  • Previously, video export failed when a warped video clip contained a Start or End marker before the start or after the end of the video.

  • When dragging or [Shift]-dragging a Warp Marker within a video clip, Live's Video Window now displays the video at the position of the Warp Marker.

  • Double-clicking the right edge of Live’s browser now folds the window as expected.

  • Loading older Live Sets, presets, and samples created on macOS will no longer cause Live or the Indexer to crash on Windows if the content contains a forward slash (e.g. “Clip 1/8.adg”).

  • Opening a pop-up menu with [Enter] then closing it with [ESC] now works as expected.

  • When using Capture MIDI with Reduce Latency When Monitoring enabled, the resulting MIDI clip now has the exact timing as what was played.

  • Certain UI elements of the Spectral Resonator, Spectral Time, and Limiter devices are now consistent with Live’s color palette when using the Dark Theme.

  • The Optimize Arrangement Width command (accessible via the [W] shortcut) now ignores invisible take lanes.

  • Packs will now be selected in Live’s browser when they are finished installing.

  • Loop start/end markers for audio clips are now properly aligned with the borders of the Push 2 display.

  • Nudging clips on linked tracks now works as expected.

  • Under certain circumstances, launching different Rack Macro Control variations would create ramps in recorded automation envelopes due to missing endpoints. These envelopes now appear as discrete automation line segments.

  • Using [Shift]-click to select clips in Arrangement View now shows the correct selection lengths in Live's Status Bar.

  • When using [Shift]-click to extend the time selection of linked tracks with take lanes, the selection is no longer extended to all lanes.

New Devices and Device Improvements

• Reverb:

  • The Reverb device's interface has been updated with a fresh design.

  • The Reverb device's Density and Quality parameters have been renamed to Diffusion and Density. The parameter values for Density (previously Quality) have also been changed from Eco, Mid, and High to Sparse, Low, Mid, and High. Sparse mode allows for lower CPU usage.

  • Added a Smooth drop-down menu to the Reverb device. You can now specify how the Size parameter responds when changed using the Smooth options None, Slow, or Fast.

  • Setting Smooth to None means that some artifacts may occur when changing the Size parameter values. The Slow and Fast options ensure that new delay times are updated over a specific period of time, resulting in a more musical sound.

  • Added a switchable filter type to the High filter in Reverb’s Diffusion Network. You can choose between a one-pole lowpass filter or a low-shelf filter.

  • Optimized for better CPU performance.

• Tuner:

  • The Tuner device now includes three new options for note spellings. You can access a menu with these options when you right-click anywhere within Tuner's UI:

    • Sharps (C#)

    • Sharps and Flats (C#/D♭)

  • It is now possible to zoom out to a full octave in Tuner's Histogram View by clicking the interface and dragging the cursor horizontally.

• In the Phaser-Flanger device, the Phase parameter of the LFO now has a default value of 180 degrees.

• The Excitator section of the Tension device is now called “Exciter” in Live and on Push.

• A context menu option for a Hi-Quality mode has been added to the Delay device. Switching off Hi-Quality uses less CPU resources.

• The Channel EQ device now uses less CPU resources.

• Presets containing the Saturator device now run with improved CPU usage.

• Inactive visualization data will no longer be sent in the Wavetable and Phaser devices, resulting in slightly improved performance.

• When mapping and unmapping device parameters to Macros, the Map/Unmap labels now appear as expected.

• A Hi-Quality option has been added to the [right-click](Win) / [CTRL-click](Mac) context menu of the Redux device. Using Redux with Hi-Quality switched off saves some extra CPU.

Plug-ins

• Added native support for AUv3 plugins on macOS 10.15 or higher.

  • Live's Preferences now include options to enable both AUv2 and AUv3 plug-ins.

• Plug-in errors are now shown in Live’s Status Bar, along with a linked detailed error report.

• On Windows, Live’s UI now refreshes as expected after tapping [ALT] to open the main menu.

• Opening a context menu on Windows with the keyboard shortcut [Shift][F10] no longer changes the time selection in Arrangement View, Session scene selection, or browser selection.

• On Windows, opening a context menu with the [Shift][F10] keyboard shortcut no longer changes the selected Session track header or Session clip.

• Fixed an issue that could cause artifacts when using the Complex or Complex Pro warping mode on clips that were only slightly warped.

• Fixed an issue that caused unnecessary freeze tail clips when freezing and flattening clips with small gaps between them.

• Fixed a bug that caused MIDI notes and audio waveforms to jiggle slightly when adjusting clip edges in Arrangement View.

• Selecting a velocity or probability marker and typing in a number sets the value as expected.

• When Rack Macro Controls and chains are unfolded, the Rand and Map buttons are now properly aligned.

• When showing or hiding chains in a Rack, the buttons would previously move up and down depending on the view shown. These buttons are now evenly spaced at all times.

• Fixed an issue that caused Session clips to be added over Arrangement clips when copying a track in Session View and pasting it into Arrangement View.

• Fixed an issue that caused inconsistent time signatures when launching scenes with specific time signatures in Session View, and then quickly going back to the Arrangement View. This issue could also cause the Re-enable Automation button to become stuck.

• When a track is frozen, the Velocity Range slider will now freeze as expected in MIDI clips.

• Fixed an issue that prevented the keyboard shortcut to expand Clip View [CTRL][ALT][E] (Win) / [CMD][OPT][E] (Mac) from working when switching from Session View to Arrangement View (or vice versa) when no clip was selected.

• Selecting time in the MIDI Velocity Editor now works as expected when multi-clip editing.

• When a user changes the MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset option in a set, they will be prompted to save the changes when they close the set or quit Live.

• Fixed an issue that caused Live to hang when zooming out of a clip with a small loop region that was being recorded.

• Fixed a crash that occurred when loading certain Live Sets containing more than 1,000 tracks.

• Fixed a potential crash when opening old Live Sets that contained devices that have since been removed from Live.

• AU plug-ins are now informed about silent inputs so that they can release CPU resources and report output silence if possible. This will allow any device in the device chain after the AU plug-in to release CPU resources as well.

• Fixed an issue that caused note feedback to break when using certain Control Surface script interactions, such as repeatedly switching the note layout on Push while a MIDI clip was playing.

• Fixed an issue that inadvertently showed blue hand icons and device locking options for particular device control features not available in some Control Surface scripts.

• Fixed a bug that kept internal buffers of VST3 plug-ins from resetting properly. As a result of this fix, lingering signals (like reverb and delay tails) are now reset before audio export starts. Lingering signals can also be cut off quickly by clicking the Stop button three times.

• Fixed a crash that occurred when drawing notes in adjacent clips in Arrangement View in certain scenarios.
  Drawing notes across multiple adjacent clips in Arrangement View now works as expected.

