Well, the subject line pretty much sums it up. Step input for the midi editor PLEEEASE!

Yup. Making arpeggio-synth-lines in two seconds is a lot of fun. I'd love this.

I have read the manual, and I haven´t found a single word about step recording midi. I don´t think we are talking about the same thing in that case. What I mean is:

Set resolution, say 16th notes. Set cursor to desired start position in a midi clip. for each note played from the midi keyboard (during sequencer stop that is), insert one 16:th note with the played pitch and velocity, and move cursor one 16th...

But well, if you know how to do it, please enlighten us...

If there's been step-recording available all along, I'll be pretty pissed

I doubt there is though

There is no step sequence facility in Live, I've said that I miss this option (used it in Logic) a few times here. I even sent an email direct to Ableton about it.

I would imagine its one of those many, many to-do things that they are constantly striving to accomplish. In many respects I think Live is better than many other sequencers (I hate cubase and protools

) but has been perhaps a little behind in terms of midi application.
