Ok...I don’t know how to access all the instruments I purchased

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see how clicking on the guitar gets me to any new set of instruments I tried long pressing all of them but to no avail perhaps I have to have a song that uses these instruments I don’t know it’s really fun pretty fun not really fun ha ha I paid for instruments and I don’t know how to access them

Disappointing

The first version of JamBandit was a delight to use and a serious musical contribution -a credit to the founder of the underlying algorithms.

I have no idea what the developers had in mind with the current version, but it seems to be a trivial, superficial toy with minimal functionality.
 It would be great to see the previous version reinstated -maybe ‘jambandit classic’

The best jamming music app I own!

Great app! Not possible to play wrong notes based on the song. I wish I could download more instruments like I do with Thumbjam. Also I would like to use my own or any track to solo with. One last suggestion: please add an arpeggiator function.

Better than Smule ..kinda

Just downloaded this app and think it's brilliant👏 my only complaint is not able to record longer version to be shared😞 I suppose I would need to purchase to get that kind of freedom. But regardless of that beautifully done!