New features and improvements:

• In the Shifter device, moving through pitch shifting back to 0 (e.g. no pitch shift) will sound smoother.
  Note: There may still be volume changes between no pitch shift and pitch shift amounts due to the difference between the dry and shifted signals (small amounts of shift cause phase cancellations).
• Sample information can be displayed or hidden by using the right-click context menu option “Show Sample Information” from the Clip View’s title bar.
• The divider between the clip detail view panels and the clip content can now be dragged horizontally to switch between horizontal/vertical and folded mode. The menu entries to switch to horizontal or vertical mode have been removed; dragging the divider is the only way to switch to these modes.
  A menu item to toggle automatic mode on or off remains.
• Live now shows mouse cursors pointing in a single direction when hovering over split views which can be resized in one direction only. For example, this is the case with the splitter between the session/arrangement view and the device detail view: The device detail view can't be made bigger, but only dragged closed by dragging down. The cursor now indicates this by pointing down only. Similarly, when the detail view is closed, the resize cursor indicates that it can only be dragged up to open it. Note: These cursors are currently available on Mac only.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug that caused the Max for Live device MPE Control to block MIDI Program Change messages.
• Text now appears as expected in Live’s Preferences and the Multiband Dynamics device.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Freezer section of the Spectral Time device to remain active even if the device itself was deactivated.

New features and improvements:

• Updated the Clip View display options in the View menu.
• Updated Clip View info texts and warp mode info texts.
• Added support for keyboard shortcuts on French keyboard layouts for macOS versions 10.14 and older. Keyboard shortcuts that have numbers can be accessed without having to press Shift to access the number keys.
• When switching between panels in Clip View using the keyboard shortcuts ALT + 1/2/3, the panel header that was switched to will be selected.
• If Clip View is arranged horizontally when Live is first opened and either the Audio or Notes tab is selected, the corresponding panels in both audio and MIDI clips will remain unfolded when switching to Clip View’s vertical arrangement.
• The waveform displays in the Max for Live devices Envelope Follower and Shaper now appear as expected.
• Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.2.0 Beta 6465d36.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a crash caused by clicking in a certain area of the Sample Editor when editing unwarped audio clips in Clip View.
• Fixed a crash that occurred if a user tried to change the scale of a Live Set from Push while having the Focus mode in multi-clip editing on without a clip selected.
• Removing the MIDI mapping of the Pitch control in audio clips using the Delete key works as expected.
• Fixed a bug that caused the Pitch parameter in audio clips to move too quickly when “Pen Tablet Mode” was enabled in Live’s Preferences.
  Fixed a crash caused by pressing Tab or Shift-Tab while holding the mouse cursor on a parameter in Clip View.
• In audio clips, setting the Pitch parameter to -50 cents lowers the main pitch value by one semitone and causes the cents pitch transposition value to then jump to +50.
• In Draw Mode, when Pitch Lock is off, users will now get consistent results: a line/curve of notes will follow mouse movement without producing gaps or unexpected layers.
  
  In Draw Mode, when Pitch Lock is on, users can draw back and forth along a key track without removing any notes that are placed underneath (the same as in Live versions prior to 11.0).
• When syncing Live to an external MIDI clock, if the MIDI clock signal gets lost, the Ext Sync button will switch off after the dialog in Live appears saying that the signal has been lost.
• Fixed a crash caused by pressing the Reverse button in multi-clip editing mode if the time selection did not match the time range of the selected notes.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when expanding a track with devices in a Live Set that was added to Collections.
• The grid spacing is now displayed in the MIDI editor as expected after warping and unwarping audio clips.
• Fixed a crash caused by drawing MIDI notes in the lowest key track of the MIDI editor.
• Fixed a crash that occurred if Live couldn’t create or access a database at start time.
• Clip View panels now appear as expected when recording into a new clip.
• Fixed an issue when resizing audio clips in Arrangement View using the mouse and Shift key that caused clips to continually be resized even after letting go of the mouse.

New features and improvements

Native Apple Silicon Support

• Live 11.1 adds native support for Apple M1 computers. 

• Note: The beta auto-update from 11.0.10b3 is still based on the Intel architecture. If you are on an M1 machine, please download the universal installer from Centercode.

Arrangement View Improvements

• You can use the Arrow Left key to navigate from an automation lane or take lane to the main track, this will fold the lanes as well. You can also use the Arrow Left key to navigate from tracks in a group to the main Group Track.

• The Arrow Left/Right shortcut has been added to the Arrangement Track Title Bar info text. The shortcut folds/unfolds the track.

• The Arrow Left/Right shortcut has been added to the Toggle Additional Automation Lanes info text. The shortcut folds/unfolds additional automation lanes.

Browser

• A new Devices icon has been added to Live’s Browser: 

  • When viewing Sets in the browser, you will see a Devices icon for device chains on a track that contain at least one device.

  • When you expand a Live Set in the browser, either from the Current Project folder, Templates folder, or a folder of Sets you have added in Places, you can unfold the tracks in the Set to reveal their device chains. These chains can then be moved into the current open Set using drag and drop or by double-clicking on the chain. The Device settings from the original Set are retained but any previously recorded automation is not.

Capture MIDI

• In the first captured MIDI clip (in an empty set with the transport stopped), if the detected loop is eight bars or less, the first played note is considered the start of the loop.

• When only one note is played in the first captured MIDI clip (in an empty set with the transport stopped), the loop boundaries are set to the note start and end, and the tempo is accordingly calculated, resulting in a one, two, four, or eight bar loop. This is particularly useful when playing a rhythmical sample with a single MIDI note.

• In Session View, new captured clips now use the “Adaptive Grid: Narrow” setting instead of “Fixed Grid: 1/16.”

Clip View

• Added responsive Clip View options:

  • In Clip View, all clip properties are now displayed in tabs instead of additional panels. The tabs in Clip View can be arranged vertically or horizontally by selecting “Arrange Clip View Panels Vertically” or “Arrange Clip View Panels Horizontally” from the View menu. 

  • When Clip View panels are arranged vertically, the individual tabs (e.g. Clip, Audio, Envelopes, etc) can be collapsed and expanded using the arrow icon to the right of the tab header.

  • When Clip View panels are arranged vertically, the individual tabs (e.g. Clip, Audio, Envelopes, etc) can be folded/unfolded using the Arrow Left/Right keys.

  • Sample information for audio clips (e.g. sample name, sample rate, etc) is also displayed in the Clip View and appears differently in the vertical/horizontal view modes.

  • Clip View panels can now be accessed using keyboard shortcuts. In MIDI clips, ALT + 1 switches to the Notes panel, ALT + 2 switches to the Envelopes panel, and ALT + 3 switches to the Note Expression panel. In audio clips, ALT + 1 switches to the Sample panel and ALT + 2 switches to the Envelopes panel.

  • The chosen Responsive Clip View mode is now saved in Live’s Preferences.cfg file. 

• When multiple audio clips are selected, the sample properties (sample rate, bit depth, and channel count) for all samples will be displayed in the Clip View. If a value is not the same for all samples, the character “*” will be displayed. In Clip View, you will also see the total number of samples selected.

Comping

• You can now duplicate selected take lanes using the keyboard shortcuts CMD + D (Mac) / CTRL + D (Win), or by right-clicking on the take lane header and selecting “Duplicate.”

• Changing the color of a clip in a take lane changes the color of the corresponding clip in the track’s main lane and vice versa. Splits are created on the updated clips in certain cases when the relation between other highlights on different clips change.

