11.0.5 Release Notes (10-07-2021)

New features and improvements
Arrangement View

• Using "CMD"-click (Mac) / "CTRL"-click (Win) no longer deselects track headers that contain a hidden lane selection.
• Take lane headers with a standby selection are now shown in the respective standby selection color when more than one track, take lane, and/or automation lane is selected.
• It is now possible to rename multiple selected tracks simultaneously.

Clip View

• The Sample tab's Clip Gain control has been changed back to a vertical slider, and it has been repositioned above the Transpose controls.
• The Sample tab's Reverse button now shows an icon instead of text.
• The Sample tab's Reverse and Edit buttons are now positioned next to each other.
• Added a Pitch dial to the Sample tab, which enables shifting an audio clip's pitch in semitones. The Transpose controls now appear as adjacent slider controls, positioned beneath the Pitch control.
• When multiple audio clips with different Clip Gain values are selected, the value range is shown with split triangle handles on the Clip Gain slider.
• Added some visual refinements to the Clip View tabs.
• Improved the names of MIDI controllers that appear in the Control chooser when the Clip View's Envelopes tab is visible and the "MIDI Ctrl" is selected in the Device chooser.

Follow Actions

• The Follow Action Chance slider now displays a split triangle instead of just a black bar when it is showing multiple different values.

Interface

• Updated various Help View lessons.
• Updated various Help View lesson translations in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Chinese languages.
• Updated some Japanese and Chinese info text translations.
• The audio engine can now be turned on or off via a new "Audio Engine On" entry in the Options menu, or using the "CMD"+"ALT"+"Shift"+"E" (Mac) / "CTRL"+"ALT"+"Shift"+"E" (Win) keyboard shortcut.
• The Overload Indicator is disabled by default for new Live 11 installations.
• Live's performance is improved when deselecting many clips at once.

  • add_warp_marker
  • move_warp_marker
  • delete_warp_marker
  • sample_rate
  • sample_length
• The Max for Live API now supports large dicts.

MIDI Editing

• It is now possible to resize the velocity, probability, and per-note expression lanes in the MIDI Editor using the mousewheel/pinch gesture while holding "ALT".
• The background color of lane headers is now consistent with the Notes tab.
• Clicking on a lane with a standby selection now selects that lane instead of collapsing the time selection.

MPE Editing

• The "Pitch Bend Range Settings..." context menu entry now appears when right-clicking in the area where per-note pitch-bend is editable.
• When the Expression tab is open, making a time selection in the Note Editor or the Slide/Pressure expression lane while editing per-note expression now only shows the focused lane with a selection highlight, while all other lanes are shown with a standby selection highlight.
• When the Expression tab is open, using the "Zoom to Clip Selection" command (or "Z" key shortcut) now adjusts the zoom level according to pitch bend values contained in the time selection.
• It is now possible to clear all per-note Pitch, Slide and Pressure expression envelopes of a note at once by using the "Clear All Envelopes" entry in the context menu of the per-note expression breakpoint editor.

Multi-Clip Editing

• When clips are selected/unselected in the Session View, the highlighted track and scene now point to the foreground clip, if any exists.
• Changing the foreground clip from the Clip View updates the highlighting of the track (in both the Session View and Arrangement View) and the scene corresponding to the new foreground clip.
• Clicking on a clip's multi-clip loop bar in the Clip View updates the highlighted track, even if this clip is already the foreground clip.

New Devices and Device Improvements

• Chorus-Ensemble:
  • The Chorus-Ensemble device now uses less CPU when certain settings are applied.
• Phaser-Flanger:
  • In the Phaser-Flanger device, when the LFO Stereo Mode is set to Spin and the Spin value is changed, a second LFO line is now visible and its frequency changes accordingly.
• Spectral Resonator:
  • The Spectral Resonator device now uses about 15% less CPU.
  • The Spectral Resonator device now uses about 20% less CPU when very few partials are audible.
  • The spectrogram should now display about 30% of its former CPU load. Note: this is only visible in the system's CPU monitor, not in Live's audio processing meter.
  • When low polyphony and unison voices are set, less CPU usage should be shown.

  • "Delay DryWet" is now called "Delay Mix" in Automation Mode, and "Mix" in the device UI and on Push.
  • In the Spectral Time device, the spectrogram should now display about 30% of its former CPU load. Note: this is only visible in the system's CPU monitor, not in Live's audio processing meter.
  • The Spectral Time device now runs at about 60% of its previous CPU load.
• Wavetable:
  • Added support for Drum Rack choke groups to the Wavetable device.

Push

• When editing multiple MIDI clips at once, a connected Push device now follows all highlight changes of tracks/scenes, and the focus on the corresponding track.
• Updated the notification style for scenes, and updated the scene name visualization to include the absolute position, tempo and time signature on Push.
• Adjusting multiple encoders while recording automation now creates less undo steps on Push 1 and 2.

Session View

• It is now possible to rename multiple selected scenes simultaneously.
• It is now possible to rename multiple selected tracks simultaneously.
• In the Session View's Track Status display, the remaining play time of an unlooped clip now always displays the seconds with two digits (e.g., "10:07" instead of "10:7").

Control Surfaces

• Added control surface support for the Roland Fantom.
• Added control surface support for the M-Audio Hammer 88 Pro, Oxygen Pro Mini and Oxygen MKV Series.
  
