Please consider adding the ability to automate groove parameters (i.e.., quantize, timing random, velocity) in the groove pool. Thanks.

For a scientific discussion on the morphing of groove, which the above suggestion would allow, check out the work of Malcolm Braff: http://general-theory-of-rhythm.org/basic-principles/

Came here to suggest this myself - being able to add subtle modulation to the groove parameters would be great - just make them MIDI mappable and we can then use the LFO device with a gently undulating sine - would sound fantastic applied to different grooves/different amounts on various clips being played at the same time.

You can already automate the global groove amount, the groove settings aren't supposed to be altered. If you want to add humanisation, you can add a MIDI device called bouncy notes.

My request would be to enable a "MASTER GROOVE". One groove affecting all midi.
Of course one can choose a groove, select all the clips and put it on everything. A master groove though would be pretty straightforward and convenient.

Every clip on the groove selection should have

• • none
    (all the grooves in the pane)
    master (that should be default, possible to select the behavior on preferences)
