Fk yo nutz! Anyway, I can't help you with this one, sorry.

programs contain your samples.
to do what you want, save your sequence, tracks and programs together as a project.

The first thing I would assume is that the MIDI file is set up for GM drum mapping.

So in JJOSXL, you start on note 36 at pad A1, so as you can see from that map, that should be a kick. Snare is 38, so that should be on pad A3, closed hat is 42 = pad A7. And so on.

Look in STEP EDIT. If it's using note 35, then as you can see from the GM map, that's also a kick (bass drum), but JJOS doesn't go that low in DRUM programs, so you might want to transpose all 35 events to 36.

Thank you, going to buy your Ableton guide at the end of the month too.

If its not GM, you'll get there eventually, just load up a kick hat and snare and mess around with their pad placement. You have to assume the hats will be pretty regular, so look out for those patterns in GRID/STEP EDIT, and the main snare hits will most likely fall on the 2nd and 4th beat of each bar (assuming 4/4). And there' probably a kick on the 1st and maybe 3rd beats.