• The horizontal lines that separate multiple take lanes match the color of the clips that are in those lanes.

• When renaming multiple tracks or take lanes using the context menu option, you will see the edit field when you right-click on a track or take lane.

Control Surfaces

• When navigating between devices on a selected track with the PreSonus ATOM SQ, you can now scroll between devices by holding the navigation buttons down. 

• If an invalid CC, note, or channel value is used in a UserConfiguration.txt file, the associated User Remote Script can still be loaded.

CPU Meter

• The CPU meter drop-down menu now can be customized to display:

  • both the Average or Current CPU usage levels

  • only the Average level, with the Current level switched off

  • only the Current level, with the Average level switched off

• Alternatively, the CPU meter can also be switched off entirely.

• By default, Live will not display the Current level; it must be enabled from the drop-down menu.

Interface

• You can use the left and right arrow keys to navigate radio buttons anywhere in Live. If you are navigating radio buttons on a device that is inside of a Rack with the left and right arrow keys, you can get back to moving between devices in the Rack using the left and right arrow keys by hitting the ESC key.

• In Session and Arrangement View, the Monitor radio buttons now have a default state that can be restored. When the In/Out section is expanded, you can press the Delete key to reset the Monitor radio buttons to the default (“Off” for audio tracks and “Auto” for MIDI tracks). This option is also accessible via the Edit menu option “Return to Default.”

• The Quantize Settings dialog buttons in the MIDI Note Editor now say “Apply” and “Close” instead of “OK” and “Cancel.”

• Deactivated device title bars are easily readable in all Live Themes, even if the device is selected.

• An error message will be displayed in the status bar if an auto-update cannot be downloaded.

• Added a new "MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset" entry to the Options menu: 

  • When enabled, certain MIDI control message types that are not automated for a given clip will automatically reset at the start of a new clip. 

  • Note: for users who intentionally work opposite to this behavior, enabling this change will make corresponding Live Sets behave differently. 

  • In Live 11.0.5, "MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset" is disabled by default. 

  • In Live 11.1, "MIDI Envelope Auto-Reset" is enabled by default for new Sets, and disabled by default in older Sets.

• Updated various info texts.

• Updated some Help View lessons.

Core Library

• Frequency Shifter presets are still available in Core Library/Devices/Audio Effects/Legacy/Frequency Shifter

Max for Live

• Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.2.0 Beta 665eec0.

• 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.

• Link functions have been added to the Max for Live API.

• You can access the IDs of newly created notes using the Python API or the Max for Live API. 

• It is possible to get a dictionary of all the notes in a MIDI clip using the Python API or Max for Live.

• When Max fails to load, an error message will be displayed that contains a link to a Knowledge Base article that explains potential causes for the issue and steps to take to resolve it.

• Error reporting in the Max Window is more consistent.

• Four new theme colors are available in Max for Live.

• amxd~: ‘realtime_params’ attr for realtime report of parameter data from outlets

• Dynamic Colors: ability to use a name which references a dynamic color (follows Live or Max color themes)

• live.adsr~ / live.adsrui: new objects

MPE

• Added an MPE Settings dialog box to the I/O section of Live’s mixer. You can use the settings to:

  • configure the MPE zone and range of note channels used by Live when sending MPE to an external MIDI device or plug-in 

  • select the upper or lower zone and number of note channels 

  • select multi-channel mode, which sets an arbitrary range of note channels

• The above MPE settings can be used for hardware synths that require a specific MPE configuration, or plug-ins that do not officially support MPE but can be used with MPE controllers due to their multi-timbral support. 

Multi-Clip Editing

• Time selection interactions, note selection interactions, and new note editing options have been added to multi-clip editing:

  • Time in the MIDI Note Editor can be selected across loop and clip boundaries.

  • Note editing (e.g. copy, cut, paste, delete) can be used when working with note selections across clips and loop boundaries. 

  • Notes can be cut or copied from multiple clips and inserted into the same set of clips, as long as the clip selection/foreground clip has not changed, or into a different clip once that new clip has been selected.

• Selected loop bars can now be duplicated using the context menu or the CMD + D (Mac) / CTRL + D (Win) keyboard shortcuts.

• In Arrangement View, it is possible to draw notes in background clips without first changing the foreground clip. Notes can also be drawn continually across clip boundaries, except in Focus Mode.

• When using a pen to draw notes with "Draw Notes with Pitch Lock" enabled, any notes that cross a loop boundary are no longer deleted.

• When more than 64 clips or eight tracks are selected in Arrangement View, the MIDI Note Editor is no longer available for multi-clip editing to prevent potential performance issues. 

New Devices and Device Improvements

• Introduced "Shifter", a new audio effect in Live Standard and Suite. Shifter is a multi-purpose audio effect for pitch shifting, frequency shifting, and ring modulation. The pitch or frequency of incoming audio can be tuned using Coarse or Fine parameters and further adjusted with a Tone filter and Window parameter. Shifter also has Delay, LFO, and Envelope Follower sections for additional modulation. The Shifter device can set pitch or frequency using its own parameters or by incoming MIDI notes. 

• Introduced the Align Delay device, which is now included in the set of Max for Live devices that come with a Suite license, or a Standard plus Max for Live license. Align Delay is a Max for Live device that delays incoming signals by samples, milliseconds, or meters/feet.  

• Introduced the MIDI Shaper device, which is now included in the set of Max for Live devices that come with a Suite license, or a Standard plus Max for Live license. MIDI Shaper is a Max for Live MIDI device that uses multi-breakpoint envelopes to generate mappable modulation data. 

• The Cytomic Filters, which are used in the Wavetable, Echo, Simpler, Sampler, Operator, and Auto Filter devices, have been updated and improved in stability, sound and performance. As of 11.1, the Cytomic filters (particularly the MS2 and SMP options) might deviate in sound compared to previous Live versions, especially when driven hard. 

• An update to the Softtube libraries may cause subtle sound changes in the Amp and Cabinet audio effects.

• In the Sampler, Wavetable, Impulse, Simpler, Channel EQ, Hybrid Reverb, Chorus-Ensemble, Phaser-Flanger, Echo (output knob only), and Spectral Resonator (input send only) devices, Gain controls now increment/decrement consistently by 1 dB when pressing the up/down arrow key, or by 0.1 dB when pressing the Shift key.

• Spectral Time:

  • The effect order can now be reversed using two radio buttons “Frz > Dly” or “Dly > Frz” on the right panel of the Spectral Time device above the Dry/Wet knob.

  • A “Zero Dry Signal Latency” option has been added to the context menu in the Spectral Time device. Enabling it reduces the latency of the dry signal to zero instead of syncing it with the output of the effect. This option is useful when playing a live instrument through Spectral Time and monitoring the output.

• Spectral Resonator:

  • In the Spectral Resonator device, the Shift parameter will now increment/decrement by one semitone when pressing the up or down arrow keys, or by one octave when holding the Shift key.

