Ableton Live updated to v4.0.2

15th September 2004 - KVR Audio News

Ableton have updated Live to v4.0.2.

Improvements:

Previewing While Renaming Files in Browser - When a file was renamed in Live's browser the preview switch was switched off.
Swing Value Range - Increased the value range for swing.

Bugs fixed:

ReWire Master - When Live was the ReWire Master, switching to arranger or hiding I/O View caused an incorrect ReWire Slave to be activated.
ReWire Master to Reason: Loop - When Live was running as ReWire Master for Reason, and the loop was enabled, sometimes Reason would stand still for one loop cycle.
ReWire Master: Program Changes - When Live was running as ReWire Master, program change messages sent to the ReWire Slave were not correct.
ReWire Slave: Sample Rate - When running Live as ReWire Slave, only a sample rate of 44100 kHz worked correctly with some hosts.
Channel Enabling/Disabling for ASIO - Live would freeze when trying to enable/disable channels on multi channel audio interfaces using ASIO.
Load Documents with Reaktor as AU - Live would crash when loading a document containing Reaktor (as AU).
Rendering Long Song with Tempo Automation - Under special circumstances Live would crash when a long song with tempo automation was rendered.
Rendering MIDI Tracks - Rendering MIDI tracks would produce corrupt audio files under some circumstances.
Rendering MIDI with Plug-in Instruments - Often, the first bar was not completely rendered when a MIDI track containing a plug-in instrument was rendered.
Recording Files Larger Than 2GB - Live would crash when trying to record files larger than 2 GB. Now, when a recording file approaches the 2GB limit, its track is automatically and silently disarmed.
Session Overdub Recording with Global Record - When a session clip's loop settings were changed, it would update according to the clip update rate. Now it takes effect immediately.
Plug-in Instruments: Side Chain - First side chain input bus of instruments with multiple outs did not work.
Plug-in Instruments in Bypass - Plug-In instruments consumed still processor power when bypassed.
Plug-in Content - Some plug-ins did not locate content (i.e. Steinberg Plex.)
Sending of NRPNs - NRPNs were not correctly sent through Live and to plug-ins. With this bug fix the Korg Legacy Collection plug-ins will work in Live.
Missing Notes with Remote25 (USB) - There were missed notes when using the Novation Remote25 connected via USB.
Key and MIDI Mapping on Moved Effects/Instruments - When an effect or instrument was moved from one track into another track, all Key and MIDI mappings were lost.
<Delete> Key in Dialogs - Sometimes the <Delete> key did not work in dialogs.
Copy-Modifier Key - When using the Copy-modifier key it was necessary to hold it down before the mouse down. Now it can be done also after the mouse down.
Japanese Characters in File Name - It was not possible to open or save a Live set if the name or the path of the set contained Japanese characters.
Athlon 64 Compatibility - There were no sound and graphical updates on Athlon 64 machines running on Windows XP with Service Pack 2 with the new "Execution Protection" feature enabled.
Hyper Threading Compatibility - Audio performance was sometimes worse on computers with Hyper Threading enabled. For now Live switches to one logical CPU.
Running on Mac OS 10.1.5 - Live would not start on Mac OS 10.1.5
Automation Chooser for Tracks with MIDI Output - For tracks with a MIDI output, Mixer did not appear in the track automation chooser. Now it shows at least the "Speaker On" entry.
Dragging Looped Arranger Clips - When dragging the left edge of a looped arranger clip to the left, the offset marker was not folded correctly.
Mouse Wheel in Popup Windows - Sometimes mouse wheel in popup windows did not work as expected.
Play Selection - There were clicks in the audio when play selection (Shift + Space) was used.
Loop with Snap to Grid - When changing the clip loop settings, the loop would snap to the grid even if the grid was off.
