Only via automation data. I guess a dummy clip would be the best solution here. Use a virtual MIDI port such as MidiYoke (PC - www.midiox.com) or the IAC driver (MAC) to loopback MIDI data. (Alternatively you could also short-circuit a hardware MIDI port). Thus you can send any Midi note number or CC number off Live via the virtual MIDI OUT port, receive it on the virtual MIDI IN port and then map it on the global groove amount. Place that dummy clip somewhere in your session. Any time you fire that clip, it will change the groove amount accordingly. Pretty handy for any other MIDI remote stuff in the Session as well.

Thanks. I'll try that out. Got the virtual MIDI ports already.
See what happens.
