What would be the best way to go about collecting and organizing midi drum phrases that have taken you hours to work out? Rolls or fills you like to quickly have on hand to put in another project? But midi, no audio loops. So the quality can stay the same and you can tweak and use other drumkits.

On a seperate but similar note, I wish live had a quick copy and paste buttons that would snap phrases youve selected "around" other beats in respect to what its timing is of the beat its originally on. For example, if theres a phrase thats starts off the grid around beat 2, so it has a groove, that you could transplant that to beat 4 with the same subtle timing differences.

You can save midi clips ya know. Just create a certain folder in the browser where you would like to keep these "phrases" and simply drag & drop the clip inside of it.