  
• The functionality of the Oxygen Pro control surface script has been drastically changed. Specifically:
  
  • The Rewind and Fastforward buttons will now rewind and fastforward the Arrangement position.
  • Turning the Encoder will now scroll the Session frame up and down.
  • Holding the Encoder down and turning it will scroll the selected Scene up and down.
  • The Knobs can now control multiple features (Device parameters, Track Panning, Track Sends and, in the case of the 25 key, Track Volume) that can be selected
    by holding down Shift and pressing the Pads used for DAW KNOB CONTROL. Additionally, it is possible to toggle between controlling Send A and Send B
    by holding down Shift and pressing the SENDS Pad.
  • Live's Takeover feature is now enforced for the Knobs and Faders when switching between DAW and Preset Modes.
  • The Pads now provide LED feedback in respect to Clip/Clip Slot states in Live.
  • The Buttons beneath the Faders can now control multiple features (Track Arming, Track Muting, Track Soloing and Track Selection) that can be toggled
    between via the Mode button.
  • Fixed an issue where the Session frame was visible even when the hardware was not connected.

Bugfixes
Arrangement View

• Fixed an issue where Live hangs when zooming in Arrangement View in some cases.
• Previously, reordering automation lanes via dragging and dropping or using the "CMD" and Arrow Up/Down (Mac) / "CTRL" and Arrow Up/Down (Win) keys would not mark the document as modified.
• Fixed the width of the divider line between Arrangement lanes and track/lane headers.
• Previously, after selecting content by clicking on the Arrangement loop brace or pressing "CMD"+"A" (Mac) / "CTRL"+"A" (Win), content of tracks nested in a folded Group Track would not be selected when unfolding the containing Group Track.
• Previously, track lanes and headers could not be deselected via "CMD"+click (Mac) / "CTRL"+click (Win) when their tracks contained hidden and selected automation lanes, take lanes, and/or Group Tracks.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when restoring the Arrangement View's zoom state using the "Z" keyboard shortcut after deleting a take lane.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when clicking in a track's main lane after track content had been selected during recording, under certain circumstances.
• Previously, mixer controls in linked tracks would still be linked when selecting a take lane, after multiple track headers had previously been selected.
• Arrangement clip headers no longer have an uneven appearance.
• Previously, an Arrangement clip header would not be displayed as having a standby selection when the focus was moved away.
• Previously, it was not possible to unlink all tracks when some tracks were nested inside a Group Track.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when inserting a take lane.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when trying to move a selected main automation lane by pressing the "CMD" and Arrow Up/Down (Mac) / "CTRL" and Arrow Up/Down (Win) keys.

Control Surfaces

• User Remote Scripts work as expected on Windows again.

Devices

• The EQ Eight device will now scale the displayed spectrum the same way as the Channel EQ and Hybrid Reverb devices.
• Previously, the Operator device could crash or calculate inaccurate frequencies when its Fixed Mode and Spread parameters were enabled.
• In the Spectral Resonator and Spectral Time devices, the limiter's LED now correctly lights up when the limiter is active.
• Switching between oscillator effects in the Wavetable device now changes labels within each matrix as expected.
• In the Sampler, Simpler, and Wavetable devices, the MPE label text now updates according to the device's selected/deselected state.
• Previously in the Spectral Resonator and Spectral Time devices, gaps would sometimes appear in the Spectrogram at high frequencies.
• A Max for Live device's background color now updates correctly after moving that device between tracks.
• Fixed two bugs in the MPE Control device:
  • The Pressure curve would not follow Live's themes when the device was instantiated while using the Dark theme.
  • Global PB would be interpreted as Note PB under certain circumstances.
• The Surge Synth Team's "Surge" VST/AU plug-in device now has its internal MPE Mode activated by default when started in Live. Deactivating the device's MPE Mode in Live will also cause Surge to deactivate MPE Mode internally.

Interface Improvements

• Mouse-clicks on a return track no longer "fall through" to audio/MIDI tracks or Group Tracks that are covered by that return track.
• When left-clicking the CPU meter, the drop-down menu that appears is now aligned at the left-hand of the CPU meter.

