Changes from Live 7.0.2b5 to Live 7.0.2b6


Improvements

Several updated or corrected info texts.

Dropping instruments onto tracks, pads or chains replaces the complete device chain and not only 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


Dragging a particular Live clip onto Live would crash Live.
http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83340

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.
http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83495

A certain VST plug-in would not behave properly for song loop back jumps or would even crash afterwards.

On Mac OS X, rendering or consolidating could create partly empty overview data.

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.

Ok, the same expiry date as the last beta - the upcoming monday. That kinda tells us you think this is the release version of 7.02, unless any unexpected major bug rears its ugly head, right? And if all is well, 7.02 will be released monday, right??

I bet there'll be no official word on this until monday though!

"Dropping instruments onto tracks, pads or chains replaces the complete device chain and not only the previous instrument. "

This should be an option in preferences - previous users are going to be confused and new users will wonder why this is so.

And why did this change? did others complain?

IMHO, If someone wants a new, clean instrument, they should create a new channel

[Gnuus]

MPD32 and not MPD24??!!

I hear you!

this is absolutely not an improvement and really ruins my workflow..

who says an instrument is always connected to the fx device chain and has to be seen as one?
that is only true when you're always working with self contained instrument-fx racks..

which I'm not..

so now I cannot drag and drop instruments where I want..

[maze23a]

Is the MPD 32 support working for the 24 as well?

I agree. Is this really an "improvement"? I often have a long rack of devices (compressor, eq, tube distortion, etc etc) after, say, a bass and then I want to change the bass-instrument, but keep the device chain after it.

The devices after an instrument aren't always connected to the specific instrument and should be kept on the track even when the instrument is changed. This is very bad for the workflow in my opinion. It's not so difficult to remove the devices you don't need manually after replacing an instrument, but it sure is trouble to insert them again with the same settings, after the whole rack is lost.

There should be an option to this.

[abletoff]

Agreed. Please make this selectable!

Either there should be an option or the old behaviour should be kept!!!

Actually, come to think of it, selecting the behaviour by using a modifier key would be a good idea.

Like if you press Shift and then drag/drop an instrument the complete chain is replaced, else not. Something like that could be useful with effects or any kind of racks too.

I've started a poll about this over at the General section:

Yeah, I dont see how this is an improvement. Totally detracts from the modularity of device chains. If i want to replace the entire chain ill just 'cntrl + A' then delete.then drag a new instrument in.
