Waveform 14 released.

Yeah, samples will guide you through - particularly for a first one.

Somebody here had asked for one to determine the length from start to end markers, and it was simpler than I figured - I was kind of surprised that this would work; but outpos - inpos actually worked properly without having to fiddle with minutes and seconds...

var inPos = Tracktion.getPosition('loopIn');
var outPos = Tracktion.getPosition('loopOut');
var secRange = outPos - inPos; // time in seconds between in and out
Tracktion.showMessage('Loop duration: ' + secRange);

In testing it, I realized myself I'd rather be able to simply MARK off a range graphically, and with a minor tweak this worked... without having to actually SET in and out markers

var inPos = Tracktion.getPosition('markIn');
var outPos = Tracktion.getPosition('markOut');
var secRange = outPos - inPos; // Length of marked region
Tracktion.showMessage('Marked duration: ' + secRange);

The "trickiest" part was realizing where to put it - it's in under Keyboard shortcuts way at the end under MACROs.

I have decided the free version is more than adequate for me, especially given all the instruments and effects included in the Pro version I already own, and don't need surround or AI.

So I caved, realised I couldn't use modulators in the rack which is an annoying limitation of the free version.

Is there a changelog somewhere? I’m interested in looking up more technical changes and fixes as well

If you run the actual installer file independent of the Download Manager you can see the changelog. On my system (Windows), the DM downloads the installer file into my Downloads folder and leaves it there, so I run it until I get the changelog and then cancel. I don't know if the same is true for other OSes.

May I ask if you went for the full upgrade or just one or two of the expansions? (I think our situations are probably very similar.)

That seems an oddly specific limitation.

I just got the basic pro update - even then I have Biotek 3 and Collective already. Also I have everything in the Studio Bundle already anyway, apart from the Retromod collection which doesn't interest me, nor does Dan Dean Bass and any of the sample content.

Ableton Full suite.
Hello logical workflow and a programe I can concentrate on making music and not have to be a computer programer to do simple stuff

To whom?

Well, to me, I guess. My understanding is that a rack is just a container for routing connections among multiple plug-ins. So I don't see why modulators should get special (or in this case, un-special) treatment. OTOH my experience with racks is pretty limited / shallow.

Because the modulators make the rack so much more powerful - I guess they see that as a 'Pro' feature - it does have the LFO but not MSEGs, Step seq etc

I've used the rack modulators before and only realised yesterday that they're a pro feature. I wouldn't say they're a huge part of my workflow, but definitely something I will miss if I don't get the full version.