• Fixed a crash that could occur when dragging an empty frozen MIDI clip to an audio track.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when freezing a track after recording, under certain circumstances.
• Fixed the alignment of the Launch text label that appears in the expanded view of the Clip View's Clip box.
• Previously, when copying a folder with audio files to another folder which was already in Places, the files would not appear in the browser.
• Previously, when saving a Live Set file (such as a clip or preset) in the root folder of the temporary current Project, that file would not be copied over to the final destination Project.
• Fixed the spelling of the "Sostenuto" parameter that appears in the Control chooser when the Clip View's Envelopes tab is visible and the "MIDI Ctrl" is selected in the Device chooser.
• Previously, resizing the Device View, as a result of switching to the Arrangement View, while no clip was selected would result in automation lanes having the wrong height when switching back to the Session View.
• Previously, using Tempo Follower and Tap Tempo at the same time could create a conflict with Live's tempo. To prevent this, Tempo Follower is now disabled as long as Tap Tempo is active.
• Previously, the waveform of an audio clip in the Detail View would be displayed in a dimmed color, although that clip was not audible while Audition Mode was enabled.
• Using pinch gestures to zoom once again works in expression lanes.
• Previously, the vertical zoom level and scroll position in the MIDI Note Editor were sometimes wrong when switching from the Expression tab to the Notes tab.
• Added the following changes for Windows:
  • On Windows 10, Live requires version 1803 or higher to be used on HiDPI screens.
  • Live's second window is no longer shown separately in the list of windows that appears when pressing "Alt"+"Tab". It also cannot be minimized anymore. These changes highlight that the second window is not a stand-alone window, but secondary to the main window.
  • When switching virtual desktops, floating windows are no longer shown on the new virtual desktop.
  • When using virtual desktops, floating windows (e.g., the Max editor, plug-in devices, or Live's Preferences) are now only shown on the virtual desktop where Live is.
  • Fixed a bug that enabled performing certain actions (e.g., stopping playback) while a modal dialog was shown.
• Previously, the selection on an auditioned take lane would look different when Draw Mode was active.
• Previously, adding a device via double-clicking could create two undo steps.
• Fixed a performance regression when loading a Live Set with many devices.
• Previously, when exporting a video, the Export Audio/Video dialog would remain disabled when choosing an export file name that matched an existing video file (but not an existing audio file) and then choosing not to overwrite the existing file.
• Fixed an issue where a Rack's selector buttons for chains and devices would swap places, under certain circumstances. Fixed various minor UI alignment and sizing issues that affected other elements within Racks.
• Fixed a spacing issue in Drum Racks. In all Racks, the Rand and Map buttons now always align with the right border of the Macro Controls section, and they appear as "R" and "M" when six or less Macro Controls are shown.
• For MIDI clips, program change controls now appear in the order [Bank][Sub][Pgm] instead of [Pgm][Bank][Sub].
• Fixed a crash when scrolling in the Clip View's Sample/Note Editor with the mouse button held down.
• Fixed a bug that generated false disk overload indications, even when no sample dropouts occurred.
• Previously, Link would not become disabled when opening a new Set.
• Fixed a crash when unfolding a nested Group Track containing a selected clip.
• The Pitch control in the Clip View's Sample tab once again works as expected when multiple clips are selected.
• The Clip Activator button once again works as expected.
• Previously, after selecting a Group Track header, the track highlight would sometimes immediately jump to a track within that Group Track.

Max for Live

• Sending a getpath message to a live.object that operates upon the GroovePool no longer causes an error.
• Sending a getpath message to a live.object that operates upon a Groove no longer causes an error.
• GroovePool, Groove and DeviceIO now all have a canonical_parent property.
• Replacing a licensed Max for Live device with an unlicensed one no longer creates a "fake" device that informs the user of a missing license. Also, it is no longer possible to inadvertently trigger Temporary Demo Mode when attempting to perform another action that breaches any current limitations, in cases where a "fake" device was created.
• The LOM ID of a routable MIDI input/output is now retained after moving and saving the containing Max for Live device.

MIDI Editing

• Upon setting Scale Name and Root Note values for a MIDI clip, those values remain visible (but grayed out), even when Scale Mode is disabled.
• When enabled, the Scale (aka Fold to Scale) button becomes disabled (instead of grayed out) whenever folding to scale is not possible.
• Previously, when using the Arrow Up/Down keys in the Velocity or Chance Editor while no notes were selected, a false value was temporarily shown in the respective editor's lane header.
• When multiple MIDI clips are selected and the Envelopes and Expression tabs are not displayed, the Notes tab is now left-aligned.

MPE Editing

• Previously, per-note pitch bend editing was unavailable when a MIDI Effect Rack or Instrument Rack was used, under certain circumstances.
• Previously, when the Expression tab was visible, making a rectangular selection of a single note in the MIDI Note Editor would incorrectly set the focus to pitch bend expression editing.
• Fixed a bug that caused a note's per-note pitch bend range to get reset to +/- 48 semitones when copying and pasting a track.
• Fixed a bug that could cause notes to be affected by expression parameters (including pitch bend) from previous notes.
• Previously, when the Expression tab was open and the MIDI Note Editor was folded, zooming to selected notes would sometimes scroll out of view.

Push

• Changes to a scale or root note on Push while recording a MIDI clip are now applied to that newly-recorded clip.

Session View

• When using a device parameter's "Show Automation" or "Show Modulation" context menu command while a Session clip is playing, Live now switches to the Envelopes tab in the Clip View when no clip is selected.
• Shift-clicking on an empty track slot in the Session View no longer changes the scene and track highlighting.
• Previously, the Follow Action Time marker was sometimes displayed at the wrong position in unwarped clips.
• Improved the text contrast in the Session View's Track Status display for unlooped clips.
• Previously, when triggering a scene with assigned Follow Actions after stopping Live's transport, that scene's tempo was not respected.
• The "Stop" Follow Action now works as expected for scenes.
• Setting the scene tempo or time signature from the Python API (Max and Push) will enable the respective scene control and display the correct value being set.

it is Final, since it has no b inside the version number. (b=Beta)

 

1.0.10b1 Release Notes (10.08.21)
New features and improvements:

• Stretching a MIDI note using the MIDI stretch markers in the MIDI Editor or the ÷2 and x2 buttons in the Notes tab will now cause any per-note expression belonging to that note to be stretched as well.
• When adding a new note to a MIDI clip or reactivating a previously deactivated note, if the clip is playing and the playhead is within the new or deactivated note, the note will be played immediately.
• When sending notes to a plug-in device, external device, or Max for Live device that has MPE Mode enabled, reoccurring notes with the same note number will now reuse the same channel. This can result in more consistent behavior of multitimbral instruments.
• It is now possible to navigate to and rename the next/previous track using the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" keys while renaming multiple selected tracks in the Session View. Previously, this only worked in the Arrangement View.
• The splitter between Live's main window and the Help View can now be grabbed and adjusted at its full height.
• When resizing the Session View, the clip slot selection will stay in view as much as possible. When the selection is off-screen, resizing the Session View does not scroll to show it.
• It is now possible to solo tracks with the "S" key and arm tracks with the "C" key when take lane headers or automation lane headers are selected. Before, this was only possible when track headers were selected.
• Previously, unnecessary splits might be created on an Arrangement track's main lane, when dragging the split line of adjacent highlights on a take lane. Now the behavior when resizing adjacent take lane highlights is more consistent.
• Added the following improvement to the functionality of User Remote Scripts:
  • Device Control:
    • Up to 16 encoders can be used for controlling Device Parameters.
    • The Device Activator button can be controlled.
  • Mixer Control:
    • An unlimited number of Tracks can be controlled.
    • Track Mute, Solo and Selection can be controlled.
    • The Crossfader and Cue/Preview Volume can be controlled.
  • Transport Control:
    • Session Record, Arrangement Overdub, Metronome, Punch-In, Punch-Out, Nudge
    • Down, Nudge Up and Tap Tempo can be controlled.
• When the transport is stopped, any hanging notes in the Wavetable device will now be stopped, as in other Live instruments.
• Note names in Drum Rack pads are now displayed until no character fits at all. Standard note names are now displayed without the octave number if the full name does not fit.
• Live now has improved performance in certain scenarios.
• Added the following improvements:
  • Pressing "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" while renaming an Arrangement clip now selects the next/previous clip on the same track or take lane.
  • Pressing "Shift"+"Tab" now selects the previous clip while renaming a Session clip.
  • When renaming a Session clip, the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" keys now skips empty clips slots.
  • When reaching the end when navigating with the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" or Arrow Up/Down keys while renaming tracks or clips in the Session or Arrangement View, the navigation now cycles to the beginning or end of the tracks or clips, similar to using "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" when renaming scenes.
• The vertical size of take lanes on linked tracks is now synced with a take lane that is being resized by dragging. The position of the dragged lane is sustained to keep the visible resized dragged lane visible and avoid jumping.
• MIDI track meters now indicate MPE per-note controller changes. The lowest dot in a meter lights up in a blue color if per-note controller changes pass that meter.
• Plug-in devices that have MIDI outs and that have MPE enabled can now output MPE.
• It is now possible to fold/unfold a track's additional automation lanes with the left/right arrow keys when that track's main automation lane is selected.
• Added the following changes to how velocity/probability values are displayed:
  • A MIDI note's velocity/probability values are now displayed in the respective Velocity/Chance Editor’s lane header when hovering over that note or its velocity/probability markers.
  • In Draw Mode, a note's velocity/probability values are displayed when hovering over the area in which the drawing action is available for that note. If any notes are selected, only those note's values can be displayed in the ruler, and hovering respects the quantization grid.
  • When drawing a velocity/probability ramp, the value range is displayed in the respective Velocity/Chance Editor’s lane header. If any notes are selected, only those note's values can be displayed in the ruler, however hovering does not respectsthe quantization grid.
• The Freeze Trigger LED in the Spectral Time device is now visible and flashes when Retrigger mode has Sync enabled.
• On Windows, if a UI element has the focus, its context menu can now be opened via the Menu key or "Shift"+"F10".
• Making a selection (or multi-selection) using keyboard navigation in the Session View's scene area now works as expected.
• When the Note Expression tab is open, a "Clear All Envelopes" entry in the context menu of the MIDI Note Editor and per-note expression lanes clears all expression envelopes of one or multiple selected notes.
• On Windows, context menus shown when pressing "Shift"+"F10" more accurately represent what would be shown when right-clicking using the mouse.
• When choosing a take lane for recording, Live now uses the first take lane that provides enough space. Before, Live used the take lane following the last take lane that did not provide enough space.
• When Sets are saved with the File menu's "Save Live Set as Template..." or "Save Live Set as Default Set..." command, they are automatically self-contained in the same way as Sets that use the File Manager’s "Collect and Save" function.
• Added the following changes when transposing an unwarped audio clip:
• The time ruler below the waveform will change to show the accurate amount of seconds in the waveform.
• The position of the Follow Action marker will change to keep in sync with the playhead and the actual beat-time of the Follow Action.
• The play position is preserved, causing smooth playback of the waveform and respecting scheduled Follow Actions.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where selecting or deselecting MIDI notes showed unexpected behavior or was not possible when the Note Expression tab was open and the MIDI Note Editor had Fold enabled.
• Mapping the Macro Variations selector to relative MIDI controllers now works as expected. A controller that sends high-resolution pitch bend can now be mapped to the scene selector and the snapshot selector.
• Fixed a bug where the per-note breakpoint editor would not be focused when clicking on an expression curve in the Pressure or Slide lanes, when the Note Expression tab was visible.
• Previously, reactivating a take lane selection when Draw Mode was enabled would create a flickering effect.
• Previously, the automation control chooser is empty instead of showing "None" when loading a new Set and "Show Automated Parameters Only" is chosen. Also, clicking on the automation control chooser would not select the main automation lane header when "Show Automated Parameters Only" is chosen. These bugs have been fixed.
• On Push 2, the Spectral Resonator device's main bank parameter now correctly switches to Transpose when the sidechain mode is set to MIDI.
• Fixed a bug where mappings in MIDI/Key Map Mode were hidden by the scene number.
• Fixed an incorrect error message that appeared when trying to insert a non-audio device into an Audio Effect Rack.
• Pitch Bend, Sustain, Expression, Mod Wheel, and other MIDI controllers that one would expect to reset to a default value will now do so at the beginning of clips that do not specify them. (Note: for users who intentionally use the previous behavior, this change will make their Live Sets behave differently. Therefore, the behavior is disabled by default. The behavior can be enabled by checking the "MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset" entry in the Options menu.)
• Previously, trying to resize multiple selected tracks via the resize handle of the last automation lane would resize the main automation lane instead.
• Previously, cropping a sample in the Sampler device would chop off the portion of the sample between the Release Loop Start and the Loop Start, if the Release Loop Mode was set to "Loop Back and Forth" and the Release Loop Start was before the Sample Start point.
• Previously, exporting audio might start single-threaded rendering before switching to multi-threaded rendering after a while. This could impact render performance significantly for Live Sets that benefit from multi-threaded rendering.
• The LEDs surrounding the encoders on the Novation Remote SL MkII once again provide feedback about the value of the controlled parameter.
• Plug-in window titles now update when changing the name of the containing track. AU plug-in devices are now displayed as disabled if plug-in creation fails.
• Previously, Live would crash when loading a one-sample length file into the Hybrid Reverb device and adjusting the Size parameter.
• When the Note Expression tab is open and no note is selected, double-clicking on the Note Ruler now correctly zooms to all notes including their pitch-bend curves.
• Fixed two bugs in the Arrangement View:
  • Previously, certain elements (such as insert markers, the loop brace and fade handles) were drawn on top of the Single Track Back to Arrangement button.
  • Previously, the triangle icon in the Single Track Back to Arrangement button was cropped when the track was almost scrolled almost out of the visible Arrangement View. Now the triangle icon is only shown when it can be fully displayed.
• In the Sample tab, typing arbitrary values into the Pitch control's Transposition/Cents field now works as expected. Dragging the Transposition/Cents slider beyond the minimum/maximum pitch also now works as expected.
• Fixed an issue where a note could have per-note events behind the note end when recording a transposed MIDI clip into the Arrangement.
• In order to prevent an issue with filter cutoff being reset on every note start in the TAL J-8 plug-in, the VST3 version of the plug-in is no longer loaded in MPE Mode by default. The VST2 version of the plug-in will still load in MPE Mode by default.
• In the unlikely event that an extremely high amount of MPE control change messages come in, Live will no longer crash, and all notes will be stopped.
• Previously, when the Note Expression tab was open, moving the mouse from an unselected expression curve to a selected expression curve could cause the highlight to become stuck.
• Some Racks that only contain licensed Max for Live devices and were previously locked in certain editions of Live (such as the DS Drum Rack in Live Standard) are no longer locked.
• Navigating with the Tab key once again works as expected when renaming scenes.
• Fixed a bug where Follow Actions were not scheduled as expected, under certain circumstances.
• Corrected the Edit menu entry text for undoing a clip color change.
• Recording auto-quantization now applies to take lane clips as well as main lane clips.
• Improved Live's performance when a very large amount of notes are visible in the Velocity or Chance Editor.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when undoing in a Set that had previously been restored after another crash.
• The Insert Time and Delete Time commands are no longer available when editing per-note expression breakpoints. Fixed a bug that could cause per-note expression to play incorrectly after a note-editing action resulted in an existing note becoming shortened.
• Previously, Live's crash recovery would silently fail if the undo history contained an empty band file (e.g. after a power outage).
• Fixed an issue where undoing a per-note breakpoint editor change while the breakpoint editor was not open would not redraw the expression curves.
• Previously, when changing note velocities or probabilities with the Arrow Up/Down keys, Live would not show the changed value when the mouse was hovering over the respective editor.
• Previously, the MIDI Editor pitch grid might jump by one pixel when folded on tracks with a Drum Rack while Highlight Scales was disabled.
• The Duplicate Time command is no longer available when editing per-note expression breakpoints. Fixed a bug where the Duplicate command would truncate the original note when duplicating the selected note while working in the per-note expression breakpoint editor.
• Fixed a regression that resulted in missing parameters in the Collision device.
• Under certain circumstances on macOS, audio/MIDI meters, the global transport time and other parameters would stop updating while editing parts of a Live Set with the mouse or a trackpad.
• Zooming Arrangement tracks via the Max for Live Application.View.zoom_view API function no longer breaks when multiple automation or take lanes are visible.
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when repeatedly adding and removing notes from a held chord when using the Arpeggiator device with the Hold parameter active.
• Previously, when clicking on a half-hidden track header to select it, Live might sometimes copy or move the track.
• Previously, the Arrangement View would abruptly scroll upwards after renaming a clip in a take lane at the bottom of the view. Instead, the clip's take lane is now scrolled into view. Similarly, the clip's main lane is now scrolled into view when renaming a main lane clip, whereas before, the entire track (including take lanes and automation lanes) was scrolled into view.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when freezing a track in a Live Set that contained an external MIDI instrument that was routing MIDI to a device in the Master track.
• Previously, renaming did not work as expected when selecting a track header or take lane header and unselecting the cursor item using "CMD"+click (Mac) / "CTRL"+click (Win).
  • Fixed crashes and error messages pertaining to corrupt documents that occurred when loading some Live Sets.
  • Fixed crashes that occurred after deleting a device while a take lane clip has an envelope for that device.
  • Fixed document corruption and subsequent possible crashes or other issues when restoring a Set after a crash under certain circumstances.
• Fixed a bug where Live would not accept tempo changes from Link peers in some cases.
• Previously, if a plugin was grouped into an Instrument or Drum Rack, the MPE settings of the plugin were not retained when the Rack was saved as a preset.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when clicking on a parameter in Live and adjusting the same parameter using an encoder on Push at the same time.

