Is there a "humanize" option for MIDI data?

This is either a question or a request for a (relatively simple) new feature. I was looking over the features of another popular DAW, and noted that there was an ability to "humanize" MIDI data. It was then mentioned that this was a pretty standard option to have for MIDI data, but I was unaware of any equivalent feature in MTS.
I haven't tried it, but my impression was that it probably just added variation to velocity for various MIDI notes that you selected. I could imagine another version of this where you get very slight movement of notes off of the exact beats, so that something you program in the piano roll ends up sounding less robotic and more like someone actually played it.
So, can you "humanize" MIDI data in MTS, or is there any interest in adding that? I'm sure you call up the velocity control bars underneath progression and draw in variations pretty easily that way, alternatively.
