I am wondering if any of you have any success stories using 3rd party drum pattern libraries together with Jamstix in keyword jam mode or perhaps in manual mode. Which midi drum libraries seem to be the best ones and did Jamstix do anything to add realism/variation to them, or do they just pretty much play back as is? For example, let's say I purchase EZDrummer, which comes with some midi patterns. Is there going to be any benefit to me importing them all one by one into Jamstix and driving them from there?

I have some older patterns I purchased a long time ago from a company called DrumTrax. I would probably import all those if there is going to be some benefit inside Jamstix. Also I have some of the twiddly bits stuff. I know about the Groove monkee stuff but never tried any of it.

Just wondering what experiences other people are having with all of this or if you just pretty much use Jamstix to generate completely new rythmn tracks without starting out with the libs?

One thing I really liked about some of those libs is that they were played by drummers on real midi kits, so they have a lot of sweet feel to them in terms of velocity, groove, etc.. I'm wondering what happens to them if they are imported to Jamstix. Does jamstix change them on playback...that could be a good thing or a bad thing...depending on what it does...

I follow you. so other than just to get some interesting patterns in there, it sounds like Jamstix1 there is not much advantage to importing the Drumtrax stuff. I mean I can just as easily compose the pattern or get Jamstix to generate one.. Really looking forward to v2, sounds like some cool features coming.
