Description

1.5 bug fix, default pitch is now set/reset correctly

1.4 bug fix/ root note wasn't being applied to the scale correction.

1.3- Tweaked the UI/Zoom and added Duration quantization mode.

Moved relevant parameters to the related sections of the UI instead of spread across the bottom and tweaked the UI scaling to work a little better.

Added Duration quantizing to the duration section 

QD- locks the duration values to 1/2 of the current grid in the clip. This lets the subdivisions fall more easily on the grid without them being quantized directly. Off is the previous behavior.

1.2- Added Zoom selection for smaller monitors. There's now a selectable scale on both the window and clip Tool window for setting the size. Because of the way midiTools load/unload it seems to not be persistent throughout a session.

 Lanes is a MidiTool Generator that makes sequences of notes. It has 8 Lanes that can have a variable length up to 16 steps by dragging the white handle on each lane.The values in each lane will be wrapped to fit within the total steps set by the value in the lower left corner, If you've used my 3Gates tool its very similar. each lane has a button for rotating, reseting, randomizing and shuffling the values in the lane.

 From top to bottom-

 Gates, On gate = note Off gate = no note(surprise)

 Pitches, -12 to 12 in the 3rd octave by default conforming to the current scale.

 Velocity, 0 to 127, 100 by default.

 Subdivisions, Subdivides the note in a range of 1(none) to 8 by dragging or clicking on the slider.Holding Option key on a Mac( or Windows equivalent) and dragging up or down on the right or left side of the slider creates a velocity ramp for the subdivisions. With only one side adjusted it makes a linear ramp up or down, with both sides adjusted it creates a parabolic arch from low to high with the midpoint dependent on the values.

 Duration, A value from -100 to 400 Defaults to 0( current grid interval). Adjust the duration of the notes relative to the current grid interval in live. If a subdivision falls on the same note as a duration value other than the default value the duration is used to subdivide the note.

 Chance, 0 to 100 chance in lives chance tab.

 Transpose, a second set of Pitch sliders that can be used to offset the initial ones, conformed to the current scale. 

 Octave, sets the Octave -24 to 24

 At the bottom-

 Total Steps, Sets the total amount of notes the lanes wrap around.

 Quantize, to the current grid in lives clip

 Legato, makes notes legato

Global Octave, set the initial octave before the lanes.

 Subdiv Pitch Mode,

 Mode A, Subdivided notes all have the same pitch.

Mode B, Subdivided notes step through the Pitches set by the lanes.

 I made this mainly for creating longer sequences over 8 bars with a larger grid intervals but it works for lots of stuff. Hope someone finds it useful(:
