Changes from Live 7.0.1 to Live 7.0.2
Improvements:
Several updated or corrected info texts.
Updated Manuals.
Updated Lesson pack.
Smaller button for automation lanes.
Include the track index only in automatic names, but
not in user names (also not in the routing choosers).
To include the index manually, you have to prefix the
custom name with one or multiple ‘#’ characters.
Support for Propellerheads Recycle 1 files (.rcy).
Info texts are not only displayed on mouse over but
also when a corresponding object (clip, track,
parameter,...) is selected.
The current velocity value when creating a MIDI note
is kept globally. Changing the velocity of the MIDI
keyboard also updates the current velocity value.
Update bitmaps for fold buttons.
MIDI Surface Controller support for Faderfox LV1,
LX1, LV2, LX2, LC2 & LD2.
There is a ‘PreviewAlwaysSyncedToSong’ entry you can
use in the Options.txt file. With that option, Live
does not use heuristics to determine the clip tempo
when song is not running for pre-listening in the
browser.
On Windows, MME is now used as the default instead of
the DirectMusic for MIDI ports that provide both
types. We are still working on a solution for the
drop-out problems some users experienced when using a
Remote SL-based MIDI controller surface with a
DirectMusic port. If you have that problem, we
currently recommend to use MME instead of
DirectMusic.
Drum Rack Support for Korg KONTROL49 & microKONTROL.
Windows only: If the DebugOption “
-_EnsureKeyMessagesForPlugins” is set in the
Options.txt, we make sure that all key messages reach
a plugin’s window in front. That way, edit fields are
again editable in the NI VST plug-ins. On the
downside, key messages do not reach Live anymore as
soon as some objects in the window of the VST plug-in
are selected. Thus, for example, once an edit field
has been edited, Live’s playback cannot be started
via Space until Live’s main window regains focus.
In the mixer, chains are now treated as any other
track concerning solo. That way soloing a chain in
the Session mixer mutes every track except the one
containing the Rack.
Control Surface support for the Korg ZERO8.
Previous version of Live only accepted zero-length
MIDI notes when the Options.txt entry “
-_AllowZeroDurationNotes” was set. Now zero-length
MIDI notes are accepted by default and the option is
not longer required.
Dropping instruments onto tracks, pads or chains
replaces the complete device chain and not only the
previous instrument. To replace the instrument only,
you can drag it over the previous instrument.
The inline Rack mixer provides an “Extract chains”
command via its context menu.
Control Surface support for the Akai MPD32.
Bug fixes:
The save button of a Rack could be still highlighted
after canceling a previous preset save operation.
In an external device, changing the latency value
would not work properly after a loading a Live Set.
Freezing of tracks containing Analog, Electric or
Tension would not work properly.
Pads of a Drum Rack would be renamed to their default
name after doing Undo and Redo operations.
There could be graphical artifacts after doing a
‘Sort chains’ operation in the inline rack mixer.
Live could crash when selecting a folder below the
system VST folder as the custom VST folder.
On Windows and Mac OS X with Intel-Macs, video
exporting with 24 or 32 bit could result in distorted
audio.
When using a clip with the 1.1.1 marker somewhere
within the clip, it would not be possible to draw any
linked clip envelope before the 1.1.1 clip start
marker.
Canceling a real time rendering with “Create analysis
file” enabled would crash Live.
Annotations for Macros would not be saved with
preset.
A template set containing an unfolded inline Rack
mixer would crash Live when starting up.
MIDI controller support for Drum Racks would not work
properly when loading a Live set containing a Drum
Rack.
Dragging nested instruments which have associated
automation lanes into a new track would not remove
the lanes from the previous track.
Resizing of Arrangement tracks would not always work
properly.
Under certain conditions, zooming deep into an audio
file in Simpler or Sampler could result in an
infinitive loop.
On Mac OS X, the custom window of certain VST plug
-ins could be too big when opening for the first
time. That would happen, for example, with the Triple
Cheese VST plug-in from Urs.
There could be audio artifacts when using the Impulse
with the stretch mode ‘A’.
Selecting Arrangement tracks via keyboard arrow keys
would not always keep the selected track visible.
Under certain conditions, refreeze of clips would not
work properly.
When setting the language to Spanish, several lesson
links would not work.
On Mac OS X, the MIDI sync output delay would not
work properly.
Pre-listen of frozen Live clips would not work
properly in Live’s Browser.
Soloing a track with a virtual instrument would not
mute other tracks when playing the virtual instrument
via the External Instrument device.
Replacing a Drum Rack could set Macro values to the
values of the Macros from the previous Rack.
An envelope modulation in a dummy clip would not
always terminate when the clip is stopped.
Routings for the track output of the first track
would go to None after saving and re-opening a Live
Set.
When previewing a Live clip in ReWire slave mode, the
host tempo would be set to the Live clip’s tempo for
the duration of the preview, and to 120 after the
preview is finished.
A running Session clip of an armed track would be
stopped when switching global record on.