• Fixed a crash that occurred in certain scenarios if two instances of Live were running at the same time.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when pressing the [Space] or [Tab] key after clicking on Track Status Display in Session View if a clip in Arrangement View was being played.
• Improved shared Library folder setup when installing Live in multi-user environments.
• Selecting and launching multiple clips across a scene using the [Enter] key now works as expected.

 

11.0.10 Release Notes (21.09.2021)
New features and improvements

Spoiler

Arrangement View

• It is now possible to solo tracks with the "S" key and arm tracks with the "C" key when take lane headers or automation lane headers are selected. Before, this was only possible when track headers were selected.
  
  
• Pressing "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" while renaming an Arrangement clip now selects the next/previous clip on the same track or take lane.
  
  
• When reaching the end when navigating with the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" or Arrow Up/Down keys while renaming tracks or clips in the Session or Arrangement View, the navigation now cycles to the beginning or end of the tracks or clips, similar to using "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" when renaming scenes.
  
  
• It is now possible to fold/unfold a track's additional automation lanes with the left/right arrow keys when that track's main automation lane is selected.
  

Clip View

• When transposing an unwarped audio clip:
  
  • The time ruler below the waveform will change to show the accurate amount of seconds in the waveform.
    
    
  • The play position is preserved, causing smooth playback of the waveform and respecting scheduled Follow Actions.
    

Comping

• When choosing a take lane for recording, Live now uses the first take lane that provides enough space. Before, Live used the take lane following the last take lane that did not provide enough space.
  
  
• Previously, unnecessary splits might be created on an Arrangement track's main lane, when dragging the split line of adjacent highlights on a take lane. Now the behavior when resizing adjacent take lane highlights is more consistent.
  
  
• The vertical size of take lanes on linked tracks is now synced with a take lane that is being resized by dragging. The position of the dragged lane is sustained to keep the visible resized dragged lane visible and avoid jumping.
  

Control Surfaces

• Added the following improvement to the functionality of User Remote Scripts:
  
  • Device Control:
    
    • Up to 16 encoders can be used for controlling Device Parameters.
      
      
    • The Device Activator button can be controlled.
      
  • Mixer Control:
    
    • An unlimited number of Tracks can be controlled.
      
      
    • Track Mute, Solo and Selection can be controlled.
      
      
    • The Crossfader and Cue/Preview Volume can be controlled.
      
  • Transport Control:
    
    • Session Record, Arrangement Overdub, Metronome, Punch-In, Punch-Out, Nudge
      
      
    • Down, Nudge Up and Tap Tempo can be controlled.
      

Follow Actions

• When transposing an unwarped audio clip, the position of the Follow Action marker will change to keep in sync with the playhead and the actual beat-time of the Follow Action.
  

Interface

• On Windows, if a UI element has the focus, its context menu can now be opened via the Menu key or "Shift"+"F10".
  
  
• On Windows, context menus shown when pressing "Shift"+"F10" more accurately represent what would be shown when right-clicking using the mouse.
  
  
• When Sets are saved with the File menu's "Save Live Set as Template..." or "Save Live Set as Default Set..." command, they are automatically self-contained in the same way as Sets that use the File Manager’s "Collect and Save" function.
  
  
• The splitter between Live's main window and the Help View can now be grabbed and adjusted at its full height.
  
  
• Note names in Drum Rack pads are now displayed until no character fits at all. Standard note names are now displayed without the octave number if the full name does not fit.
  
  
• Live now has improved performance in certain scenarios.
  

Max for Live

• It is now possible to call select_notes_by_id on a Clip object in Max for Live, passing a list of note IDs. This will select only those notes that have the provided IDs.
  

MIDI Editing

• Added the following changes to how velocity/probability values are displayed:
  
  • A MIDI note's velocity/probability values are now displayed in the respective Velocity/Chance Editor’s lane header when hovering over its velocity/probability markers.
    
    
  • In Draw Mode, a note's velocity/probability values are displayed when hovering over the area in which the drawing action is available for that note. If any notes are selected, only those note's values can be displayed in the ruler, and hovering respects the quantization grid.
    
    
  • When drawing a velocity/probability ramp, the value range is displayed in the respective Velocity/Chance Editor’s lane header. If any notes are selected, only those note's values can be displayed in the ruler, however hovering does not respect the quantization grid.
    
• When adding a new note to a MIDI clip or reactivating a previously deactivated note, if the clip is playing and the playhead is within the new or deactivated note, the note will be played immediately.
  

