This is confusing and not helpful as the previous comment stated. His/her reply was helpful in that I didn’t know where to go inside Ableton, but when I got there, the drop down doesn’t list Jamstik as an option for a MIDI device. So I am not sure what to do here.

Hey Gordon,
After you get your Jamstik connected to your computer via Audio MIDI setup, check out this video to see the connection process in Ableton: https://youtu.be/n3WrGUqNBLQ?t=25

The video neglects to explain how to set up Jamstik in the preferences Link MIDI dialog which is the only thing I wanted to know!

Hi, Chris Heille here from Zivix. To get your Jamstik connected to Ableton Live as an available MIDI controller you’ll need to first connect the Jamstik to your Mac or PC. For Bluetooth connections on the Mac there’s two good YouTube resources to view: https://youtu.be/XDovlG0tUEI, and an update specifically for Macs running Mojave https://youtu.be/KjKrK4lkZgo. If you’re not using Bluetooth, connecting via USB will accomplish the same connection MIDI-wise. Once connected, the Jamstik should appear in Live’s Preferences>Link MIDI tab. For PC connections this isn’t quite as universal of a process, so I recommend connecting via the USB cable and going through whatever Windows peripheral connection process you’d do for any other MIDI controller over USB, and then the Jamstik should be available in Live’s Preferences>Link MIDI tab. Once the Jamstik is available in Live’s Preferences>Link MIDI tab you’ll want to select the Jamstik as a MIDI Port Input, and at least activate the “Track” status to On. Leave “Sync” off, and “Remote” can be toggled to “On” if you intend to use any of the Jamstik’s D-pad buttons or Mute switch as a learned MIDI controller in Ableton Live.
