Live/push updates
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 5:44 pm
I'm glad the Beta site is taking suggestions with voting by us, but zero of the updates reflect any of the suggestions since 9.1.0, some of which are way overdue. It's basically just tiny micro bug fixes and Mac support.
I'm guessing we won't see any of the suggestions in Live any time soon, as they would first appear in Beta no? Then after tested to be bug-free would we see release candidates. And surely they won't all suddenly appear in one update as it could be too buggy and difficulty to weed out the problems.
Is it hard to implement at least modwheel functionality for Push? It can't be! This is such an important basic feature for any synth. I'll trade pitchbend for modwheel any day. I know of 2 M4L devices which enable modwheel functionality: Keyboard Control, which means you operate it via an encoder (not ideal), and I believe this device totally floods the undo history, entering small increments of data as undo steps...nightmare. Keyboard Control 2 works much better, allowing you to map the touchstrip to anything, but if you save it into your racks and load another rack also containing this device, Live will crash. If anyone can point me to a simple modwheel device for Push I'd appreciate it btw. I don't use PXT's one as I'd have to enter user mode and record modwheel stuff after the fact, defeating the point of a modwheel (for me at least).
Other things off the top of my head which are overdue:
Note sequencer improvements: hearing notes as you enter them, transposing and moving notes, fold etc
Macros: Infinite macros (via + button) with renameable banks
VST configure panel: renaming of parameters + renaming of banks + blank spaces
Envelopes: snap to grid, typing values, invert, reverse, double, halve etc
Browser: customisation, option to put PLACES at the top when using Push, tagging, colourcoding etc
Clips: in-clip audio editing, multi-clip editing, etc
Push drumrack mixer control
Push clip moving,copying,loading,browsing
Banishing to the lowest depths of Hell the "Press up/down arrow to edit playing clip" message
Ableton - are you working on at least some of this stuff? An understandably cryptic answer will totally satisfy me. I just want to know if we're wasting our time suggesting stuff.
Modwheel. Please give me a modwheel. My toys are lying outside my pram.
