This looks dope, thanks for sharing

I'm trying to use this in 12.2.5 and I'm not able to get the ring to turn green. I create the clip in the drummer track and click on the unchanged ring and nothing happens. Is there anything else I should be doing to ensure it's turned on and set to generate? I think it's a great idea and I'm eager to make good use of it.
Thanks for the work!

HI @mysterymachinestudio i had to recently change the UI so that it looks fine on any Ableton live theme such as dark, light, mid dark etc. This is the reason i moved away from the green color. Can you select a empty clip and then click the big button. Then see if the clip has some notes in it?

Hi. Thanks so much for getting back to me. I did click the big button repeatedly and nothing was happening regardless of how I approached things. I tried re-adding the device before and after adding a drum already being in the track, etc... I wasn't sure if it was something I was doing wrong process-wise, so I tried it every way I could think of doing it.
I'm happy to send on session info or anything else that could be of help for troubleshooting. Just let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks again for getting back to me.