• Wavetable:

  • A context menu option for Hi-Quality mode has been added to the Wavetable device. When Hi-Quality is off, Wavetable modulation is calculated every 32 samples. Low-power versions of the Cytomic filters are also used to further reduce CPU. Using Wavetable with Hi-Quality mode off can save up to 25% CPU compared to having it enabled, which is ideal for working with large sets or maintaining low latencies. Please note that as of 11.1, Hi-Quality mode will be off by default when loading a new instance of Wavetable or any of its Core Library presets. However, any user presets or Live Sets created previously will still load Wavetable in Hi-Quality mode to ensure sound consistency with earlier Live versions. Subtle sound differences may occur when Hi-Quality mode is enabled.

Push Device Visualization

• On Push 2, the Hybrid Reverb parameter banks Algorithm 1 and Algorithm 2 have been renamed to Algorithm Pg 1 and Algorithm Pg 2. Also some parameters for Hybrid Reverb on Push 2 have been rearranged for easier navigation.

• Updated some parameter names for the Chorus-Ensemble device on Push 2.

• The Saw Up and Saw Down icons for Sampler’s LFO waveforms on Push 2 now appear as expected.

Session View Improvements

• Using the Arrow Left/Right keys to navigate the Session View no longer skips return tracks, if they are visible.

• Multi-selecting scenes now behaves the same as multi-selecting clip slots.

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.

• Corrected a wrong note in the "Lydian Dominant" Scale device preset

New features and improvements:

• Pressing "Cmd"+"A" (Mac) / "Ctrl"+"A" (Win) now only selects track within the same Group Track hierarchy as the currently selected track(s). Previously, if a Group Track was selected, nested tracks were also selected.
• The Overload Indicator is disabled by default for new Live 11 installations.
• Performance improvements when deselecting many clips.

Bugfixes:

• Selecting a device or parameter in a main automation lane's Device or Automation Control chooser now also changes the device or parameter in other selected main automation lanes.
• MIDI note velocity values received by Live externally now match the values displayed in the UI.
• Significantly improved Live's performance when selecting/unselecting a large number of clips to display in the Clip View.
• Freezing a deactivated Arrangement clip no longer creates a tail clip. An Arrangement clip that was deactivated when its containing track was frozen can no longer be activated while that track is still frozen.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when right-clicking on a track header to rename a track, or trying to edit the track's info text via the context menu, when a second Live window was open on Windows.
• In the Clip View's Sample tab, when editing the Transposition/Cents value and then clicking or dragging the Pitch control, the focus will jump to the Transposition/Semitones field.
• Presets which are not supported due to Live's current authorization state are no longer shown in Live's browser.

• Added the following changes to the Spectral Time device:
  - "Freeze On/Off" is now called "Frozen On/Off" in Automation Mode and on Push.
  - "Delay DryWet" is now called "Delay Mix" in Automation Mode, and "Mix" in the device UI and on Push.
• The Spectral Resonator device's CPU usage is now reduced by 20% when very few partials are audible.
• The Chorus-Ensemble device now uses less CPU when certain settings are applied.
• Added the following changes:
  - 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.
  In all these cases, a connected Push device follows the highlight change and focus on the corresponding track.
• In the Spectral Resonator and Spectral Time devices, 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 Follow Action Chance slider now displays a split triangle instead of just a black bar when it is showing multiple different values.
• 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.

• It is now possible to rename multiple selected scenes simultaneously.
• It is now possible to rename multiple selected tracks simultaneously.
• When a Session track slot is highlighted but not selected, using the Arrow Up/Down keys, Home/End, or PageUp/PageDown keys now moves the highlight to the adjacent track slot in the given direction.
• Added the following changes to the Clip View of MIDI clips:
  - 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.
  - 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.
• 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.
• Updated some lesson translations in German, Spanish, French, and Italian languages.
• Plug-in devices now look similar to built-in Ableton devices when disabled.

• 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.
• 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.
• The Spectral Time device now runs at about 60% of its previous CPU load.
• The following new properties and functions are available in the Clip API:
  - add_warp_marker
  - move_warp_marker
  - delete_warp_marker
  - sample_rate
  - sample_length
• Updated the notification style for scenes, and updated the scene name visualization to include the absolute position, tempo and time signature on Push.
• Added some visual refinements to the Clip View tabs.

• Fixed the following bugs in 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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, mixer controls in linked tracks would still be linked when selecting a take lane, after multiple track headers had previously been selected.
• Fixed the alignment of the Launch text label that appears in the expanded view of the Clip View's Clip box.
• 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.
• 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.
• Fixed the following bugs:
  - When copying a folder with audio files to another folder which was already in Places, the files would not appear in the browser.
  - 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.
• Arrangement clip headers no longer have an uneven appearance.
• 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.
• 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, 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.
• Previously, the Follow Action Time marker was sometimes displayed at the wrong position in unwarped clips.
• Previously, an Arrangement clip header would not be displayed as having a standby selection when the focus was moved away.
• Using pinch gestures to zoom once again works in expression lanes.
• Improved the text contrast in the Session View's Track Status display for unlooped clips.
• 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, when triggering a scene with assigned Follow Actions after stopping Live's transport, that scene's tempo was not respected.
• Shift-clicking on an empty track slot in the Session View no longer changes the scene and track highlighting.
• 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.
• The LOM ID of a routable MIDI input/output is now retained after moving and saving the containing Max for Live device.
• The "Stop" Follow Action now works as expected for scenes.
• Previously, the selection on an auditioned take lane would look different when Draw Mode was active.
• When multiple MIDI clips are selected and the Envelopes and Expression tabs are not displayed, the Notes tab is now left-aligned.
• Previously, when the Expression tab was open and the MIDI Note Editor was folded, zooming to selected notes would sometimes scroll out of view.
• 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.
• Previously, adding a device via double-clicking could create two undo steps.
• 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.
• Fixed a bug that could cause notes to be affected by expression parameters (including pitch bend) from previous notes.
• User Remote Scripts work as expected on Windows again.
• 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.
• Previously, per-note pitch bend editing was unavailable when a MIDI Effect Rack or Instrument Rack was used, under certain circumstances.
• The Launch Macro Variation button can be mapped as expected again.
• 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.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when dragging an empty frozen MIDI clip to an audio track.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Changes to a scale or root note on Push while recording a MIDI clip are now applied to that newly-recorded clip.
• When enabled, the Scale (aka Fold to Scale) button becomes disabled (instead of grayed out) whenever folding to scale is not possible.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when freezing a track after recording, under certain circumstances.

• Live 10 themes have been removed.
• Improved some Max for Live error messages.

• Added the following changes to Macro Control variations:

  • The Launch Macro Variation buttons are now more prominent.
  • The last recalled variation now shows its Launch Macro Variation button in a darker color.
  • If Macro Controls are changed, the last recalled variation now shows an "*" icon next to its name, to indicate that the state is different from the saved one.
  • Upon loading a Rack preset, the first variation to match the preset's Macro Control dials is set as last recalled, to indicate which variation is active. (Note: due to limitations in how Macro Control dials are restored upon loading a document, this does not work in regular loading scenarios.)

