Hi - First of all: Jamstix is the most creative drum tool I've ever seen! Just what I've been looking for. I AM a creative musician, but cant play drums.

I am curious on how people use Jamstix when working in Alive.
When I drag Jamstix into Ableton, it appears as its own "instrument" - which means it has a clip slot for every scene. In my understanding that means I can not change style/drummer for each scene - which I would like.

On way I wish to work with Jamstix is to drag it into my Ableton as a listening player - which works very fine. But like other expencive studio musicians - I'd like to throw him out when he is done - but after leaving his brilliant drumming in my DAW. And I like him to play different styles to my different song part/scenes.

Some questions I am trying to find answers to:
- Is there other clever ways of activating/routing input to Jamstix than having him as a seperate instrument?
- Do you have an idea on how to route one single clip as input to Jamstix while listening to the whole scene?
- How do you capture a good part and preserve it as a midiclip for later editing?
- How do you change style/drummer for different scenes in Ableton?
- Do you have a clever/quick way of getting Jamstix's mididata directly into the drum pattern of a drumkit i Ableton on the fly?
- Do you have a quick and clever way of copying a drum set (mapping) into Ableton?

Well - Let us share the good ideas here!

Best regards
Anders

you could get jamstix to play the full song in the arrangement window and then try to create clips from there.
