I am getting it. I use generative apps for ideas not for them to make music for me. Same with piano motifs and riffler. I don't use this apps to compose the music for me but to get a line that i can use to develop something from. But that's me. To each their own
To be honest
The video just annoyed me
Money stays in bank
Actually, both videos are stupid tongue-in-cheek. The advert itself with people "transforming" into wizards is just cringe. And the other video with the Moby Pixel acting like he snorted crack ahem, had one Red Bull too many is also cringe but at least slightly more bearable. Definitely a perfect way to turn many "serious" musicians off from the app.
Then again, I think the app is being harshly judged unfairly. There are ways to be creative with such an app that may not be apparent.
See, I've been learning a lot about Lofi HipHop, BoomBap, and HipHop production in general. In general, sometimes one-shots are used to produce the chords and melody, and sometimes a whole prerecorded phrase/loop (whether recorded yourself or downloaded from Splice) is chopped up and played back in super creative ways.
Well why not autogenerate a random song in Jam with Jordan instead of downloading an instrumental loop from Splice? A $3 one time payment is cheaper than a monthly subscription to Splice. You can then mute the instruments you don't need (I think there's a way to), commit something to .wav, import into Koala, (split the stems if unable to mute instruments in Jam with Jordan), apply any effects and resample into another pad, chop it up, and voila! The chops could then dictate how the rest of the track will be formed in Koala itself, or you can bend the chops to your will and create something completely new.
So yeah, as soon as I climb down from my soap box here, I will spend the $3 for this toy, have a play, and see what Jam with Jordan can and can't do and how I can integrate this into a fun workflow.
Another useful way to use Jam with Jordan would be songwriting. Autogenerate something, write lyrics on top, then either incorporate some audio generated within Jam or make your own arrangement. Easy peasy. I'll let you know my thoughts once I have a go with it!
@jwmmakerofmusic
I get where you’re coming from
I have listened to lots of your music
I know you’re a gadget fan, I red ya chat on lo fi, so I have plenty of respect for you
But money is tight, annoying videos, etc
But that’s just me
I certainly don’t want to put anyone off, and I certainly can’t play the keyboard like Jordan
So sorry if my comment annoyed you or anyone else
Nah, your comment didn't annoy me mate. ❤️ The videos did. 😂
Haha
Does it have midi out? Can it be loaded into AUM track?
Anyone try this yet?
I'm about to.
EDIT: First impressions. A really fun app. Pretty limited in what it can currently do. I suggested to Matthew to add some more "magic seeds" (i.e. chord progressions) and more sounds, even if as IAPs. Definitely worth it if you're looking for sampling fodder to pop into something like Koala.
That said, my only real criticism is a bug that makes the app open "upside down" on my M1 iPad Pro 12.9". 😂 Other than that minor glitch, it's a decent app. It's not meant to be a serious music creation behemoth like Scaler 2. It's meant to be an app that people can enjoy together and goof off with.
@eylvy Best demo I've seen yet. But that tempo change at 0:46 gave me tape-dragging cassette deck flashbacks and the volume spike at 3:28 is little jarring.
Drambo killer LOL

THIS ^^^^^ 😎👍🏼
Looks like a fun app.
Doug's vid really shows how to take control and manipulate the app to get your own thing happening:
Does it export "cleanly" (i.e. does it wait for the first note to play before recording) or is there space at the head?
Of interest: during Doug's video the dev was in the chat room and said "MIDI is on the roadmap"... anyone know what MIDI functions will be added?
Meh. Not for me.
You’re both correct and I agree with you both. However, I will never be able to shake the feeling of “cheating” by using random or semi-random generations (it took me years just to force my conscience to agree to work with looping my my own MIDI tracks). I think there’s a very obvious dividing line between “creating” and “curating” music. I’d maybe even go so far as to argue that most people here prefer doing the latter, especially when given the option for a random shortcut vs. improving oneself.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty room for the curating, even in my little old-fashioned world, but I’ll certainly never mistake it for musical skill or talent. It’s way more of a “taste” thing as Gavinski mentions hints at.
Oh damn I got caught up making a legitimate post and forgot what I originally came to do:
Ha ha, Jordan Rudess. Glad he kept the credentials list short and sweet this time.
(He honestly comes across as a fine guy, enthusiastic and has a lot of talent, but gosh he’s just an instant chuckle for me at this point. He has become a cartoon, almost.)
Who else thought the beginning sounded like Gadget ?
You on a date with the hottest woman in town you’re trying desperately to impress .
Him:
“So here’s a new track from my new LP I released on vinyl.”
Her :
“That’s just “Jam With Jordan!” (walks out )..
LOL.
I doubt the hottest woman in town spends her time dicking around with apps like “Jam With Jordan!”...
And THAT’s precisely why you can fool her! She gets suspicious if you try it again though and leaves for good.
“There’s something fishy about all those Phrygians..” flips hair “Hmph!”
Then she goes back to dating only crappy DJs with hot knob syndrome (wait... that sounds like an STD)
Then she settles for the “21 do the thing back for me”
Who can resist a quality 12 inch 🧐🤔
Beats a floppy any day…

Blasphemy! Is it even a Jordan Rudess app if not flooded with heavy handed reverb and delay?
