Definitely! In Live you can set up MIDI clips - one shot or looping -
that contains MIDI data that is assigned to trigger certain functions
in the looper, hosted in Live. That was my preferred audio mangling
method before Mobius was available. Then I migrated my processing
ideas from Live's control MIDI clips into Mobius scrips.

Who cares - you must be joking! Stealing is only cheating if you get
caught! Just make your own music with whatever methods that make sense
for you.
