Push with Live 11 - Release Notes

Push 1.2.10 and Live 11.3.30

September 4, 2024

New features and improvements

  • In Session Screen Mode, scene numbers above 99 are now displayed correctly.

Bugifixes

  • When loading a Set whose first track is MIDI, pink track Arm buttons will now always be set up correctly in Live. 
  • Fixed an issue where the Swing and Tempo encoder would sometimes appear not to work when adjusting the swing amount.  
  • Fixed an issue where Push in Standalone Mode would be not visible in the Push label of Live’s browser.  
  • Fixed an issue that prevented Push from starting in Standalone mode if the Core Library was missing or corrupted. 
  • The dedicated Swing encoder on Push and the Quantize menu entry for swing now always show the same value. 
  • When scrolling away from a drum pad that is currently being hot-swapped, the swap browser is now closed when the pad is out of view.

  • The Stop Clip button on Push 2 now constantly blinks while the stop mode is locked. 
  • Fixed a bug that caused audio effects that were added to individual drum pads in a Rack to be added to the wrong pad. 
  • Live no longer hangs when extracting chains from Drum Racks with Push 3 connected.  
  • Updated the font on the push.local web pages. 
  • Fixed a speculative issue where Push in Standalone mode could erroneously start up and ask whether or not to recover a Set.

  • Reduced the possibility that Push in Standalone Mode will display an unexpected prompt about Set recovery at startup. 
  • When selecting different tracks in Live while Push is connected, an armed track which is currently recording will now carry on recording. 
  • Non-white text in Push's display is now bolder and clearer in some areas of the UI (e.g., in Settings, track list, Session screen, Scales menu).
