Live Classical Piano, Max 4 Live Velocity, un-quantize?

[buckman]

I am new to this style, and quite like Ableton's MIDI.

I want to do some slow neo-classical solo emotional piano tracks, and have the delicate piano sound I want to use.

However I am for the first time looking at the MIDI plugs ins that come with Live 10 Suite, namely Velocity and groove tool to know the notes off the grid for a more live sound?

I am looking at Ludovico Einaudi, Olafur Arnaulds, Ben Lukas Boysen 'Gravity' album (which incidentally was all done on Live with a piano plug in!)

I haven't really touched upon any of the M4L plugs since upgrading to Live 10 Suite (Latest), so can anyone recommend any good velocity or live timing M4L plugs i should use or download to help me here that i may have missed?

If I play straight block chords, and some quantized melody on 1/16 quantization, is there a suite of plugs maybe I could make into a rack that would change key, random velocity, random start points to make it all sound live/classical?

Also is there a plug in (native?) that can play a minor key sequence and 'constrain it' to just a major key sequence?

Thank you for any help

Maybe try using "Extract Groove" in various songs from Ludovico Einaudi, Olafur Arnaulds, Ben Lukas Boysen, etc. , then experiment with those extracted grooves in your own music?

Good idea, pottering... never really used grooves before but it seems it could work from the youtube tutorials i've seen on live and more realistic piano

I will play with the Velocity MIDI plug in, as that looks like the Random feature could be good?

Also is the 'Scale' plug in, the one that could conform a major key to a minor and vice versa?

I just feel like I am missing a trick with the wealth of M4L midi plugs that could also help out in this style? (not sure where to look for those?)
