Hi Greg
I've sent it.Not sure it'll work though.Every time I've installed Jamstix I've had to remap it.The audio inserts,and live effects should hopefully save you some time though.
Anyway good luck.
I've just sent you a print screen of what it should look like in Live.

hi, im having a bit of a problem with the latest jamstix version on ableton live also latest. on win7 64 (maybe that's the problem ?)
jamstix seems to crash ableton live randomly. sometimes it when i start it, sometime when i quit it and even during use.
im having no issues with other vsti's

edit: i think the problem is solved now.
i run live in compatibility mode- Vista SP2. and in as admin

Hello,

i have problems to trigger parts with midi notes in Ableton live:

- Host Ableton Live 8.3
- Artura Laboratory as midi controller
- JS 3.3
- Control midi channel: 11

I have configure some knobs an the controller to send some midi notes on the control channel 11 to switch between parts during a live performance and assign them to the parts (midi learn works fine). Nothing happens when i push the the buttons during live looping. The Live Loop Advance trigger and the Fill triggers even does not work.

The same setup works fine with other Hosts. Have tested Cubase 6 and LiveProfessor 2.3.4 beta.

Hi,

i have found a workaround fÃ¼r the trigger-part-problem in Ableton:

Don't choose a specific midi control channel in Jamstix, leave it to 'ALL'. You can filter out a midi channel on the Ableton channel if need it.

Hi there...
I am really close to figuring this out but I'm getting hung up.

I want to have it so when I change a scene in live it picks an appropriate live loop in jamstix.

i have tried doing it with by setting a midi note and sequencing that one note to play...and jamstix is getting the midi signal (I can see the request in the info bar, and the yellow midi in light is blipping once for the note). The problem is that when I do it this way...jamstix won't actually play drums...I think because of the midi note playing. I have tried putting the sequenced note in anotther track but it doesn't seem to work either.

I have also tried just doing a program change within live but can't get that to work either. What bank/prog number should I be using if I do it this way?

It doesn't really matter if I use prog change or midi note...as long as it switches the loop. Let me know the best way to go about this.

Thanks.

On an unrelated note... Is it just me? Or does one big 13 page thread for Ableton not very effective for seeking information... Wouldn't it make more sense to have an ableton section (in stead of a sticky) with individual posts based on issues? And the same for all of the other DAWS? Just my opinion.

Is Live playing at that time or are you just sending the note?

Yes. live is playing. The only way i can get JS to see the incoming midi note is to have JSs track armed. I basically have 1 note in a sequence at the beginning of the scene. So when I hit that scene it triggers that note. I have tried having that small sequence in the actual JS track...but I think that is stopping JS from playing properly. I tried moving the single notes to another track...and routing the midi in to JS...but again...JSs track needs to be armed.

In both cases the status window of JS actually acknowledges that it has recieved the request for X section...but it just doesn't seem to change the loop...either at the end of the loop or right away when I selct the 'jump bars' in options.

Is the note you're playing in the right octave? Live's C3 is actually C4 (or maybe the other way round

)
