Ableton Live

What's new in this version:

New Features and Improvements:
Control Surfaces:
- Added control surface support for the Novation Launch Control XL 3
- Improved device navigation in newer control surfaces (such as APC64 and Move) in order to better account for device selections made in Live

Updated the Komplete Kontrol S MK3 Control Surface:
- Track meters are displayed using the track's color
- Encoders can fine-tune parameter values while Shift is held
- The tempo can be controlled in Tempo mode (accessed via Shift + Metro)
- Devices can be selected, controlled, and viewed in Plugin mode

Interface:
- Updated various software text translations in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.
- Updated software text in various areas of Live
- The following Kilohearts plug-ins are now shown as MPE-compatible: Phase Plant, Mulitpass, and Snap Heap
- On Windows, the GPU renderer now displays icons more quickly, improving the responsiveness in the browser, mixer, and Session views when expanded to a large size

Move Control Surface:
- When using Move in Control Live Mode, the parameter mappings of Auto Filter are now consistent with Standalone Mode

Fixed:
Live Bugfixes:
- Fixed an issue where the content of the Clip View's editor would disappear when zooming in a non-playing clip with the + or - keys while Follow mode was active
- Fixed a cut-off label that appeared in the Record, Warp & Launch Settings when using Live in French
- Fixed a bug that caused an offset at the start of the recording when resampling audio
- Fixed a crash that occurred when moving the insert marker with arrow keys while dragging a breakpoint with the mouse at the same time
- Fixed an issue where the color entries were missing from the Arrangement clip context menu after renaming a clip
- Sample rate, bit depth, and channel count are now displayed in the Clip View when multiple audio clips are selected, as expected
- Fixed an issue where Collision's noise generator would randomly skip MIDI notes during playback when switching between Noise and Mallet
- Fixed a bug where Analog would sometimes skip first note with the buffer size set to 32 samples
- Live now correctly updates the color of the waveform in the Clip View when muting and unmuting an audio clip
- Fixed a bug where Arrangement clips starting at 1.1.1 would sometimes fail to send a program change when starting playback immediately after loading a Set
- Fixed MIDI program change for some VST3 plug-ins, including Korg M1, Sylenth1, and Viper
- Fixed a crash that occurred while playing back audio clips
- Fixed a bug where bouncing to a new track was not disabled when the Arrangement time selection contained only take lane clips
- Tracks with a selection only containing take lane clips or muted Arrangement clips are now ignored when bouncing to a new track. Before this fix, this would have created empty tracks without any clips
- Fixed a crash that occurred when zooming the Arrangement View via the Python API while renaming a locator
- When Live is synced to a MIDI clock leader, the latency between the leader and Live is reduced and no longer changes with the tempo. While the fix results in a more stable latency, it may change timing in old Sets where Live was synced to an external MIDI clock source, so the -UseLegacyExtMidiClockIncrement option can be added to the Options.txt file to revert to the original behavior.
- Fixed an issue that occurred when bouncing a track with a delay or reverb effect, where the resulting effect tail clip of a clip that was followed by a muted clip before the bounce would have an incorrect length and and an incorrect name
- Fixed an issue that occurred if an effect tails clip was overlapping a muted clip, where the tail clip would be split at the border of the muted clip
- Fixed a bug where, in muted clips, a bounced clip and effect tail clip would be created if the track had a generator-like effect such as Vinyl Distortion
- Fixed a crash that occurred when opening .ablbundle files when no User Library was configured
- Fixed an issue in Drift where enabling the Mono and Oscillator Retrigger modes in Drift then playing a note and holding it while pressing another note would not change the pitch of the oscillators
- Fixed a bug in Auto Filter where a new value for the SC Gain parameter value was not correctly saved when saving the changes as a new default preset
- The LFO step quantizer in Auto Filter will now correctly take into account the LFO Phase and LFO Phase Offset parameter values when the values are changed during playback
- Fixed a crash on macOS that occurred when attempting to open a Set with a removed alias file
- Fixed a bug where the first file would be overwritten when exporting two tracks with the same name but different capitalization when using the Selected Tracks Only export option
- Fixed an issue that caused graphical artifacts with automation curves that used a large number of breakpoints
- Plug-in scanning and browser indexing is now faster on Windows
- Fixed a crash that occurred when dragging corrupt MIDI files into Live
- Fixed a crash that occurred when loading a Set containing MP3 files if the set cache folder was missing
- When loading a Move or Note Set in Live, the Melodic Sampler instrument is converted to Simpler with the expected number of voices
- Capture will no longer clear its buffer when notes are played over a playing clip and the transport is stopped. Previously, the buffer could be unintentionally cleared in some cases
- Fixed a bug where changes to playing session clips were not reflected if the take lane audition switch was enabled for that track
- On Windows, the GPU renderer no longer causes unexpected pauses longer than 100ms in certain scenarios, such as when displaying all automation envelopes in the Arrangement view

Fixed:
- Added a speculative fix for an issue that prevented Push 2 from starting after updating to Live 12.2 on Windows
