Hi. Are there any way to dump midi notes from sliced sample? In FL's Slicex I can get them from "Dump score to piano roll" button.
It's used for recalling the original drumming pattern on piano roll: note length and timing.

Maybe this? (I only have Intro, so I don't know how well it works):

Thanks, I know I can slice drum loop into drum rack and it dump the score on piano roll. But how can I retrieve the original score after I modified them? Should I search and find the original loop and go through same process or manually put notes on the piano roll every time I want the original score?

The simple solution to that is obviously to duplicate the clip before you start editing 
Otherwise, no, it doesn't hold some sort of buffer where it keeps the original timings of the sliced loop.

That's kinda disappointing. I like Live's non-destructive workflow approach. But loop slicing is slightly tedious.

So you want to get back to the initial state?
You can always select the channel, CTRL C, then hit Undo all the way until you're back to the original score. Get and process what you need. Then Paste the buffer to a new channel. You have both states now.

Once you know that this is how it behaves it's not that much of an issue I think. You can either hit ctrl+D to duplicate, or select Current Project in the browser and drag the clip over there when you first create it, then you'll have a copy at all times.
But for existing projects your pretty much out of luck I'm afraid...
