i just got the demo running today and have managed to do some very simple stuff like assigning my midi out to jamstix.

What i would like to know is can you freejam using a guitar, if so how.

i had a set rhythm playing and jammed along but am i right by thinking if i play some simple slow stuff jamstix will follow and if i play hard again it will follow.

thanks

Audio jamming is done via the audioM8 plugin that comes with Jamstix. Put it as an insert effect to the audio track of the signal you want to use for jamming. Now set Jamstix to 'Free Jam' and the jam mode on the bottom to 'Jam With Audio'.

This is described in detail (including response tuning) in the 'Free Jam Quick Start' PDF in the manual folder of the demo.

If you need more help, just let me know.

If you have the right gear you can also Free Jam with a guitar using midi. If you have a midi pickup, (ie. Roland GK-2A) or a MIDI guitar (i.e. Godin LGX-SA) you can use midi.

I run midi from the guitar to a Roland GI-10 Guitar Midi Interface, into my sequencer & Jamstix. I also plug the guitar into my amp with standard cable. The guitar sends midi to Jamstix with the play input muted. I turn up the amp and start jamming

I find Jamstix is much more responsive when jamming with MIDI as opposed to the audioM8.

Are there any other advantages of jamming with midi, compared to audioM8?

I thought when you jam with midi, Jamstix analyzes the harmonic content of the midi data (i.e. chords, pitch, velocity etc.) to create a drum beat?

for audio to midi there are a few other options, for example melodyne or widi audio to midi (available as VST)