MPE Editing

• When the Note Expression tab is open, a "Clear All Envelopes" entry in the context menu of the MIDI Note Editor and per-note expression lanes clears all expression envelopes of one or multiple selected notes.
  
  
• Stretching a MIDI note using the MIDI stretch markers in the MIDI Editor or the ÷2 and x2 buttons in the Notes tab will now cause any per-note expression belonging to that note to be stretched as well.
  
  
• When sending notes to a plug-in device, external device, or Max for Live device that has MPE Mode enabled, reoccurring notes with the same note number will now reuse the same channel. This can result in more consistent behavior of multitimbral instruments.
  
  
• MIDI track meters now indicate MPE per-note controller changes. The lowest dot in a meter lights up in a blue color if per-note controller changes pass that meter.
  

New Devices and Device Improvements

• Plug-in devices that have MIDI outs and that have MPE enabled can now output MPE.
  
  
• Spectral Time:
  
  • The Freeze Trigger LED in the Spectral Time device is now visible and flashes when Retrigger mode has Sync enabled.
    
• Wavetable:
  
  • When the transport is stopped, any hanging notes in the Wavetable device will now be stopped, as in other Live instruments.
    

Session View

• Making a selection (or multi-selection) using keyboard navigation in the Session View's scene area now works as expected.
  
  
• It is now possible to navigate to and rename the next/previous track using the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" keys while renaming multiple selected tracks in the Session View. Previously, this only worked in the Arrangement View.
  
  
• When resizing the Session View, the clip slot selection will stay in view as much as possible. When the selection is off-screen, resizing the Session View does not scroll to show it.
  
  
• Pressing "Shift"+"Tab" now selects the previous clip while renaming a Session clip.
  
  
• When renaming a Session clip, the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" keys now skips empty clips slots.
  
  
• When reaching the end when navigating with the "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" or Arrow Up/Down keys while renaming tracks or clips in the Session or Arrangement View, the navigation now cycles to the beginning or end of the tracks or clips, similar to using "Tab"/"Shift"+"Tab" when renaming scenes.
  

Bugfixes
Arrangement View

• Previously, reactivating a take lane selection when Draw Mode was enabled would create a flickering effect.
  
  
• Previously, the automation control chooser is empty instead of showing "None" when loading a new Set and "Show Automated Parameters Only" is chosen. Also, clicking on the automation control chooser would not select the main automation lane header when "Show Automated Parameters Only" is chosen. These bugs have been fixed.
  
  
• Previously, trying to resize multiple selected tracks via the resize handle of the last automation lane would resize the main automation lane instead.
  
  
• Previously, certain elements (such as insert markers, the loop brace and fade handles) were drawn on top of the Single Track Back to Arrangement button.
  
  
• Previously, the triangle icon in the Single Track Back to Arrangement button was cropped when the track was almost scrolled almost out of the visible Arrangement View. Now the triangle icon is only shown when it can be fully displayed.
  
  
• Recording auto-quantization now applies to take lane clips as well as main lane clips.
  
  
• Previously, the Arrangement View would abruptly scroll upwards after renaming a clip in a take lane at the bottom of the view. Instead, the clip's take lane is now scrolled into view. Similarly, the clip's main lane is now scrolled into view when renaming a main lane clip, whereas before, the entire track (including take lanes and automation lanes) was scrolled into view.
  

Clip View

• In the Sample tab, typing arbitrary values into the Pitch control's Transposition/Cents field now works as expected. Dragging the Transposition/Cents slider beyond the minimum/maximum pitch also now works as expected.
  

Control Surfaces

• Mapping the Macro Variations selector to relative MIDI controllers now works as expected. A controller that sends high-resolution pitch bend can now be mapped to the scene selector and the snapshot selector.
  
  
• The LEDs surrounding the encoders on the Novation Remote SL MkII once again provide feedback about the value of the controlled parameter.
  

Devices

• Some Racks that only contain licensed Max for Live devices and were previously locked in certain editions of Live (such as the DS Drum Rack in Live Standard) are no longer locked.
  
  
• Plug-in window titles now update when changing the name of the containing track. AU plug-in devices are now displayed as disabled if plug-in creation fails.
  
  
• In order to prevent an issue with filter cutoff being reset on every note start in the TAL J-8 plug-in, the VST3 version of the plug-in is no longer loaded in MPE Mode by default. The VST2 version of the plug-in will still load in MPE Mode by default.
  
  
• Arpeggiator:
  
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when repeatedly adding and removing notes from a held chord when using the Arpeggiator device with the Hold parameter active.
    
• Collision:
  
  • Fixed a regression that resulted in missing parameters in the Collision device.
    
• Hybrid Reverb:
  
  • Previously, Live would crash when loading a one-sample length file into the Hybrid Reverb device and adjusting the Size parameter.
    
• Sampler:
  
  • Previously, cropping a sample in the Sampler device would chop off the portion of the sample between the Release Loop Start and the Loop Start, if the Release Loop Mode was set to "Loop Back and Forth" and the Release Loop Start was before the Sample Start point.
    
• Tension:
  
  • The Filter LFO dropdown menu in the Tension device now appears as expected.
    

Interface Improvements

• Fixed an incorrect error message that appeared when trying to insert a non-audio device into an Audio Effect Rack.
  
  
• Corrected the Edit menu entry text for undoing a clip color change.
  
