Ableton updates Live to v10.0.3

Ableton has updated Live to v10.0.3.

New features and improvements

Arrangement Editing:

• When a time selection stretches across multiple tracks, ALT+CMD+F (Mac) / ALT+CTRL+F (PC) will apply the "Create Fade" / "Create Crossfade" command to all selected clips.
• Edit commands for cutting, duplicating and deleting time work regardless of the current Arrangement content selection. These commands are also available if a selection exists exclusively in an automation lane.
• Added a "Create Fades" command to the context menu of Arrangement tracks.

Automation:

• Added a "Create Fades" command to the context menu of Arrangement tracks.
• It is now possible to create and reset fades when clip content is selected in Automation Mode. The shortcut for resetting fades is "CMD+ALT+Delete" (Mac) / "CTRL+ALT+Backspace" (PC).
• Pressing CMD+Delete now deletes the envelope of the selected automation lane in the Arrangement View (or the clip envelope in the Detail View).
• Added "Clear Envelope" to the automation lane context menu and "Clear All Envelopes" to the Arrangement track header context menu.
• The horizontal movement of automation breakpoints creates horizontal gaps when dragging clips or nudging content or automation within a time selection.
• Introduced the "Snap Automation to Grid" menu option. When enabled, automation breakpoints and segments snap to the global grid. When "Snap Automation to Grid" is disabled, the grid snapping modifier works intuitively, and a light blue vertical line indicates when the dragged breakpoint snaps to the next or previous gridline or breakpoint.

Browser:

• Color labels are now stored in the same file system folder as the files they are attached to, which makes it easier to manage browser items and their assigned colors across different Live installations.

Capture:

• Improved the optimal loop detection for clips created with Capture MIDI.

Control Surfaces:

• Introduced Control Surface support for Arturia KeyLab MkII.

Interface Improvements:

• Font rendering is now more crisp at all zoom levels.
• Improved the speed at which the Live interface updates.
• Introduced the Ableton Sans Small font, which is more readable at small sizes. This change generally increases readability of all text in Live.
• On Windows, Live uses the keyboard's repeat settings to determine the scroll speed of scroll bars.
• Improve Live's performance at zoom levels other than 100%.
• On Windows, the automatic HiDPI mode for VST plug-ins is now disabled. To enable HiDPI support for HiDPI-capable plugins, users must toggle the "Auto-Scale Plugin Window" via the plug-in device's context menu.

New Devices and Device Improvements:

• On Windows 10 with HiDPI enabled, plug-ins that support DPI-awareness will be displayed at the native resolution instead of being scaled. This means that Live now officially supports HiDPI plug-ins.
• Wavetable's FM FX Mode is now less CPU-intensive.
• Increased the contrast of the spectrum in EQ Eight across all Themes.
• Improved Wavetable's performance when playing simple sounds (e.g. one or two voices).

Setup:

• Live Intro now supports the Complex and Complex Pro warp modes. Additionally, it now supports a maximum of eight audio I/O channels instead of four.
• Added the Audio I/O and Driver Error Compensation lessons to the Help View.
• Added Groove Pool info text translations.
• Added translations for the "Audio IO" lesson in the Help View, and renamed "Capture" to "Capture MIDI" in info texts and the Help View.
• Added the "Connecting MIDI Controllers" and "Control Surface Reference" lessons to the Help View. Updated the "Creating Manual MIDI Mappings" lesson.
• Added and updated translations for various Help View lessons.
• Updated built-in lessons in the Help View.

Bug-fixes

Arrangement Editing:

• Track content selection would not be restored on redo when the track was converted from audio to MIDI or vice versa during an edit operation.
• Creating fades on multiple tracks would result in one undo step per fade instead of a single undo step.
• Zooming by scrolling now works independently from the scroll direction set in the System Preferences (macOS only).
• Live no longer enforces a minimum length when resizing Arrangement clips. Additionally, fixed the following bugs which occurred when freezing a track containing muted clips:
  • The frozen track would be silent in the area of the frozen clips, even if something should have been audible there.
  • Freeze tail clips could overlap with the muted clips.
• The message "Warp Marker segment BPM limit reached" would sometimes appear in the status bar when stretching Arrangement clips, even though the limit had not been reached.
• Previously, erratic scrolling would occur when there was only one Warp Marker set after "0" beat time. Also, jittering would occur when dragging and holding a Warp Marker while the grid was disabled.
• Live could crash when dragging a clip, if that clip's Master/Slave switch was set to "Master".
• Autoscrolling will now always occur when dragging the loop marker to the right or the left outside the Arrangement.
• Parameters that have no effect on the current Warp Mode are now correctly displayed as disabled in the Clip Envelope Control chooser.
• "Reset Fade" is now applied to all fades in the current time selection. Before, it was only applied when either the fade-in end time or the fade-out start time were within the current time selection.

