I use my JamMan all the time as a compositional
tool for all styles of music, including but not
limited to: jazz, pop, "contemporary classical",
ambient, etc. etc. etc.  I also use my sampler
and sequencer for more complicated parts that I
need to step-time, but I find myself going to
the looper more often as my keyboard chops are
simply abysmal ;-)

I also use it as a quick check on my improv
soloing chops.  A lot quicker and less clumsy
than a tape player.
