How to Assign Different Instruments to Individual Strings in Ableton Live

Looking to play multiple different VSTs or instruments with individual strings on the Jamstik? Here's how! This demonstration walks through the process using the Jamstik Studio, but the connection process is the same for all of the Jamstik controllers. 

Setup Instructions:

• First, double-check which MIDI mode your Jamstik is in using Jamstik Creator or Jamstik Control. You'll want to be in either Multi-Channel or MPE mode.
  
  *If you're in Multi-Channel mode, the Jamstik's strings should be mapped to channels 1-6.
  
  *If you're in MPE mode, the first channel is reserved for global messages, so you'll want to map the strings to channels 2-7.
