Support at MTS refreshed my memory for question # 2

If you right-click the right hand part of the VST window the automation editor pops up. The Parameters menu lists all automatable parameters the plugin provides. So if it's not in the list there's no way to automate it because the plugin doesn't want you to do it.

Automatable parameters available for JS in MTS are: Power Level, Reduction and Timing

Here is one way to do it: copy and paste the text below into a text file and call it jamblocks.j2p or something like that. Place that file into \data\players. Now go to your project, open the brain menu and use 'Extract From Other Player' to add the 'Snare To Jam' brain element to that part. You may want to delete or remove the J2P file afterward so it doesn't come up in your player selection list since it isn't really a player model.

If you want to get the low jam block instead of the high block, change NewSound=32 to NewSound=33.

[CompFilters]
Snare To Jam=1

[Snare To Jam]
Hint=Sends snare notes to a jam block
Active=1
GUIActive=1
Type=4
TargetSound=~1~38~39~
NewSound=32

Power Level is obvious. Reduction works okay with very low power levels.

But what does timing parameter do exactly? I can hear slight change in tempo when I move the automation curve up-down, but the tempo almost immediately goes back to normal when I let go. What am I missing?

Timing let's you push or pull from the base clock. Your curve must stay on value.

found the problem. In multi column rack the automation pops up on the first rack. So if you are 3 racks away you don't see it!!! :roll:

Work around is to turn off [b:b435a51e6d]multi column rack[/b:b435a51e6d] and automation editor pops up!!! :D