• When any of the following plug-ins are loaded, MPE will be enabled by default in those devices:

  • Audio Damage Continua
  • Audio Damage Phosphor 3
  • Cherry Audio DCO-106
  • Newfangled Audio Pendulate

• Updated various info texts.
• The default Jump Follow Action Target value is now "1" (which will now fire the first slot), instead of "0" (which stopped playback).
• Grid lines now have a more even base opacity between themes. Default grid lines are now easier to distinguish. The inactive foreground color of the Session and Arrangement View selector buttons now matches Live's other main view selector buttons.

Bugfixes:

• Core Library:
  • Added missing default presets for Legacy Audio Effects
• Accessing a dict that is too large from Max via Javascript or when the device is open for editing no longer crashes but instead prints an error.
• Sending a dictionary from Max that is too large now prints a more descriptive error.
• Fixed a bug that prevented users from loading presets of Max for Live devices that they owned, or Racks containing such devices, by double-clicking.
• Fixed a crash when running the "Convert Melody to New MIDI Track" command on a specific sample on Windows.
• Previously, using "Alt" with the scroll wheel on a hovered Arrangement lane header would not always resize that lane.
• Previously, toggling Solo via the Edit menu command or the "S" keyboard shortcut ignored the selection on the content of a linked take lane, and instead toggled Solo for the highlighted track.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a certain clip.
• The progress dialog that appears when exporting audio or freezing a track would look incorrect when external audio instruments or effects were being used.
• Under certain conditions, opening a context menu on the main automation lane would not collapse an existing time selection on other tracks / lanes. 

New features and improvements:

• The user will see a new default preset for the Compressor device.
• The Frequency Dial Mode, MIDI Gate switch, Modulation Mode, Mono/Poly switch, Pitch Mode, Pitch Bend Range and Polyphony of Spectral Resonator can now be read, set, and observed via Max for Live.
• Updated the "What's New in Live" lesson, and added some small fixes to various other lessons.
• Updated various Help View lesson translations in DE, ES, FR, IT, JA and ZH.
• Live can now detect whether VST2 and AU plugins support MPE and automatically place them in MPE mode if so. Note that this relies on the plugins correctly reporting that they support MPE; many MPE-capable plugins do not yet do this, so the impact of this change is limited for the time being.
• Users of the Python API (control surfaces, Max for Live) are now able to observe changes to the number macro variations in Instrument and Drum Racks.
• "Copy Selection to Main Lane" entry is now removed from the Edit menu and is added to the take lane context menu instead of "Draw Mode" entry with a separator line below.
• Improved contrast in the Light Theme selection colors.
• For Spectral Resonator, modulation modes should sound similarly loud. Old sets+presets should sound the same.
• Added info text for take lanes.
• When using the rubber-band tool in the velocity or probability editor to select notes, only notes whose head is in the selection rectangle will be selected. This makes it easier to precisely select notes when they are overlapping in time.
• When using Draw Mode with Pitch Lock enabled to create notes in the MIDI editor, the note velocity now remains fixed unless the Cmd (Ctrl on Windows) modifier is pressed.
• Max for Live
  • Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.1.9 Beta 2bed8a1 
    • Updated Live Object Model Documentation
    • Fixed crash on startup in some cases (Frameworks plist issue)

Bugfixes:

• When using Live in German, the CPU meters in the CPU meter drop-down are now properly aligned.
• Fix that swapping take lane content with Cmd/Ctrl + Arrow Up/Down would not work repeatedly when content in a take lane of a linked track is selecting and the take lanes in another linked track are not visible, e.g. because the track is folded.
• Fixes that Live hangs and must be forced to quit when turning Audio Engine 'Off' in some cases.
• Fixes a bug where flattening a MIDI track would cause sidechain routings from it to be disconnected.
• Fixes a crash when deleting or moving a track that contains a video clip in the arrangement on Windows.
• No more crashes when navigating highlighted return tracks with the arrow keys.
• Fix issues where clip names were not drawn correctly in draw mode.
• Deactivating a Max for Live device that outputs audio does not cause a click anymore.
• If a Live set was loaded and an audio clip was immediately loaded into the detail view, wrong information about the sample could have been displayed (e.g. 16-bit when the file really had a 24-bit resolution). This is now fixed. Until the sample is online, nothing is shown, and once the sample is online, the correct information is shown.
• Fixes the following bug: if the tempo follower was turned on while nudging or if recording was turned on while nudging and while tempo follower was already on, then the visual aspect of the tempo automation (gray/red for overriden/enabled) would not be updated until the tempo follower had generated a tempo update.
  Also, when nudging while tempo following is on, releasing the nudging button doesn't introduce a tempo jump anymore.
• The parameters' size does not "flicker" when changing banks in all devices and especially changing the "section" parameter of Hybrid Reverb.
• Disabled Crop and Reverse context menu entries for point in time selection.
• The auto-select button icon in rack devices is now visible when dark theme is on.
• Fix that unlinking tracks after clicking or right-clicking on a track
  header's link icon would not unlink linked tracks in folded group tracks.
• Preserve the selection of grouped tracks when folding and unfolding a track.
• Previously, when deleting the last event of a per-note event automation, the dotted-line was stuck at the position of the last event. Now, the dotted-line correctly returns to its proper initial position.
• Fixed a bug that caused graphic issues with certain plugins on macOS.

New features and improvements:

• Devices have been moved from the Core Library into the application bundle.
• Core Library:
  • Added new (MPE) Instrument Racks
  • Added presets for MPE Control
  • Added new Grooves
  • Added new MIDI Clips
  • Macro colours, names and positions got refined
  • Acoustic Drum Racks now have Macro Variations and improved effects processing
  • Please note: File names and locations may change until the official release. Remember to "collect all and save" when working with the Live 11 Beta Core Library and new and updated Packs!
• Updated the What's New in Live lesson.
• Updated info text translations in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese languages.
• Unified the outline color of the Arrangement Overview, Clip View Selector, and Device View Selector.
• The CPU overload notification can now be disabled in the Control Bar via a new "CPU Overload Indication" entry in the CPU meter's dropdown menu, and in the Overload Indicator's context menu.
• There is no longer a double border around the automation/velocity/probability value editing/display box.
• A recording clip will no longer show the fades of any clips that are overridden.

• The following markers now look slightly different:

  • Clip start/end and loop start/end markers in the Detail View (when a single clip is selected)
  • The Follow Action Time marker in the Detail View
  • Loop start/end markers in the Arrangement
  • The insert marker in the Arrangement
• The MPE Control device's background now respects Live's themes.
• When using the Hybrid device, the Status Bar will now only show the notification that an IR has been trimmed upon dragging and dropping a file, or selecting an IR from the User category. The notification will now also disappear immediately upon loaded an IR that is not trimmed.
• Added a dedicated info text for source highlights on take lanes.
• On Push 2, the Corpus device shows a graph visualization for its filter and has an improved UI.
• Updated the Scene View's background color.

