Play drum over your favorite song. Click on different drums or cymbals to get different sounds, or use the following keyboard keys to play:
[space] - basedrum
[f] - snare
[r] - tom1
[t] - tom2
[y] - tom3
[u] - tom4
[4] - splash
[5] - cymbal left
[8] - cymbal right
[j] - hi-hat
[k] - ride
[g]- cowbell
Check the preference window for more keyboard options. Activate mulitple sounds if you are on Windows via the preferences.
|
|
1.1 ----------------------
Configure your own set of keyboard keys in the preference window.
1.2 ----------------------
NEW DRUM PARTS: Splash cymbal, Opened Hihat sound (click on the side), Cowbell and Ride bell (ride center).
SOUNDS: The sounds are now in stereo, so you will feel a more realistic sound experience. Also, the sound have been equalized, compressed and trimmed to ensure that no lags are coming from the sound files (thanks to http://audacity.sourceforge.net/).
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS: As requested, you can add multiple keyboard shortcuts to each drum parts. Roll on!
VISUALS: The cymbals are more realistic with a logo and a little reflection effect.
UPCOMING: resize Widget, drum parts animated
1.2.1 ----------------------
Thanks to Felix who pointed out a workaround to the sound limitation, this minor version let iJam play two sounds at a time.
1.4 ----------------------
Found out by mistake I made the main window invisible... The problem is now corrected. I also removed the workaround for playing 2 sounds at a time, because it did not work on windows 2000. Have fun!
1.5 ----------------------
New preference let you activate multiple sounds. You need to activate this option if you are on windows. Requires up-to-date windows media player. So everybody gets what they want :-)

As a drummer I found this widget to be an awesome idea. However I had to delete it as it kept wanting to become an icon on my PC and not a widget. I had installed it into my midget folder..and all my other widgets work fine. So I really didnt understand what was causing this to behave that way.

First: I absolutely love this widget. Best. Widget. Ever.
Buuutttt... I'm trying to figure out how to cut and paste the code that will allow me to play two sounds at a time and I'm not sure what:
1. Unzip iJam.widget, open iJam.kon
means.
I imagine I need from widget development toolkit but I can't seem to find one.
Thanks!!!

How to play more than one sound at a time:
1. Unzip iJam.widget, open iJam.kon
2. Copy code at http://konfabulator.wikicities.com/wiki/Play_multiple_sounds_simultaneously and paste it inside the onLoad action section
3. Replace all play( with playBetter(
4. Rock on!
Cool widget, looking forward to animated feature.

I'd rate this 5 stars if I could. I love this thing. My desktop now revolves around this widget. I would love to see the functionality of being able to get more than one sound at once as other people have said. That aside, this is no doubt the best widget for Konfabulator. Great work.

This Widget is absolutely awesome! I nearly uninstalled Konfabulator, because I had not found real good widgets, but this one is terrific :-) Love it so much.
To make it even better, add the ability to play several sounds at a time and maybe volume control.

As a drummer who does not own a kit at home. This is pretty nice for working on bits of a song you may have in your head or just for general practice. The only thing i'd like to see is making it so more than one sound could play at a time, and making the shortcuts user defineable, maybe even the ability to link it to devices other than the keyboard if possible so that I could use a joystick or game pad for a base "pedel"

It feels repetitive to say how awesome this Widget is. The only thing that could still use improvement is the only one instument at a time thing. I downloaded the new version, and I still can't play more than one at a time, which would make this Widget rock even more so. Can't wait to see it fixed....

i think this is awesome but it would be nice to have some drum/cymbal action when you hit each specific piece. Also two keys for each would be nice in order to do drum rolls, double bass drum, etc.

WOW, thanks for the feedbacks! :-)) Makes me have new ideas for the widget! Would you like to see the cymbals move when you hit them?
As requested, the version 1.1 is out and let you customize your own keyboard conf. Also you should feel less lag using the keyboard.
If anyone finds out how to not trunkate the sound (doc says it shouldn't unless you specify), please let me know!

Awesome idea...although when you use the keyboard ( I prefer it that way), there is noticable lag from when you hit the key and the noise is produced. This makes it really hard for me to play along with my music since there is lag. Dont know if its fixable....?
