Not sure if this is partially accounted for in Live 7 but it would be awesome if we could save user defined automation curves for later use with the same drag & drop functionality that the rest of live has. Massive implements this in a way that is laid out most similar to what i'm speaking of. Maybe have a bank of them and a bunch of empty slots to create your own and be able to copy/paste between slots for slight alterations.

Maybe a little toolkit that loads up on bottom with a pulldown tab to choose what quantize value you'd like to sync it to before you drag it and drop into the arrangement automation lane. Would make for a much easier time compared to fixing any mistakes made using a mod wheel in realtime to control a parameter. or drawing in the lines manually and then going through a copy/paste ritual.

Whadda ya reckon?

+1 I love it!

That tool in NI's Massive is brilliant, gives you loads of different curves to select from. Its so quick and easy to drag & drop a curve into the envelope. and you can end up with an end result such as this.





But to be honest I think they should first sort out the issue with automation recording to clips found on this thread here
