Questions about Zivix
Where are Zivix instruments made?
While the company is based in the USA, manufacturing is primarily outsourced to factories in Asia, a common practice in the music industry to manage costs.
Do I need a computer or tablet to use a Jamstik?
Yes, a Jamstik functions as a MIDI controller, so it requires a compatible device (iOS, macOS, or Windows) to generate audio and utilize its full potential.
Can I use a Jamstik with my existing guitar amplifier?
No, the Jamstik doesn’t output a standard guitar signal. It transmits MIDI data, which needs to be processed by software or a MIDI-to-audio interface to be audible through an amplifier or speakers.
