Description
RiffBeast generates notes and writes them to a MIDI clip. A slider changes how 'tame' or 'wild' the note patterns are. The scale and pitch range can also be set by the user.
When a MIDI clip is highlighted in Live's Session view, RiffBeast overwrites any existing notes when generating a new riff. This allows RiffBeast to be used 'on the fly' to create new patterns while playing live. If no clip is selected, a new 1-bar MIDI clip is created.

How does this one sound from one end of the spectrum to the other? Does the "wild" impact leaps? Chromatic embellishments? Erratic/"drunken" change in direction? Tame being, steps and passing notes, in key, correcting course with movement in the opposite direction after leaps? Is this an acid-inspired set of sequences?
Thanks for the feedback on my devices, much appreciated!
