Macro control that changes the grid size to any specified grid resolution.

I think all Ableton users would like a macro control that changes the grid size to any specified grid resolution. For example, if you press the button that says "1/16", the grid resolution will automatically change to 1/16th note resolution. As another example, if you press the button that says "1/128" starting from the 1/16th resolution, the grid resolution will automatically jump to 1/28th resolution.

I think this would be much faster than pressing Command +/- multiple times or using the grid spacing context menu to get to specific grid resolutions.

The only method I know of that sort of mimics what I am describing is pressing z/x while a note in the midi editor or area in arrangement view is highlighted and while the adaptive grid is on, but this is intended for zooming in and out, and not so much for changing the grid resolution and you can't really change to the specific grid resolution that you want with this method.
