This is very well done. Being able to bake out sequences to MIDI clips is huge. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks very much for this, into the generative style as well.

Your devices are some of my most fav devices in Max. So well thought out and useful. Like even having a swing start at 50% is the better way to implement swing, I know instantly how much swing is applied and in which direction. Briil.

I found this very useful and the patterns really good. Throw a velocity randomizer after it and maybe a slight random midi note generator after and it makes a lot of really great, evolving patterns. I also use it for a special rack of percussion like tabla and egyptian clay pots. Highly recommended!

Is there a live 10 version of this?

Love this. The "Clip" feature alone is so great, saves several steps, and allows me to build up a bank of drum and percussion midi loops independent of bpm or drum kit.
