Ableton Live 11

Live keeps its preferences, places, etc when you upgrade. You can have multiple different versions installed too.

Thank you

If you don't like the wasted space in the new Live piano roll implementation, you're not alone. Go vote up the Centercode suggestion. I personally think the new scale implementation is massive overkill and makes the already poor representation of a piano even more confusing. Bitwig's is far better, and I don't actually care for Bitwig in most other ways.

I am wondering, Ableton Live had always this clean, streamlined look. Workflow was the most important thing. Now it feels a little bit disimproved, "verschlimmbessert" in german. New features are not evil, but never touch things, that work for many years very well.

rant/off

+1.

Live is still by far my favorite, but the menu item counts and features are starting to pile up. In particular, I don't think the new panes in the piano roll fit the overall design model very well. I rarely use them, yet they're always there.

11.0.5b3 Released

New features and improvements:

Pressing "Cmd"+"A" (Mac) / "Ctrl"+"A" (Win) now only selects track within the same Group Track hierarchy as the currently selected track(s). Previously, if a Group Track was selected, nested tracks were also selected.
The Overload Indicator is disabled by default for new Live 11 installations.
Performance improvements when deselecting many clips.

Bugfixes:

Selecting a device or parameter in a main automation lane's Device or Automation Control chooser now also changes the device or parameter in other selected main automation lanes.
MIDI note velocity values received by Live externally now match the values displayed in the UI.
Significantly improved Live's performance when selecting/unselecting a large number of clips to display in the Clip View.
Freezing a deactivated Arrangement clip no longer creates a tail clip. An Arrangement clip that was deactivated when its containing track was frozen can no longer be activated while that track is still frozen.
Fixed a crash that occurred when right-clicking on a track header to rename a track, or trying to edit the track's info text via the context menu, when a second Live window was open on Windows.
In the Clip View's Sample tab, when editing the Transposition/Cents value and then clicking or dragging the Pitch control, the focus will jump to the Transposition/Semitones field.
Presets which are not supported due to Live's current authorization state are no longer shown in Live's browser.
Fixed a crash when scrolling in the clip detail editor with the mouse button held down.
Fix a bug that generated spurious disk overload indications even when no sample dropouts occurred.
Fixes a crash on Command + Key Up/Down with selected main automation lane.

Join the beta program.

Cheers, will do. Anything that reads "fixes crashes" I am happy to try.

I suspect this will be the last beat before release, there have fixed about 50 bugs and made a lot of improvements since 11 was released.

[gondii]

that sounds promising. if it's this close to release, maybe I'll just wait a little bit longer..

this beta is around for a long time, it is time, me thinks, a lot has been fixed and improved.
(i have joined the beta, but i only check release notes.....)

Over the last couple of days Ableton has been updating their video series "Learn Live" for new stuff in v11.

Worth watching, IMO

That bouncy notes one's really good - I'd tried it the other day, thought "wtf?" and gave up, but the explanation of the note scale, range and quantise features make it much more usable. Most of all though is the ball lifetime thing, to me that's the difference between getting something musical and something annoying.

Just saw an ad pop up for Dispatch, a Live 10/11 mod matrix that can act as a central repository for running 16 different LFOs that can also interoperate via cv submixing.
Pretty cheap, £20, anyone tried it? What’s stopping me pulling the pin on it is not knowing what kind of effect it has on CPU, but I’m attracted to it as a solution that would let me use my old Beatstep in a template to quickly pre-map all 16 controls, or maybe just 8 with offset and amplitude on each.

Same. Saw it, looks good, haven't bought it. The demo shows not lot of CPU action, but who knows?

Also I do have an awful lot of simpler M4L devices for modulation which may achieve the same ends. But it does look good.
