dictionary
When live.miditool.out receives a dictionary, it will set the currently selected clip to the notes contained in the dictionary. The dictionary must be formatted in the same way as the dictionary sent out from the live.miditool.in object.
For an AMXD with the "Note Transformation" type, the notes in the dictionary become the new state of the clip. For an AMXD with the "Note Generator" type, the notes in the dictionary are added to the clip and can be superimposed on existing notes.
