BIAB vs Jammer

Am wondering if any of you Forumites have ever tried a software program called "Jammer"? I have had good luck with BIAB and use it very successfully with a little rack mounted unit by Alesis called Data Disk. I don't see it on the market anymore but it is wonderful for copying MIDI information off the computer and storing it on a floppy for playback on the same unit via a tone generator. I got off the subject a little bit, but Jammer is a similiar program as BIAB but I have yet to try it. How about any of you?

I had a program called "The Jammer", which was later upgraded & re-titled "JamWin". Its intended usage & strong points are similar to those of Cakewalk, and Jamwin provides virtual multi-track recording and edititing for audio & midi (and tons of other features that I neither use nor understand).
I always use BIAB to generate a .mid file, then open the file with JamWin & play around with it.
I've seen JamWin bundled as a freebee with other software & some OEM software packages. The setup files for version I have total only 1.3 MBytes and fit (obviously) will fit on one 1.44 MByte floppy disk.

Jammer is very simular to BIAB except it has a much steeper learning curve. It has realistic sounding drums and instruments. Also you can edit all the instruments with this program more than can be done with BIAB. But be ready to spend a lot more time getting up and running. Once you learn the tricks you will like it.

This belongs in computers.