Volume fader in Session View always has “Go Default”
enabled, even if it is at default already.
The maximal value for the filter cutoff in the
Simpler would be smaller than necessary.
Analog, Electric or Tension could miss MIDI notes
when running Live as Rewire slave.
The “Add lane for each automated ...” command would
not work properly after a recording.
Editing a MIDI clip in the MIDI editor would not be
possible via keyboard or shortcuts.
On Windows, audio drop outs can appear when using a
Remote SL based MIDI controller on an MME MIDI port.
That problem could still exist for DirectMusic ports.
For this reason, we recommend to use MME instead of
DirectMusic.
New recorded samples would not be copied via copy-on
-drag.
A single chain Drum Rack nested in another Drum Rack
would not show its devices without showing the chain
list.
Under certain conditions, the voice management of the
Simpler and Sampler would not work properly on multi
-core machines.
Under certain conditions, the priming of samples
would not work properly when the link switch was
enabled.
Changing the plug-in buffer size could result in
incorrect delay compensation.
Dragging devices from one Rack to another would not
always work properly depending on which Rack is
currently selected.
Clicking a control in a Rack would not turn off the
hotswap mode even though the Browser has lost focus.
Changing the temporary folder in Live’s preferences
would evoke a confusing message box.
Under certain conditions, when using the Sampler with
glide enabled, Live could crash when the first note
plays 2 samples but the second one only 1 sample.
Deleting an armed track which is set to no input but
which received a signal from another track could
crash Live.
Depending on the settings, the Repitch warp mode
would not sound as expected from previous versions of
Live.
The dialog for keeping or deleting temporary samples
would not have a default button and could not be used
via keyboard.
Using the back button in the File Manager could
result in lost changes.
Choosing ‘Collect and Save’ command would evoke a
confusing message box.
On Windows, changing the buffer size of an ASIO audio
interface would not notify currently used VST plug
-ins about the new size.
On Windows, closing the custom window of a VST plug
-in or a video window would not always set the focus
to the Live window.
Live could hang on exit if File Manager changes are
reviewed for an unsaved Live Set.
Under certain conditions, Live would crash when doing
certain actions during a renaming.
It would be possible to delete an inline Rack mixer
track even if the parent track is frozen.
Under certain conditions, freezing could result in an
audio file with missing ‘tail’.
Editing an info text would not create an undo history
entry and would not make a fresh document dirty.
Routing choosers would show the wrong chain name
after renaming the device inside a chain.
Switching the upper chooser of a MIDI routing from
one external device to another would set the MIDI
channel back to the first one.
Moving corrupted or ‘more recent’ Live documents
within the Browser could result in these documents
being deleted.
The Quantize parameter of the Auto Filter effect
would not work properly.
The frequency response view in Sampler would only
work properly with a sample rate of 44100 Hz.
On Windows, it would not possible to save a preset
with the char ‘:’ in its name. Now, ‘:’ is replaced
by a ‘_’ when saving it as preset.
Drum Rack pads were not renamed when a slice was
replaced.
Routing choosers would not always show the correct
device name.
Turning on ‘Don’t show again’ in a message box with
multiple choices would not respect the choice that
was made, but would instead always press the default
button in future invocations. With this fix, all
warnings will be reset, as if the “Reset all
warnings” button in the Preferences had been pressed.
Dragging MIDI files from Addictive Drums in the
Arrangement could crash Live.
Using the up or down arrow keys after deleting a
chain in a Rack could crash Live.
Changing the song loop length would not work properly
when time signature changes exist in the current
document.
Under certain conditions, the Library path would not
be properly stored in the preferences.
Disabling and enabling the Sync button would lock the
tempo edit field.
The installation of a package would always say it was
successful even if the installation failed.
If the default installation of packages failed the
first time, the installation would not run when
starting Live the next time.
On Windows, sending and receiving non-sysex MIDI data
to or from external MIDI ports can lead to audio drop
outs when using certain audio interfaces via ASIO
(for instance the Line 6 Toneport series).
Using the Hi-Q mode of the Dynamic Tube or the
Saturator could introduce a notch in the frequency
spectrum of the audio signal.
On certain conditions, the sample priming for the
Sampler would not work properly when “Osc” is
enabled.
Dragging a particular Live clip onto Live would crash
Live.
Loading a Simple Delay preset with ‘Link’ disabled
would not properly enable all edit fields when
enabling ‘Link’ afterwards.
On single core machines or in single core mode, fast
crossfade automations could lead to distortion in the
audio signal.
When Live is running as ReWire slave, MIDI input via
external MIDI ports would not work properly.
A certain VST plug-in would not behave properly for
song loop back jumps or would even crash afterwards.
If Live would run as ReWire slave, previewing clips
in Live’s browser could change the global tempo of
the ReWire master
Under certain conditions, Live could crash when an
invalid file or directory was found during startup
VST scanning.
MIDI clips would not be extracted in the Arranger
when using the ‘Extract chain’ command.
Dragging in certain audio files, already analyzed in
previous version of Live, could lead to a crash.
