One feature from Ableton 11 that I would like to see in Snippets (if possible) is a chance parameter. I like how this keeps loops from sounding too static and monotonous. It would be especially fun to use chance with the Variation parameter. For example, I'd like to be able to set the chance at 50% for Variation in a clip so that every other time it loops it sounds a little different. I know there are interesting ways to use parameters in the Snippet veiw, and I don't want that to go away. But it would also be great if there was an option to "chance" these parameter on a per clip basis.

What about applying chance to parameters beyond figures?
If I understand your question correctly, this is what I was suggesting in my request. Chance, in my example, would not be applied to the Figure itself, but to the Variation parameter so that it activates upon looping based on the percentage entered. I think this is a way to keep loops sounding fresh.
Interpretation would be another fun parameter to use chance on, for example. I've been playing around with Interpretation a lot lately and I like how it can alter how a phrase is performed. A creative person can get a lot of mileage out of it and one could probably do some interesting things if Chance were applied.