• Added some visual changes to the piano roll and MIDI Note Editor:

  • The width of scale highlighting on piano roll keys has increased from three pixels to eight pixels.
  • Scale highlighting now starts on the very first pixel of the MIDI Note Editor's key tracks.
  • A shaded vertical line is drawn on MIDI notes when they are cut on the left.
• In Automation Mode, when creating a selection on a linked track's automation lane, choosing one of the following commands from the context menu will now apply that action to all linked tracks: Rename, Deactivate Clip, Split, Consolidate, Create Fade, Reset Fades, Freeze Track, Crop Clip(s), and Reverse Clip(s). After the action is applied, Live selects the content of affected lanes, and undoing the action restores the initial content selection.
• When copying and pasting clips from a folded Group Track, take lane clips are no longer copied and take lanes are not considered as target lanes for pasting clips. Also, whether a target Group Track is folded or unfolded, pasting clips there from a folded Group Track now produces the same result.
• Users should see more reliable engine performance on machines with the Apple M1 CPU.
• The spacing between the buttons that are used to toggle velocity, probability, and per-note expression lanes in the MIDI editor is improved.
• Users will have to wait less time when creating new sets.
• Changed the label on the "probability" lane of the MIDI editor, and reduce the width of the vertical rulers.
• Plugin windows are not animated on Mac anymore when the plugin asks for a resize, which looks better.
• Max for Live users will get access to Hybrid Reverb properties available in the Live API.
• Max for Live
  • Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.1.9 Beta 3e5058b 
    • Fonts: fixed crash on startup when font doesn't have a display name or full name
    • live.banks: fixed bank renaming in response to '-' argument
    • live.banks: fixed crash when adding a new bank with index 1 when banks are empty
    • Max for Live: fixed crash when deleting some devices

Bugfixes:

• Core Library:
  • Added missing groove previews
• On Push 2, the Spectral Resonator device's PBend Range control is now shown in semitone units and is more sensitive.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when Live attempted to select a hidden track, under certain circumstances.
• Previously, some menu commands would not work correctly, or could even crash, when switching between note editing and per-note expression editing.
• Previously, right-clicking on a track header's link icon would not select all linked tracks, if that track had been nested within a Group Track multiple times.
• In Session View, when a track is highlighted but no slot is selected, pressing the left/right arrow key now moves the highlight to the previous or next track.
• When clicking on a scene number, the selection behavior is now consistent with clicking in the adjacent scene name area.

• Fixed the following bugs in the MPE Control device:

  • Previously, Global Pitch Bend messages were interpreted as Note Pitch Bend messages, under certain circumstances.
  • Previously, Global AT values could be reset to zero when a new note was triggered.
• The Hybrid Reverb device is now correctly displayed on Push 2.
• Previously, when zooming closely enough on a MIDI clip that its notes displayed their note names, altered notes such as "A#" were clipped to only show "A". Now, note names that do not fit the view are no longer displayed.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when merging tracks from existing Sets that contained multichannel Max for Live devices.
• Nudging behaves as expected when used while the Tempo Follower is active (i.e., the tempo does not change in the Control Bar when a Nudge button is pressed).
• Control surface preferences are reset, and saving and recalling control surface preferences works correctly again.
• The parameters for Phaser-Flanger are grouped meaningfully on Push 1+2. Parameter names on Push are now correct.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when applying extreme modulation to filters within various built-in devices.
• Fixes a bug that caused the loss of all expression data in a clip when changing note velocities using the draw tool in the velocity editor.
• Fixes a bug when the only selected note’s curve could be dragged similarly to a multi-curve drag scenario.
• Fixes that the source highlight info text would not be shown on the top part of a highlight in draw mode.
• Fix that adding new tracks via keyboard shortcuts or from the "Create" menu would not consider the current selection of take lanes and automation lanes and always add them at the end of the tracks.

New features and improvements:

• Updated various info texts and the What's New in Live lesson.
• The follow action time widget in the scene follow action will use the scene's time signature if it's active and all selected scenes have the same time signature, otherwise it will use the song's time signature.

• On Push:

  • The second page of macros will always show if any of them are mapped, irrespective of the rack being folded or unfolded
  • Pressing the second page of macros while it is selected opens and closes the rack's devices (except for drum racks, where the main rack device showing the first page of macros doesn't do that either)
  • Holding the second page of macros shows the chain selector view, just like the main rack device which shows the first page of macros
  • When you are viewing the macros of a rack, and there is a second page of macros as one of the macros 9-16 are mapped, you can now press the "Enter" button to enter the rack.
• When using draw mode in the velocity/probability editor, the handles and notes that will be affected (depending on the current grid setting) are now highlighted.
• Double clicking specific Hybrid eq parameters resets them to new default values.
• The option to upload to SoundCloud has been disabled.
• Max for Live
  Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.1.9 Beta 7d725bf 
  • Add and implement GetBGColor

Bugfixes:

• After inserting take lanes in a linked track group track highlight was moved to the last track in the linked group. Now the highlight is preserved. On inserting take lanes the selection cursor item should not be set either as it would change the track highlight later when user unselects a lane with CMD+Click.
  
  This fixes as well the scrolling behaviour. After inserting take lanes arrangement was always scrolling to the last inserted lane. Now it only scrolls to the highlighted track when necessary (when after inserting a lane highlighted track was not visible anymore). If the track highlight was not on any of the inserted take lanes, track highlight will be set on the track of last inserted take lane.
• Fix inconsistencies when copying & pasting, duplicating and nudging clips in invisible take lanes of tracks within linked track groups. These clips are ignored.
  This also fixed crashes that could occur when pasting, moving or nudging hidden linked take lane clips.
• Fix that Live would crash when stopping a recording after linking tracks while they are recording.
• Fix that crossfade curve adjustments occasionally jump when dragging the curve handle with the mouse.
• It's possible to delete racks with a 2nd bank and continue to use Push 2.
• Fixes a bug where the Show/Hide Editor button was not available (when loaded with set or as device preset).
• Fixed a bug where, when the song was stopped and restarted while a follow action was already triggered (flashing), the current clip would be played rather than the following clip. Starting the following clip immediately when resuming the song or when scrubbing is consistent with Live 10 behavior, with unlinked follow actions, and with linked follow actions that have a multiplier of 2x or more.

• Fixed:

  • renaming in the browser might lead to a crash
  • copying folder or files from project to project might crash
  • instantiating a plugin with special characters in the plugin name might crash
• When a set of slots is selected and the initial anchor of the extended selection is not in the set anymore, the selection can still be extended from the remaining selected slots.
• There were 1px high areas between and below the velocity/probability editors where it was possible to zoom-scoll the editor. These are too small to be useful, so they're removed.
• Fixed a bug where extracting a groove and then saving in the groove pool would make Live crash.
• Fixed a bug where Live crashed when pressing CMD/CTRL+A in MIDI Editor after first clicking in slide/pressure lane (Note Expressions).
• Under Certain Circumstances, there was a visual glitch around the groove pool chooser in the browser side bar.

