---------------------
Improvements and feature changes
- Beta versions are now optimized so that performance should be the same as release versions.
- Beta versions no longer expire.
- Combination Mode is now active when multiple Akai APC40/20s are in use. This means that the topmost controller selected in your preferences will control tracks 1-8, the second controller selected will control tracks 9-16, and so on. When an APC40 and an APC20 are connected at the same time, the APC20's buttons will default to Track Selection, and its faders will default to volume.
Bugfixes
- Fixed a rare crash that could occur when deleting a Drum Rack pad.
- Fixed a crash that could occur when moving a track with an automated parameter that is also MIDI mapped.
- In very rare cases, Live would crash when running extremely loud signals through Overdrive.
- Custom Min/Max values for MIDI- or key-mapped parameters on VST plug-ins would be lost after saving and reloading the Set.
- When using clip envelopes to modulate the parameters of third-party plug-ins, the modulation range would be broken after saving and reloading the Set. (http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php? ... 78&start=0)
- Some Sets which were saved in earlier versions of Live could not be opened in recent versions.
- In certain cases, launching a warped audio clip would play the unwarped version simultaneously.
- In certain cases, clips would not blink properly when using Follow Actions with launch quantization set to None. (http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=140427)
- Dragging a sample onto the waveform of an existing clip in Session view would reset the Launch settings of the clip.
- In some cases, Gate launch mode for Session view clips would not behave correctly.
- In certain cases, conflicting fade and volume envelopes would inadvertently mute audio clips in the Arrangement.
- In certain cases, loud clicks could occur when using crossfades in the Arrangement.
- When recording into the Arrangement, clicks could occur when "Create Fades on Clip Edges" was enabled.
- In certain cases, clicks could occur when turning on the filter in Sampler/Simpler while holding a note.
- The faders on the Mackie Control would not behave correctly when volume is automated in Live.
- In certain cases, when recording a clip in Session View, the APC40 would not flash red to reflect the state of the clip. (http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=133154)
- Fixed a bug that would cause automation to always be overridden when using Ultra Analog. This would result in the Back to Arrangement button becoming active.
- In some cases, the dialog box that should show trial options when starting Live without an authorization would be empty instead.
- In certain cases, a dialog about temporary files would be shown even though there were no temporary files.
- On OS X, missing media files without a file extension could not be replaced.
- Live now ignores invalid MIDI data (for example, MIDI CC values that don't exist.)
- Various other stability improvements
