What is this soft about?
Jam’s Wizards is dedicated to musicians who'd like to train
themselves to play on chords progressions (grids).
It provides a various comping ; plus, you can choose
the style and the instruments. Grids
and Styles are easily editables. The software may also
be used for musical composition, and is able to import
Band-in-a-Box™ files.

Play and easily edit chords progressions.
Drive the essentials from one main window:
choose a grid, play it, loop a part of it, edit chords. More than
120 chords types are recognized, and you can teach new ones to
the soft. Jam's Wizards helps you in capturing
chords, indicating mistakes. When the grid is played, interpreted
by 3 talented musicians, see current chord thanks to
the integrated keyboard. Export your grid in PICT format, i.e. to print
it. Transpose the chords for your instrument. If you're a bassist,
a drummer, a guitarist or a pianist, mute the track of your choice and
play instead of the virtual instrumentist.

Choose your style, create your own styles and mix the jam session
as you like it.
In the software, you'll find styles already created
(Swing, Bossa Nova, Funk, Rock...), but you can easily add your
own styles. Jam's Wizards flexibility on this
point has about no limit. For instance, the bassist can as well play
a precise line as improvise a 'walking bass' himself.
In each case, he'll get perfectly adapted to the played grid.
Because he is able to play a lot of instruments (doublebass,
fretless bass, slap approach...), he'll succeed in each style,
just like his partners. To make the comping sounds the best, use the parameters
of interpretation and of mix until they get the way you prefer.
Nevertheless, if you don't wish to plunge yourself in computer science,
open a grid, a style and play, it's as simple !
