After a long wait, the 10.1 version of Ableton Live was finally released today and is available as a free auto-update if you’ve got the feature enable or to download from your user accounts. This update brings a host of new features to Live. Let’s have a look at all the new features.
So what’s new?
- Wavetable: dragging and dropping your own wavetables or samples into Wavetable’s oscillator section as well as the “Rand” modulation source to Wavetable’s MIDI tab, which generates a random value when a note starts.
- New device: Channel EQ, a simple EQ with adapting filters for musical results.
- Merged Delay: combines Simple & Ping Pong Delay and moves ping pong behaviour, Jump, Fade-In and Pitch controls from those devices to the front panel.
- Added automation features: a new palette of automation shapes, the ability to stretch and skew automation or to enter precise values with a numerical keypad as well as simplified curves when recording or with a context menu command.
- Easier access to clip modulation in Session View and modulation/automation buttons in the envelopes box in Session View clips showing in a different colour each
- Faster switching between detailed views and big-picture editing with improvements to zooming and scrolling with streamlined keyboard shortcuts, pinch zooming on compatible computers, a resizable Arrangement Overview window, and more.
- Freezing is now also available for sidechained tracks as well as the export single tracks and groups with return and master effects applied and the use of VST3 plug-ins.
There’s a bunch of new shortcuts that make working in Live a more fluid experience.
