Play real guitar and control digital sound with articulation
The Jamstik Core lets players use familiar guitar skills to control virtual instruments, samples, and synths. Its pitch to MIDI engine captures detailed nuances including bends, slides, and hammer ons, making it ideal for expressive composition and recording.
By combining traditional playability with digital control, it bridges the gap between the feel of an electric guitar and the versatility of a MIDI keyboard. This makes it a practical tool for session musicians, producers, and creators looking to streamline their setup without sacrificing technique.
Quick and easy setup
A single USB-C cable powers and connects the Jamstik Core, eliminating the need for charging, batteries, or wireless pairing. The wired design ensures reliable, low latency performance for recording and live work.
Its 1/4 inch output allows connection to an amplifier or interface, enabling simultaneous analog and MIDI capture. This combination makes it an efficient choice for home studios, classroom use, or stage performances where dependable operation is essential.
Precision tracking with individual string pickup
Each string is detected separately through the precision mounted hex magnetic pickup, feeding data directly to the onboard processor. This approach allows accurate note separation and articulation when playing complex chords or fast runs.
Muted strokes, vibrato, and subtle dynamics are all captured in real time. Because processing occurs within the instrument itself, the computer or DAW can focus entirely on running instruments and effects, keeping sessions responsive and smooth.
Custom control through Jamstik software
The free Jamstik app and plugin provide full control over setup and feel. Players can adjust string sensitivity, fine tune calibration, and update firmware to unlock new features. The software integrates easily with popular DAWs such as Logic, Ableton, GarageBand, and FL Studio, as well as notation platforms like MuseScore and Sibelius.
Beginners benefit from visual learning tools, while experienced producers can dive deep into MIDI mapping and sound design. The Jamstik Core adapts as skills progress, offering both accessibility and long term creative potential.