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when undoing in a Set that had previously been restored after another crash.
  
  
• Previously, Live's crash recovery would silently fail if the undo history contained an empty band file (e.g. after a power outage).
  
  
• Under certain circumstances on macOS, audio/MIDI meters, the global transport time and other parameters would stop updating while editing parts of a Live Set with the mouse or a trackpad.
  
  
• Previously, when clicking on a half-hidden track header to select it, Live might sometimes copy or move the track.
  
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when freezing a track in a Live Set that contained an external MIDI instrument that was routing MIDI to a device in the Master track.
  
  
• Previously, renaming did not work as expected when selecting a track header or take lane header and unselecting the cursor item using "CMD"+click (Mac) / "CTRL"+click (Win).
  
  
• Fixed crashes and error messages pertaining to corrupt documents that occurred when loading some Live Sets.
  
  
• Fixed crashes that occurred after deleting a device while a take lane clip has an envelope for that device.
  
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when renaming a take lane inside of a linked track and then pressing Tab.
  
  
• Fixed document corruption and subsequent possible crashes or other issues when restoring a Set after a crash under certain circumstances.
  
  
• Fixed the alignment of shortcut entries in Live’s context menus on macOS.
  

Link

• Fixed a bug where Live would not accept tempo changes from Link peers in some cases.
  

Max for Live

• Zooming Arrangement tracks via the Max for Live Application.View.zoom_view API function no longer breaks when multiple automation or take lanes are visible.
  

MIDI Editing

• Pitch Bend, Sustain, Expression, Mod Wheel, and other MIDI controllers that one would expect to reset to a default value will now do so at the beginning of clips that do not specify them. (Note: for users who intentionally use the previous behavior, this change will make their Live Sets behave differently. Therefore, the behavior is disabled by default. The behavior can be enabled by checking the "MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset" entry in the Options menu.)
  
  
• Improved Live's performance when a very large amount of notes are visible in the Velocity or Chance Editor.
  
  
• Previously, when changing note velocities or probabilities with the Arrow Up/Down keys, Live would not show the changed value when the mouse was hovering over the respective editor.
  
  
• Previously, the MIDI Editor pitch grid might jump by one pixel when folded on tracks with a Drum Rack while Highlight Scales was disabled.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that caused MIDI notes in a selected area to get deleted even if the notes themselves were not selected when pressing Delete.
  

MPE Editing

• Fixed a bug where selecting or deselecting MIDI notes showed unexpected behavior or was not possible when the Note Expression tab was open and the MIDI Note Editor had Fold enabled.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where the per-note breakpoint editor would not be focused when clicking on an expression curve in the Pressure or Slide lanes, when the Note Expression tab was visible.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when using MPE data with MIDI Effect Racks.
  
  
• When the Note Expression tab is open and no note is selected, double-clicking on the Note Ruler now correctly zooms to all notes including their pitch-bend curves.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where a note could have per-note events behind the note end when recording a transposed MIDI clip into the Arrangement.
  
  
• In the unlikely event that an extremely high amount of MPE control change messages come in, Live will no longer crash, and all notes will be stopped.
  
  
• Previously, when the Note Expression tab was open, moving the mouse from an unselected expression curve to a selected expression curve could cause the highlight to become stuck.
  
  
• The Insert Time and Delete Time commands are no longer available when editing per-note expression breakpoints. Fixed a bug that could cause per-note expression to play incorrectly after a note-editing action resulted in an existing note becoming shortened.
  
  
• Fixed an issue where undoing a per-note breakpoint editor change while the breakpoint editor was not open would not redraw the expression curves.
  
  
• The Duplicate Time command is no longer available when editing per-note expression breakpoints. Fixed a bug where the Duplicate command would truncate the original note when duplicating the selected note while working in the per-note expression breakpoint editor.
  

Plug-ins

• Fixed a crash that occurred when opening a Live Set that contained a plug-in with sidechain automation/modulation that could not be loaded.
  

Push

• On Push 2, the Spectral Resonator device's main bank parameter now correctly switches to Transpose when the sidechain mode is set to MIDI.
  
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when clicking on a parameter in Live and adjusting the same parameter using an encoder on Push at the same time.
  

Session View

• Fixed a bug where mappings in MIDI/Key Map Mode were hidden by the scene number.
  
  
• Navigating with the Tab key once again works as expected when renaming scenes.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where Follow Actions were not scheduled as expected, under certain circumstances.
  
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred when pressing the [Space] or [Tab] key after clicking on Track Status Display in Session View if a clip in Arrangement View was being played.
  

Setup

• Previously, exporting audio might start single-threaded rendering before switching to multi-threaded rendering after a while. This could impact render performance significantly for Live Sets that benefit from multi-threaded rendering.
  
  
• Improved shared Library folder setup when installing Live in multi-user environments.
  
  
• The Library.cfg file in a shared Preferences folder now gets copied as expected when installing Live in a multi-user environment.
  
  
• Fixed a crash that occurred in certain scenarios if two instances of Live were running at the same time.

 

i am trying to find a way to manual unpack the WIX installer (its a very slow installer, it just copies files, nothing more. v10 could be easily unpacked.)

Normally i update via Ableton web connector and then install the crack over it. But Abletons takes a few days to update the web update takes to a newer versions.
Hence i hope i find a better to unpack the installer easier.
