Improvements:
- Context menu in zone editor has two new entries:
- Select all parts with same range.
- Reload loops from file.
- Easier macro-mapping by adding the "Map to Macro .." menu to each context menu of a device parameter within a group.
- Deferred opening of sample files when loading all kind of documents (Live sets, presets, live clips, ...) which are saved with Live version 6.0.3 or later.
- Prohibit render/freeze/consolidate as long as there are samples decoding or deferred loading.
- Several multi-sample import improvements.
- Several improvements related to scene selection:
- Select scene on remote launch.
- Synchronizing the highlight and selection in more cases.
- Setting track highlight to return when clicking o a return Slot.
- Setting track highlight to Master when navigating from slot to scene by arrow.
- Performance improvement for documents with very large numbers of MIDI clips in the arranger.
- Performance improvement for the loading of Live clips.
- Crop samples via context menu for for selections in session and arranger.
Bug fixes:
- Unpacking .alp package files containing audio files without file extensions (like .wav, .aif, ...) would not work properly or even crash Live.
- Exported MIDI clip would also contain muted notes.
- Undo for the deletion of a track in solo mode would not work properly.
- Live would crash for "Undo delete track" during a track renaming.
- Certain presets would crash Live when they loaded with activated KEY or MIDI mapping mode.
- Under certain conditions Live could crash when deeply zoomed into a long audio file.
- Loading a rack preset containing AU or VST plug-ins which would not be available would lead to a crash.
- The check to prevent the creation of frozen files > 2 GB would not work properly.
- A problem with the first MIDI note of a MIDI recording.
- A potential crash when dragging (not loading) a Live set into Live, where the dragged Live set contains modified compressed audio files. (mp3 files for instance).
- For warp master clips that are longer than one loop iteration, the tempo for the last warp marker was incorrect.
- Changing the Arp's 'Gate' parameter value could get the Arp to go out of sync.
- A track volume of -inf would not cut the audio signal.
- Certain audio wav files with instrument chunks would not load in Live.
- The MIDI scale device would always "swallow" MIDI notes of pitch 0 & 127.
- Changing the min/max value in the mapping browser would not work properly for certain parameter. (for instance Beat Repeat's "Interval" parameter).
- Setting the Phase in several LFO driven devices (Auto Pan for instance) does not affect the audio while transport is stopped.
- Under certain conditions a playing clip would triggered because of a parameter change.
- Arranger recording of unwarped clips would not work properly.
- Setting the chance value of the MIDI Random Device to 100% would only work as 99%.
- The choice and scale values of the MIDI Random device would not be quantized properly to integer values.
- Soft-Takeover would not work for 14 bit CC and PitchBend.
- Crash when drag'n drop objects from third party VST plug-ins directly into Live. (for instance when drag a MIDI pattern from FXpansion Guru into Live).
- Setting the Arp device to "hold" mode could lead to an unpredictable behavior.
- Crash when leaving the MIDI map mode after mapping PitchBend to a clip slot.
- Under certain conditions sending MIDI Feedback caused by MIDI mapped value changes (like parameter automations for instance) could lead to a crash on multi core/processor machines.
- Scrubbing within a clip detail view via mouse move with left button pressed would not work properly when global record was enabled.
- When un-grouping a rack inside a rack, the macro mapping for the chain selector on the inner rack was cleared.
- Hot-Swap button was accidentally disabled if the effect or instrument device was disabled.
- When install upgrade packages, sample files could be accidentally de-installed.
- 'Fire selected scene' via MIDI Controller surface would not select the next scene.
- Based on rounding problems there could be a difference between the value of an absolute MIDI control and the value display of a Macro mapped to that control.
- The 'Return' key could not be used to turn off Hot-Swap mode when device chain is selected.
- Under certain conditions CompressorI could crash when the incoming audio signal has a very high level.
- Loop length modulation for Sampler would not work properly and could caused a flashing "Red D" under certain conditions.
- Endless loop in the Beat Repeat device would not work properly for a very high tempo. (> 600 BPM).
- Sending MIDI Events from Live to a ReWire slave would not work properly for multiple tracks.
- When soloing multiple tracks using learned MIDI or key, the un-soloing could keep a single track muted.
- Under certain conditions and depending on the routing, deleting of MIDI devices could result in 'hanging' notes.
- Live would not recognize customized the Desktop location. (Win only).
- The 'Arm' LED on Mackie Control was not correctly updated when freezing a track.
- The Tascam 1082 device did not work properly with the Mackie Control controller surface script.
- When the chain selector was deselected the selection frame would draw gray corners over the chain selector.
- A sample with loop on would crop at the sample end and not at the loop end.
- Follow actions would be accidentally stopped after global record was switched off.
- Entering Global Groove via keyboard would often ends up in wrong value.
- There was a inaccuracy when a value is typed into auto filter's cutoff frequency field.
- MIDI pre-listening would not work for clips that did not contain an instrument.
- The list of live packs in the preferences would not grow, e.g. after searching for packs on disk.
- In Live sets with many internal routings, monitored but unused audio tracks need more cpu load than in Live 5.
- Re-freeze of a clip after an unlinked envelope loop change would not work properly.
- "Ctrl 1..9" keys would no longer work on French keyboards. (Win only).
- Dumping the preset to a Behringer BCR or BCF would not work properly. (Error "Err22").
- Under certain conditions the Rubberband selection would not be visible in MIDI editor when using the piano keys for track selection.
- When closing the video window and then dragging a video clip around in the arranger, the video window would reopen.
- Sampler's morph filter would not work properly after a sample rate change.
- When samples go online or offline some views didn't update correctly. This could lead to problems playing clips after opening a document.
- When loading an AU factory presets into a document, any changes to the plug in after the preset load would be lost after saving and reloading the document. (Mac only).
- Avoid writing extra junk at the end of sound files, because some sound editors choke on this.