New features and improvements:

• Hitting the return key when the tempo or time signature widgets are selected selects the scene header.
• The left/right arrow keys now navigate to the tempo and time signature widgets as well.
• Pressing the return key when the tempo or time signature widgets are selected selects the scene header instead of launching the scene. The scene only launches when the header is selected.
• While text editing the scene name, tempo or time signature values, pressing tab or shift+tab navigates to next or previous widget accordingly while remaining in text editing mode. The navigation goes to the next or previous scene when reaching the last or first widget in a scene.
• The Release Velocity in NoteLenght is now set to 0 by default.
• Spectral Resonator and Spectral Time will now save CPU by deactivating when silent (and by extension deactivating all downstream devices).
• When using the arrow/up down keys in the velocity/probability editor to adjust values, the new value range is indicated briefly in the ruler on the left.
• Using draw mode with grid enabled in the velocity/probability editor now affects notes based on their precise start/end times. Previously, draw mode would affect notes based on where their "lollipop heads" were visible, which could affect notes outside of the clicked grid cell when zoomed out a lot.
• It is now possible to change the note selection in the MIDI editor using the arrow keys in combination with a modifier (Alt on Mac, Ctrl on Windows), even while editing or drawing per-note expression breakpoints.
• Updated the What's New in Live lesson.
• Upon loading an impulse response that exceeds our maximum possible size, users will now receive a message in the status bar that their impulse response has been shortened and still be able to use the trimmed file, rather than simply receiving a notification that 'The impulse response file is too long.' A previous crash when loading a True Stereo pair where one of the files was an appropriate length but all 4 channels together exceeded the buffer size is also implicitly fixed with this new scheme.
• When attempting to load an outdated user remote script, users will see a warning message (with a don't show again option) which explains that the script was written for an old version of Live and needs to be updated.
• Previously, the time selection would be cleared on mouse-up when selecting a single note in the per-note-events tabs.
  Now, the time selection stays the same when selecting a single note, and gets cleared only when interacting with the events. The time selection is synced back when clicking on the note again, or switching to the notes' tab.
• Key name labels come closer to the separator lines when there is not enough space (e.g. full zoom out)
• A horizontal line at the top of the key range is removed, and doesn't come across the "C8" label anymore when the ruler is fully zoomed out (in particular, in the "disabled view").
• In Envelope mode ("disabled piano ruler"):
  • Fixed the condition for drawing the keys or not
  • The vertical separator line at the left of the ruler remains visible
  • A vertical line is not displayed anymore at the right when keys are invisible
  • The ruler remains aligned when the MIDI editor contains no notes, in the case where the keys are fully zoomed-out.
    
• Core Library:
  • Added new (MPE) Instrument Racks and Drum Racks
  • Added new presets for Spectral Resonator, Spectral Time and Redux
  • Improved Wavetable default preset: Includes a Press mapping to Warp and a Slide mapping to OSC 1 Position
  • Please note: File names and locations may change until the official release. Remember to "collect all and save" when working with the Live 11 Beta Core Library and new and updated Packs!
• Max for Live
  • Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.1.9 Beta 0c70a11 
    • CEF / jweb: update to CEF (primarily for MacOS and Apple Silicon compatibility)
    • Clippings: new Global.db2Value clipping
    • M4L Device: "locked Patcher Background Color" works
    • send~/receive~: fixed freeze when setting names of objects (fixes Vector FM device)

Bugfixes:

• The Max MIDI Effect device is now correctly capitalized (was Max Midi Effect)
• Live does not crash anymore with a beatseeker assert.
• Fixes a bug where dragging a groove onto either the groove box or the clip detail view caused a crash when content editing was disabled (e.g. because not all MIDI clips are looped or because not all audio clips have the same length and set of warp markers).
• Fixes a crash that could occur when making a time selection while editing expression envelopes.
• When tabbing the session view between windows, the scene name remains in the same position in the scene header.
• Fixes a bug whereby LFO would create an additional unnecessary undo step when mapping the device to a parameter. Envelope MIDI now instantiates with MPE active, so that MPE data can pass through and reach other devices in the device chain.
• This fixes an issue where wrong values of per-note expression would be played when having ramps or curves between breakpoints.
• On macOS, Live does not crash in rare circumstances when audio interfaces change.
• Fixes two bugs: a) notes which were made as small as possible and which were located at the left edge of the visible range of the note editor could not be selected with the rubberband, and b) these notes would not be displayed in the velocity and probablility editors.
• Deleting an audition take lane will now be correctly reflected in the audio engine. Adding/deleting an auditioned take lane clip will now be correctly reflected in the audio engine.
• Fixes a rare crash caused by Live trying to show the user mathematically impossible colors.
• Fixes a bug where for unlooped MIDI clips, no notes would be drawn beyond the end of the "unlooped loop" (the clip end marker).
• Fixes a crash where pressing a high note on the computer MIDI keyboard would crash when the keyboard octave was set to C8.

• Core Library:
  • Some MIDI clips opened with wrong grooves selected

New features and improvements:

• The (previously so called) "Invert Wet" parameter of Phaser-Flanger is now called "FB Inv" on Push and in Max for Live.
• It is now possible to switch the tempo follower on/off from the Live API.
• Controls that open and close views are less visually distracting.
• Show clips of all linked tracks in Detail view in Automation mode.
• Cleanup out of note bounds per note events during note resizing from keyboard shortcut shift+left.

Bugfixes:

• Fix bug "Audio samples dragged into Live after renaming them in Live's browser shows wrong name"
• Fix bug "Browser: a M4L device cannot be moved into another folder when over a M4L device in the target folder."
  Fix bug "Live produces weird folders when saving presets"
• When closing Live, it does not crash anymore in rare circumstances.
• Fixes a bug where clicking on a scene while another scene is scheduled as a follow action would launch the follow action instead of the clicked scene.
• Fix bug "Regression: Drum Racks from L10 Curated Collections show up in Audio Effects/Utilities/Audio Effect Racks/Drums "
• Fixed a bug where the Indexer crashes on macOS 10.15.
  Fixed a bug where the Live index quits unexpectedly.
• A couple of UX fixes/tweaks in the magnitude editor:
  • Fixed: Cmd-dragging a magnitude marker would add the note to the selection (but Cmd-clicking doesn't; the multiselection modifier is Shift in the MIDI editor) which made it hard to change velocity ranges of multiple notes in a row because the selection would be extended each time
  • Velocity ranges are no longer shown in draw mode when you hold Cmd
  • The "line tool" or "ruler tool" in the magnitude editor in draw mode was moved to the Option modifier on Mac (Ctrl on Windows) to allow using Cmd (Alt on Windows) to control the grid
  • The grid is respected again in draw mode: If the grid is on, draw mode affects all markers in the current grid cell.
  • You can press Cmd (Alt on Windows) to invert the current "grid enabled" setting; the grid lines visually indicate this
  • Removed an incorrect sentence saying that you can use Shift to make draw mode affect only the selected notes (the corresponding behavior was changed in 2008 and the info text was never touched)
  • Added a sentence to the info text explaining the modifier for the line/ruler tool
• The spectrum visualization does not stop anymore when Hybrid Reverb is grouped in a rack.
• Fix that "Cut Time" and "Duplicate Time" did not copy take lane clips.
• Fix that dragging & dropping clips including clips from a folded group track could crash in certain cases.
• When interacting with breakpoints of per-note expression curves, curved segments now correctly preserve their shape.
• Using the jump follow action to jump to a slot with no stop button will no longer crash and will just do nothing.