Automation:

• Deleting a breakpoint by clicking on it would accidentally move the breakpoint instead, when using a graphics tablet.
• The content selection of automation lanes is now restored after undo and redo operations. Until now, only the content selection of the content lane was restored.
• Breakpoints can no longer be moved into negative time.
• Fixed some issues with VST and AU plug-in parameters, particularly where unconfigured parameters were heavily adjusted within the plug-in.
• Fade handles could be edited using the mouse or keyboard, even after switching to Automation Mode, where the fade handles are not visible.

Browser:

• The Live browser would fail to see files from OneDrive folders.
• When installing factory packs the contained "Ableton Folder Info" folder would not be hidden until the next startup.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when .amxd files appeared in the Sounds category.

Capture:

• Previously, significant note overlaps were prevented when Capture MIDI detected the loop.

Control Surfaces:

• Fixed a crash that occurred when deleting a track while changing a parameter of that track via MIDI mapping.

File Handling:

• Fixed a bug where Live would incorrectly use a previous freeze sample instead of producing a new freeze sample after changing a device parameter.
• Fixed a bug which prevented AU presets from recalling parameters correctly.
• Live no longer runs out of memory when loading Live sets with large plug-in data (> 500 MB).
• Fixed a crash that might occur when trying to recover from a crash.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when closing Live while listed samples were selected in the File Manager.

Interface Improvements:

• Live could crash when displaying a modal plug-in dialog.
• Fixed a visual glitch in the Multiband Dynamics device which caused the frames of the "T," "B" and "A" buttons to appear broken.
• Previously when clicking the drop area of the Arrangement, the track highlight would either move back to where the time selection was last, or not move at all.
• When shutting down Live on Windows, Live's UI would become glitchy in some cases.
• On Windows 10 with HiDPI enabled, the menu bar now works as expected if the main and second window are on screens with differing pixel densities.
• Waveform drawing would not work properly at certain zoom levels.
• On Windows, Live no longer crashes if the file dialog is shown for a long time.
• Fixed a strange looking grey blob that appeared in the Glue device's VU meter when the display zoom was not at 100%.
• In MIDI Map Mode, the Status Bar's "mode" chooser is now wider, to accomodate the text of its options.
• Live would freeze at startup when running on monitors with refresh rates above 60 Hz.
• Previously, the text "Drop Clips or Grooves Here" appeared wrapped over two lines in the Groove Pool.
• Previously, "Show Modulation" would appear in the context menu of an Envelope Editor, if a Max for Live parameter with no modulation was selected in the Clip Envelope Control chooser.
• In German, the text of the Export and Cancel buttons no longer overflows in the Render dialog.
• In the browser, the search field now has the right text color in the Dark theme.
• In the Input/Output Channel Configuration window, labels now have the right text color in the Dark theme.
• In the Groove Pool, the drop message is no longer split onto two lines.
• In other places, text that appeared blurry in some buttons is now crisp again.
• On Windows, if you clicked a separator, the cursor would erroneously change back to a pointing cursor.
• On Windows, if using a screen with a refresh rate above 60 Hz, Live's UI would not draw smoothly and potentially lock up when loading certain plug-ins.
• Under certain circumstances, a Live Set could become corrupt due to an invalid Group Track structure.
• On Windows, Live could crash while launching in cases where it failed to position itself on the screen.
• The playhead was no longer shown in the browser's Preview Tab.
• Added further improvements to the UI performance on Windows in cases where Live runs on monitors with a high refresh rate.

Max for Live:

• Live could crash when loading a Set, if a Max for Live device was mapped to a macro control.

New Devices and Device Improvements:

• EQ Eight's noise level is now significantly reduced when filter parameters (i.e. Frequency, Gain and Q) are automated or modulated.
• Adjusting Wavetable's envelope slopes could cause the audio engine to become silent under certain conditions.
• Live could crash when duplicating a track containing a Wavetable instance.

Setup:

• Fixed a bug which affected the way invalid denominator values in time signature changes were corrected once the "Enter" key was pressed.
• Previously, tracks created in Map Mode were not mappable.
• Live would not support ASIO interfaces with a single mono input channel.
• Update various info text translations.

Changes for Push:

• It is now possible to fine-tune Wavetable oscillators on Push 1.
• Improved the performance of Push 2's display process.

Push Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug which caused the Filter 1 Envelope On/Off value to control the Filter 2 Envelope On/Off value on both Push 1 and 2.
• With some graphics cards running on Windows, the Push 2 display process might frequently run into crashes with certain GPUs.
