Segment is basically a combination of Divs and Condition Transform. The histogram section at the top, borrowed from Condition Transform, displays the notes in the clip according to their duration. You can select notes by picking specific durations, and then subdivide them with the velocity and pitch functions borrowed from Divs. Quantization and special Division Mode help tame this device’s weirdness when you need that.
Subdivide conditionally based on note duration.
To install MIDI Tools, first double-click to decompress the ZIP archive it arrived in. !
In Live’s Browser, navigate to the User Library in Places
Then find the MIDI Tools folder located there. If you don’t see a folder called MIDI Tools in your User Library, simply create it yourself.
We’d advice adding two subfolders for Generators and Transformers for neatness.
Finally, drag our Generators to the Generators subfolder and our Transformers to the Transformers subfolder
Live should automatically detect them and within the next few minutes, they should appear in the dropdown chooser of Live’s Generators or Transformers in the corresponding tab of any MIDI Clip’s Note Editor.
PLEASE NOTE: Once installed MIDI Tools, since they are not Max MIDI Effects, cannot be dragged and dropped onto MIDI tracks: they can only be loaded by the Generator and Transformer tabs of the MIDI clip editor.

Segment is basically a combination of Divs and Condition Transform. The histogram section at the top, borrowed from Condition Transform, displays the notes in the clip according to their duration. You can select notes by picking specific durations, and then subdivide them with the velocity and pitch functions borrowed from Divs. Quantization and special Division Mode help tame this device’s weirdness when you need that.
Controlled Variation: Transform only certain notes, based on selected durations. This allows you to create add decoration to rhythms in a precise, controlled fashion.
Quantized or Unquantized Rhythms: The tuplets this device produces don’t always conform to the MIDI clip’s grid, which is one reason it produces such exciting and novel rhythms. Sometimes it’s a bit too wild, though. For that reason, this device has a Quantize button that will lock the notes it creates to the MIDI clip’s grid.
Division Mode: Toggle between Proportional and Fixed to change how the device performs subdivision. This is great for tweaking the rhythm to make it work more compatibly with other elements in a track. Proportional works like Divs and my other subdividers – it just divides up the note into even segments. Fixed is different – it looks at the longest note and divides it, then divides all of the other notes into segments that are equal to the think of the longest notes’ divisions. A bit confusion when you see it all written out, but just play with it and it’ll sense.
Scale Aware: Live 12 introduced a new scales feature that allows instruments and MIDI clips to be fixed to a specific scale. Phase Pattern supports this new feature, which makes it super musical.
Theme Support: Full support for Live’s color themes so that the device matches the look and feel of your Live set.
