Seems nice. Still no news on the abysmal browser?

- Love warping in Simpler! Hopefully it'll be in Sampler for Live 10.
- Auto Filter sounds very good. It's really nice to be able to crank up the resonance and overdrive, and experiment with filter morphing. With more than 100% Q, the constant feedback when there's no sound coming through is a bit annoying, but can be solved with an envelope follower mapped to the resonance.
- The auto-colouring of tracks is nice, but I wish it didn't affect the clips - they all look the same now, and I can't choose "no colour" as default. Also, there are too many colours, and they're ugly, just like it's always been. :)

The other small changes are also quite nice, but I won't celebrate until I see layered MIDI editing.

Was there any particular reason Ableton didn't ask for the Roland filters?
The MS1, JPR and SHR are the most expensive filters in terms of CPU, and if you look at the current version of The Drop you will notice there are no fixed and low CPU / MD versions of these filters, so it wasn't a good fit for Live. It has only been over the last month that I've come up with new methods to to make fixed and low CPU / MD versions of all the filter types. This is so new that it isn't even released in The Drop yet! If there is enough support in the Ableton community then it may be possible in the future that new filter circuit models can be added, for now you'll just have to put up with 4 of the worlds best sounding analog modelled filter algorithms ;)

On 9.5 64 bit OSX Mavericks, the only synth in the new M4L Essentials that is working is the Multi. The others refuse to emit any sound. Anyone else having this problem?

That's great! Now, does anyone know what these treats are called or where they are?

Somehow I think I can do that…

Update for non Suite owners exist or it is just for Suite licence members?

have you grabbed the latest Max version (7.0.6)? i have the same setup as you and they're working fine here.

What's with you? It's all on the web site! Maybe not in the form you'd like? Now, don't get me started on pack updates.

I'm having a similar issue with the library not updating with both 9.5 and M4L 7. Previous versions of Live updated the library no problem, but this version just launches with no updates. PC with Windows 7.

Please alaborate on that. AFAIK the library only updates with core packs. Other packs have to be manually installed. Which is a PITA and should be changed.

Simpler and Auto Filter are both in Live Standard, so I'm assuming those upgrades will be there. The improved metering and extra sound content should be available in Standard as well, I would think.

If you're talking about Live Lite/Intro... there might not be much new stuff.

So now I have to update to Max 7 in order to use this. Well, I'd have to make the jump at some point. Currently enjoying a very stable Live 9.2.3 with MFL 6.1.10.

Thanks Andy.

An additional filter question, but one which is probably outside the area in which you can comment.

Was there any talk of providing the HD versions of the MS2, SMP, OS2 and PRD in a render-time mode?
Obviously the primary intention with Live is real-time low CPU resource conservation, but has there been any discussion on a dynamic mode-switching for offline renders? So we'd hear MD in realtime and then HD on a render.

oooh another update to keep me interested. Cant wait to try this out tonight. I'm a bit disappointed with Push though, its a crapshoot trying to navigate your library with Push unless you stick with stock built in stuff or spend many hours completely changing your entire library. I sold my Push due to this, Push 2 looks nice but until they make the browser much simpler to use I don't see the point in getting a Push 2.

The Link feature seems interesting, has anyone tried it out? I'm still confused on exactly what it does, can you route audio through it from IOS apps and record into Ableton over Wifi?
