Another +1 on this! I just built a Max for Live device that generates random notes based on the number of slices in a Simpler and it would go great with being able to automate dialing the sensitivity up and down.

Hmmm. Almost.

What I really want is ...

When editing the clip I can nudge the first note to a bit ahead of 1.1.1 but when I commit the extracted groove to another clip it doesn't affect the first note. Probabl...

I'm new to this—came here looking for more info about grooves myself—but I think I can answer this one. My mental model of grooves is that you can think of them as a midi clip (and you can indeed create them that way by writing a midi clip and then using "Extract groove" to turn it into a ...
