A MIDI note generator
Use cases:
Scan samples in a Simpler or a set of drums in a Drum Rack.
Quickly generate simple percussion or bass lines.
With parameter automation you can even create pretty wild melodies ;)
Neat features:
Note out and trigger interval grid displays.
Global mute and solo functionality over all 7 Steps devices.
Scale aware stepping.
Requires Live version 12.
In case you give it a try and it doesn't work, please let me know!
Have fun!

INTERVAL, OFFSET AND LENGTH can't be adjusted on Live 11 Suite.
Maybe it requires latest 12 and max. :/
thanks a lot for reporting this. i updated the readme that version 12 is required.
i am sorry that it doesn't work for you.
i did some weird stuff in order to get human readable fractions displayed that are also modify-mappable.
if you wouldn't mind you could test something: open the max patch and move the top three value displays down a bit to reveal the actual number inputs below.
my hunch is that the click-through feature might not work in 11.
