Live 10.1: User Wavetables, New Devices and Workflow Upgrades
Live 10.1 expands the possibilities for making and shaping sound, as well as improving key features for editing and finalizing music. The update will be free for all Live 10 owners and is now in beta.
The new features in Live 10.1 include:
User wavetables
Musicians can now extend the capabilities of Wavetable’s oscillator section by importing their own wavetables or any sample into the device.
Channel EQ
A flexible and simple EQ with curves and gain ranges suitable for a variety of audio material. The shape of the filters adapts based on how controls are set to always provide musical results.
Delay
Combines Simple Delay and Ping Pong Delay and adds feature upgrades. Ping pong behavior, as well as Jump, Fade-In and Pitch controls from those devices are all accessed from the front panel.
New automation features
Musicians get a palette of automation shapes to choose from, as well as the ability to stretch and skew automation, enter values with the numerical keypad, and easier access to clip modulation in Session View. Live now also detects curved movements inside automation and can merge multiple breakpoints into C- and S-shapes.
Improvements to zooming and scrolling
Live 10.1 makes switching between detailed views and big-picture editing faster with streamlined keyboard shortcuts, pinch zooming on compatible computers, a resizable Arrangement Overview window, and more.
Also new in Live 10.1
Track freezing with sidechains: Freezing tracks that contain sidechain routing is now possible.
Export return and master effects: Musicians now have the option to export single tracks and groups with return and master effects applied.
VST3 support: Live 10.1 now supports VST3 plug-ins.
