In case somebody needs the presets, they're here now: http://www.covops.org/index.php?option= ... &Itemid=28
I've done sets where there's
- one midi track input
- that track feeds scale and arp plug ins
- those feed chord plug ins
- etc.
so, hit one key and you get an ensemble, which can be set to play 'in tune' with the right (eg same) scale plug in setting.
cheesy but fun.

old trick i posted (from my first post ever), definitely easier with racks now, but still check it out:
"Always in key with random velocity and note variations"
This one seems complex, but when you try it it fuckin rules
Make 2 MIDI tracks.
The first one will have operator, simpler, or your favorite VSTi with midi In from either the computer kybd or your controller with monitor ON
the second track a "controller" track and will be empty of instruments but with the following ableton effects in order: Random (on the "orange" preset), Scale (on the harmonic minor preset in what ever key your song's in... or whatever you want), Velocity (on the "add some random") preset.
MIDI in on this "controller" track from the other midi track (the one with the instrument) and MIDI Out to the instrument MIDI track with the box below it assigned to the specific instrument (it'll say like 1-Operator). Monitor ON.
Assign velocity to any perimeter you can (you gotta use your ears on this one) on the instrument.
On the controller track, make blank midi tracks with clip envelopes assigned to Out Hi of the velocity, Choices of the Random, Pitch of the scale, etc.

a combo of this and a couple drum hits going around to many different delays, and you can find some neat accidents