New features and improvements:

• The Audio Effects categories have been refined.
• Velocity of probability lane can be activated by clicking on the "header" / vertical ruler view on the left
• The active lane's header has a highlighted background.
• When the MIDI velocity or probability editor is very small, it's now easier to drag the markers to precise values. It's now also possible to hold the Shift key to allow fine-tuning the values with further increased precision.
  When changing MIDI note velocities or probabilities with the up/down arrow key, the value changes in steps of 10 by default.
  Again, you can hold the the Shift key to increase the precision and change the value in steps of 1. Previously, this behavior was inverted. It has been changed to match the usual "fine tune" modifier conventions in Live.
  In order to change velocity ranges with the keyboard, it is now sufficient to hold Cmd on Mac / Ctrl on Windows. Previously, the modifier was Cmd+Shift. It was changed to allow using the fine tune modifier also to change velocity ranges.
• The probability lane remains active when the velocity lane is made visible.
• On Push, when pressing and holding a note in any sequencer and clip view, the velocity range displayed should go from -127 to 127 and have a + sign in front of it when positive.
• For Hybrid Reverb, the user will now be able to use the arrows near the impulse response dropdowns to flip through impulse responses even while Convolution is technically inactive at Blend 100 in Parallel mode.
• The mixer button to show and hide the CPU metering section has been changed to the letter 'c'.
• Cleanup out of note bounds per note events during operations that causes selected notes to be resized. Such operations are Legato, Quantize, Reverse, Midi stretch markers and mul2/div2.
  Expression curves no longer "squish" destructively when dragged up or down, i.e., if you drag a curve upwards or downwards until it squishes, dragging it back in the opposite direction during the same gesture will restore its previous shape.
• In multi-clip editing, with large numbers of arrangement clips selected, this makes switching the foreground clip, switching on and off focus mode, and deselecting all clips a lot faster.
• Allows users to show or hide keyword folders in some browser labels (Instruments, AudioFX).

Bugfixes:

• For Hybrid Reverb, loading mono IR presets works without problems now.

• When a time selection is set from the magnitude editors (velocity, probability)

  • The state of Chance UI controls (Velocity Range and Randomize Value) are now updated accordingly
  • The Transpose slider will correctly affect the notes from background clip effectively falling in this time selection.
• When a probability value is entered for the selected notes using the keyboard, the value box now appears centered horizontally on the selected lollipops.
• The detail view's leftmost border is aligned with the browser again when the info view is closed.
• Fixes some inconsistencies in the focus and selection behavior when clicking on automation lane envelope and device chooser, '+'-button and fold button.
• Fixes a flickering note highlight when hovering over a note while holding a key.
• Fix incorrect drawing of clip names on take lane clips when sample is offline or when monitoring is set to "In".
• Fixed a crash that could happen when zooming into a clip with a trackpad gesture.
• Fixed a crash that happened when a user requested Clip Warp Markers from a midi clip.
• The name of a Max For Live device is again visible in the device chain scroller.
• Fixes an issue where per-note pitchbend curves would show unexpected snap-to-semitone behavior.
• Insert take lanes in all linked tracks even if not all linked track headers are selected.
• This fixes an issue where wrong values of per-note expression would be played when having ramps or curves between breakpoints.
• This lets users route audio into Max for Live Instruments over input 1 / 2 again.
• Browser: Fix keeping column setup for color labels
• Fix rename folders
• Before, when unfreezing a track with a Hybrid reverb, changing the impulse response and then selecting 'freeze track' again, live would use the frozen file rather than compute a new one.
• LFO scope would not function properly if the device was instantiated while the audio engine was not active.
• LFO might fail to display the LFO waveform under certain circumstances.
• DS-Kick would click when triggered with the mouse.
• Fixes some crashes related to (nested) group tracks.
• Don't enable warp so often when replacing samples
• Audio hangs if in Live 9 created Simple Delay clip automation on audio track is changed in the Delay Device
  
• Core Library
  • Some Hybrid Reverb presets opened with the wrong algorithm type selected

  • A missing sample was reported when loading the Hybrid Reverb preset Voice Plate.adv

  • Some mod wheel mappings in Wavetable presets have been disabled

New features and improvements:

• When there is a time selection in the MIDI editor:

  • Velocity Range now has the correct enabled/disabled state depending on whether some notes of the foreground clip are included or not in this selection
  • Velocity Range now displays the correct deviation value that corresponds to the notes included in the time selection
  • Velocity Range now applies only to the notes included in the time selection
    
    In Multi-Clip Selection:
  • Randomization value is now enabled if only notes from the foreground clips are selected / in time selection, and disabled otherwise (thereby behaving just like the Velocity Range control).
• Progress dialogs such as the pack installation dialog will now show progress below the bar, to make them easier to read in all themes.
• Hybrid gets a bit more efficient
• In Push, Hybrid Reverb Width was renamed to Stereo. Adedd Bass Mono parameter for Hybrid Reverb Global Bank on Push.
• A lot more convolution impulse responses are available
• Added info text for linked track indicator.
• The Track And Clip Colors > Reduced Automatic Colors preference now takes effect immediately rather than at the next loaded song.
• Users cannot toggle MPE Mode for their Max for Live devices via the context menu anymore. It's up to the device developer to set the "is_mpe" attribute in Max.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed that Live shows a "Setup Core Library..." modal dialog on every startup (and not only on the first or after an update).
• Sometimes when dragging a scene's numerator field and then dragging the denominator field, the numerator would change when dragging the denominator.
• Live no longer crashes when right-clicking on a Send control in Arrangement view when that Send is controlled by Max (e.g. LFO).
• Fix that Live would crash when a user clicks on the link button on an arrangement track header and some linked tracks are contained in a folded group track.
• Users will no longer experience a fatal program crash when loading a True Stereo IR where one of the files is mono.
• Fix that dragging clips would not move all clips when the selection contains a folded group track.
• Previously, esp. for audio tracks the start and stop times of recording would differ at tiny bit. That would break the linked editing of those clip starts and stop times across the link.
• Fixed a reproducible crash when pressing (CMD + A) in Pressure lane (Note Expressions)
• MIDI notes can be quantized in focus mode and when editing multiple clips.
• Impulse presets show again sample names.
• Fixed a crash that could happen while moving tracks with Max for Live devices on it.
• Fixes swapping when there are no highlights on any take lanes in the selection and fixes selecting take lane on swap from inaudible to audible region.
• MIDI note names were slightly visible in the envelope editor, especially underneath the "shade" of modulation envelopes.
• Fix some inconsistencies/bugs with samples/videos without "audio data".
• Tiny text fixes.
• This fixes a bug where the Live clip editor would always switch to the expression tab when holding a note by pressing and holding a pad on Push.
• Fixed a crash when launching a clip via Key/MIDI mapping if the clip is in a track that's grouped at least twice, the outer group track is folded and the "Select on Launch" preference is on.
• Under Certain Circumstances, an incorrect value would be displayed in the scene's time signature widget in the master track after reordering scenes via drag&drop.
• The Fold and Scale buttons next to the MIDI editor are now (un)checked correctly after loading a set.
• The text on buttons showing a multi-selection with different values could show a colored fringe on some UI zoom levels.
