Is there a way to do this, or an M4L device?

You know, you have a MIDI track with whatever, 16 clips, and you want them just played at random, forever, or whatever.

That a possible thing?

Follow Actions have Any and Other random options and you can set a probability between 2 Follow Actions.

Stuff like ClyphX and M4L do add more options, Live 11 has improvements too.

Live only uses external MIDI for MIDI Assign, besides using random MIDI from a external source, another approach is using "virtual MIDI cables" like IAC on Mac or Loopmidi on Windows, they allow you to send MIDI outside Live to a virtual cable then back to Live, Live will see that MIDI as external MIDI, which you can use to MIDI Assign to slots, etc..

thank you! Had no idea about follow actions, extremely useful. Exactly what I was looking for.
