or Roland GK 3.
People that have used both, which one and why?
How do these handle string bends?
I have a JamStack Studio - was one of the first in the world to receive it. Anything you can do on a guitar can be done on Studio because it’s still an actual guitar - it’s an ALP Leaf with Jamstik electronics inside. You’re not going to be able to get string bends or get that guitar feel from the other “guitar” being shown. There’s just no way. If you listen to the audio, the quality of the audio detections is superior on Jamstik as it picks up little playing nuisances that the other doesn’t. Also, you can record midi and from the Studio simultaneously for lots of audio possibilities.
The only gripe I have is the method of string tuning sucks a bit on Studio as you need an Allen wrench (it comes with a mini one that’s magnetically attached to the bridge). And I wish the three way switch was a bit farther from the strings, but I’ve never heard anyone say it interferes with playing.
The other midi guitar reminds me of Jamstik 7 (and prior Zivix models), which is more for noodling and feels like a toy - I don’t think most people will like the feel of it if they play guitar already (maybe someone who doesn’t play guitar would be ok with using it for recording certain sounds). If you want a serious instrument for recording MIDI and playing like any other guitar, Studio is your best bet.
Any left-handed options on these?
Hey JMB - we do have a lefty version of our Studio MIDI Guitar - here's the link! jamstik.com/products/studio-midi-guitar?variant=39416183357601
Can the Jamstick midi guitar control a real keyboard with the traditional five pin midi in and out'?
Yes it can, with a TRS to MIDI adapter.
Yes it can - it's one of our favorite applications! In addition to the USB-C, we also have a 3.5mm TRS-MIDI output and supply a TRS-5-pin adapter cable with every shipment! Here are a few demos of the TRS output in action:
-Controlling Roland Juno: th-cam.com/video/dj4tfQ1xtXw/w-d-xo.html
-Controlling KORG Electribe: th-cam.com/video/SQP_i4oKqbY/w-d-xo.html
Jamstik is a guitar that is also a MIDI controller.
Jammy is a MIDI controller that is operated as a guitar.
Imagine playing "Creep" on this
man the jammy only goes to 15 frets , i can't afford either .. so will stick to the jam origin audio to midi plugin which is 100£$.. but the future looks bright..
i just figured out that you can change the tuning to go higher frets on the jammy..
Can the Jammy be used with a regular amp? I'm looking to use this outside with gigs if possible as opposed to recording and pc use heavily. Is it possible?
It can, but if that’s what you’re looking for I’d go with Jamstik.
You can’t bend the string with the small one
They aleready discontinued the jammy and the instrument 1. As well as jamstick 7.
But this begs the question. Why not simply buy a midi pickup for one of the guitars you already own? A Fishman Triple Play costs half as much as a Jamstik and about $80 less than the Jammy, plus they are very simple to install and uninstall.
You didn’t talk about performance
No kidding, I read the title as, "Jankstik Studio..." I wasn't far off.
Read all: #1 More frets reasoning: With Midi, {Playig computers/synths} you can Change octaves. Example High Strings play bass Notes Low strings play High Notes etc!
Analogies [ : = is to]
Jamstik: Midi Grand Piano
Jammy: Slim Midi Keyboard
Two of the top? THESE THE ONLY ONES I SEE ON THE INTERNET 😭😭😭
who buys one of these and plays guitar presets?
haha exactly
Só não compro uma dessa porque falta ela soar como guitarra
a jamstick tem saida P10 e funciona como uma guitarra convencional
ele até toca em 4:10
Hey man, sell me your old duet :(
POV: you came here to check if they sounded like AGOTI
The Jamstick has the same problems as all midi guitar controllers has for the last 40 years...
I have one and I did try all midi guitars for the last 40 years......
Yes I am that old
All midi guitars based on hexaphonic pick up not gonna work
Aren't midi guitars without hexaphonic pick ups that use fourier transforms for analysis of audio signals even worse?
I would love to have a midi guitar that works for transcribing music in real time...any recommendations?
Latency on Jammy sound less than Jamstik.
you can tell on 0ne part the stick has m0re frets and the jammy sounds like a small guitar with the less frets l0l
Wrong Instrument it's must be base
jammy is like a freaking toy
The audio and video for the demonstrations is TERRIBLY out of synch. :\
Midi control, which I had to pay a commission to an intermediary company in America to get it from Turkey. Even though i bought b stock it cost much more than usual. You neglect 3rd world countries. Whatever. When my new toy arrives, i hope i will calm down. I hope i am be happy but now i am angry.
The best is Jammy. Because we are in 2023 now.
