Ableton recently updated Live 9 to v9.1.7.
Improvements and feature changes:
- Added control surface support for M-Audio Oxygen 4th generation controllers.
Bug fixes:
- When choosing "All Individual Tracks" in the Export Audio/Video dialog, tracks using the External Instrument device would not be exported correctly.
- Fixed a bug which caused modulations for arrangement clips to disappear when undoing and redoing after duplicating a track.
- Improved fonts for Retina displays (Mac OS X only).
- Improved graphics for the Track Status Display and the Plug-in browser icon on Retina displays (Mac OS X only).
- Fixed a graphics problem which could occur on OS X 10.10 Yosemite when a Max for Live device was instantiated directly at application launch, e.g. by double-clicking an .als file or by having a template set containing a Max for Live device.
- Fixed a graphics problem which could occur on OS X 10.10 Yosemite when opening the "Export Audio/Video" dialogue and having the "Zoom Display" preference set to a value higher than 100%.
- The Simpler instrument could lose certain macro mappings after converting a Sampler to Simpler and then enabling Simpler's Pitch Envelope.
- Fixed the spacing of the "Hz" icon on Simpler's LFO Rate switch on Retina displays.
- Under certain conditions, the Tension instrument could produce unwanted noise bursts after loading a preset and then playing the first note.
- Live could crash when undoing and redoing after importing a clip or a track containing automation from the browser. Live would also keep crashing when recovering the Live Set from the undo file.
- Fixed a crash which could occur with the iZotope "Trash 2" VST plug-in on Windows.
- Fixed a crash which might occur on Windows while Live scans or loads certain UAD plugins.
9.1.6 Release Notes
Improvements and feature changes:
- Improved graphics for Retina displays. Note that this requires a Mac with OS X 10.7.4 "Lion" or higher.
- Added native full screen support for Mac OS X. Note that this requires 10.9 Mavericks or higher and having the option "Displays have separate Spaces" enabled in OS X' Mission Control system preferences (this is the system's default). The keyboard shortcut for toggling full-screen mode has been changed accordingly to CTRL+CMD+F, which is the operating system's default. Users with older OS X versions and Windows users are not affected by this change.
- It's now possible to export selected tracks by choosing 'Selected Tracks Only' in the 'Export Audio / Video' dialogue box. The option 'Individual Tracks' is still available as well, but has been renamed to 'All Individual Tracks'.
- Improved Max application chooser in Live's 'File Folder' preferences pane to be compatible with the folder structure of Max 7 application bundles.
- Updated info texts and manuals.
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug that could cause memory leaks and an unusually high CPU load when running Live as a ReWire slave on Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.
- Some chooser controls would clip the right side of an active entry when closed, e.g. the Auto Filter's 'Shape' chooser would cut off the rightmost line of the square or saw icon.
- Clicking on a certain area at the bottom of a track volume slider in Live's mixer would sometimes cause the slider to move to an unwanted position.
- Changing the screen resolution while running Live in full-screen mode would not reset Live's window to the correct size and still show the window's title bar. This is now fixed.
- Fixed a crash that could occur under certain conditions when loading Live sets containing a large amount of VST plug-ins and Max for Live devices.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when hovering over an automation breakpoint or segment on the first automation lane of an Arrangement track and then forcing another automation to be shown on the same lane, e.g. by tweaking a different parameter using a MIDI controller.
- Max for Live devices would not pass an "All Notes Off" message to the subsequent devices in a device chain when the Max for Live device was turned off.
- VST plug-ins that have a MIDI output would not be able to output a CC 123 MIDI message ("All Notes Off").
- Max for Live MIDI effect devices would not be correctly latency-compensated when the device was turned off and the device had an additional latency defined in its patcher inspector.
- The "Session Zoom" feature, which allows to move Live's Session ring by multiple tracks / scenes at once with certain MIDI control surfaces would stop working under certain conditions.
