Ableton Updates Live To Version 6.0.3

Ableton has updated Live to version 6.0.3.

Enhancements:
• Context menu in zone editor has two new entries: Select all parts with same range; Reload loops from file
• Easier macro-mapping by adding the “Map to Macro ..” menu to each context menu of a device parameter within a group
• Deferred opening of sample files when loading all kind of documents
• Prohibit render/freeze/consolidate as long as there are samples decoding or deferred loading
• Several multi-sample import improvements
• Several improvements related to scene selection: Select scene on remote launch; Synchronizing the highlight and selection in more cases; Setting track highlight to return when clicking o a return Slot;
Setting track highlight to Master when navigating from slot to scene by arrow
• Performance improvement for documents with very large numbers of MIDI clips in the arranger
• Performance improvement for the loading of Live clips
• Crop samples via context menu for for selections in session and arranger

Bug Fixes:
• Unpacking .alp package files containing audio files without file extensions (like .wav, .aif, etc.) would not work properly or even crash Live
• Exported MIDI clip would also contain muted notes.
• Undo for the deletion of a track in solo mode would not work properly.
• Live would crash for “Undo delete track” during a track renaming.
• Certain presets would crash Live when they loaded with activated KEY or MIDI mapping mode.
• Under certain conditions Live could crash when deeply zoomed into a long audio file.
• Loading a rack preset containing AU or VST plug-ins which would not be available would lead to a crash.
• The check to prevent the creation of frozen files > 2 GB would not work properly.
• A problem with the first MIDI note of a MIDI recording.
• A potential crash when dragging (not loading) a Live set into Live, where the dragged Live set contains modified compressed audio files. (mp3 files for instance).
• For warp master clips that are longer than one loop iteration, the tempo for the last warp marker was incorrect.
• Changing the Arp’s ‘Gate’ parameter value could get the Arp to go out of sync.
• A track volume of -inf would not cut the audio signal.
• Certain audio wav files with instrument chunks would not load in Live.
• The MIDI scale device would always “swallow” MIDI notes of pitch 0 & 127.
• Changing the min/max value in the mapping browser would not work properly for certain parameter. (for instance Beat Repeat’s “Interval” parameter).
• Setting the Phase in several LFO driven devices (Auto Pan for instance) does not affect the audio while transport is stopped.
• Under certain conditions a playing clip would triggered because of a parameter change.
• Arranger recording of unwarped clips would not work properly.
• Setting the chance value of the MIDI Random Device to 100% would only work as 99%.
• The choice and scale values of the MIDI Random device would not be quantized properly to integer values.
• Soft-Takeover would not work for 14 bit CC and PitchBend.
• Crash when drag’n drop objects from third party VST plug-ins directly into Live. (for instance when drag a MIDI pattern from FXpansion Guru into Live).
• Setting the Arp device to “hold” mode could lead to an unpredictable behavior.
• Crash when leaving the MIDI map mode after mapping PitchBend to a clip slot.
• Under certain conditions sending MIDI Feedback caused by MIDI mapped value changes (like parameter automations for instance) could lead to a crash on multi core/processor machines.
• Scrubbing within a clip detail view via mouse move with left button pressed would not work properly when global record was enabled.
• When un-grouping a rack inside a rack, the macro mapping for the chain selector on the inner rack was cleared.
• Hot-Swap button was accidentally disabled if the effect or instrument device was disabled.
• When install upgrade packages, sample files could be accidentally de-installed.
• ‘Fire selected scene’ via MIDI Controller surface would not select the next scene.
• Based on rounding problems there could be a difference between the value of an absolute MIDI control and the value display of a Macro mapped to that control.
• The ‘Return’ key could not be used to turn off Hot-Swap mode when device chain is selected.
• Under certain conditions CompressorI could crash when the incoming audio signal has a very high level.
• Loop length modulation for Sampler would not work properly and could caused a flashing “Red D” under certain conditions.
• Endless loop in the Beat Repeat device would not work properly for a very high tempo. (> 600 BPM).
• Sending MIDI Events from Live to a ReWire slave would not work properly for multiple tracks.
• When soloing multiple tracks using learned MIDI or key, the un-soloing could keep a single track muted.
• Under certain conditions and depending on the routing, deleting of MIDI devices could result in ‘hanging’ notes.
• Live would not recognize customized the Desktop location. (Win only).
• The ‘Arm’ LED on Mackie Control was not correctly updated when freezing a track.
• The Tascam 1082 device did not work properly with the Mackie Control controller surface script.
• When the chain selector was deselected the selection frame would draw gray corners over the chain selector.
• A sample with loop on would crop at the sample end and not at the loop end.
• Follow actions would be accidentally stopped after global record was switched off.
• Entering Global Groove via keyboard would often ends up in wrong value.
• There was a inaccuracy when a value is typed into auto filter’s cutoff frequency field.
• MIDI pre-listening would not work for clips that did not contain an instrument.
• The list of live packs in the preferences would not grow, e.g. after searching for packs on disk.
• In Live sets with many internal routings, monitored but unused audio tracks need more cpu load than in Live 5.
• Re-freeze of a clip after an unlinked envelope loop change would not work properly.
• “Ctrl 1..9” keys would no longer work on French keyboards. (Win only).
• Dumping the preset to a Behringer BCR or BCF would not work properly. (Error “Err22”).
• Under certain conditions the Rubberband selection would not be visible in MIDI editor when using the piano keys for track selection.
• When closing the video window and then dragging a video clip around in the arranger, the video window would reopen.
• Sampler’s morph filter would not work properly after a sample rate change.
• When samples go online or offline some views didn’t update correctly. This could lead to problems playing clips after opening a document.
• When loading an AU factory presets into a document, any changes to the plug in after the preset load would be lost after saving and reloading the document. (Mac only).
• Avoid writing extra junk at the end of sound files, because some sound editors choke on this.
