I do not own M4L yet—I am going to buy Live in the next few days. I love Live’s piano roll…way better than Logic’s piano roll, but I prefer text input for MIDI velo, & Logic’s event list does just this. In Live, you can increment & decrement MIDI velo by using the ‘C’ & ‘V’ keys, but this is in steps of 20. So to get between those steps, you have to drag the bars at the bottom of the piano roll. So I thought I might just develop a tool in M4L that outputs a MIDI note at whatever velo I input to the Makenote object—the length of the MIDI note can stay at 16th, because I can just drag the notes & note lengths in Live’s piano roll. So the idea is to generate a 16th MIDI note at the beginning of a clip, but whose MIDI velo is a text box connected to the Makenote object. So if I need a MIDI note to be MIDI velo 70 (cannot be done using the ‘C’ & ‘V’ keys), I can just call upon my M4L program to generate the MIDI note for me, & then I have that MIDI note in the piano roll for copying/pasting, etc. How do I write MIDI notes from M4L to Live’s piano roll?

In M4L you can use the function 'set_notes' to write midi notes into a clip (piano roll).
