Ableton Live 11.3.20

What's new in this version:

- Live - New features and improvements
- It is now possible to access and edit Note PB and PB Range values directly in the Simpler device. The Note PB and PB Range controls have also been added to Simpler’s parameter banks on Push 3 and 2.
- The Drift device’s non-automatable parameters are now available as properties in the Max for Live API
- A progress bar now appears when transferring files from Push 3 to Live
- Updated the bundled Max build to version 8.5.6. For the changelog
- Added Control Surface support for the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S Mk3
- Added Control Surface support for the AKAI APC64
- When loading a Note Set containing features from a version of Note that Live does not recognize, the names of those features are now included in the warning dialog

Updated the Core Library:
- Fixed SP 1200 16ths Grooves
- Changed Hybrid Reverb default routing mode to Parallel
- Restored the Hip-Hop Sub Bass preset
- Added Control Surface support for the KORG Keystage
- Previously, when loading a Set that included devices unknown to the currently used version of Live, an error message was displayed and the Set would fail to open. Now, the Set is opened without the unknown devices
- Live - Bugfixes
- Using the Dry/Wet controls in the Redux device while in Eco mode now works as expected instead of producing a phased sound
- Previously, Live might crash when loading a complex Live Set (e.g., a Set containing a large number of Drum Racks.)

Added the following changes to User Remote Scripts:
- Clarified information regarding button behavior in the UserConfiguration.txt file
- The behavior of SessionRecButton is now consistent with the behavior of MIDI mapping the Session Record button
- Fixed some rare crashes that might occur under certain circumstances
- While scrolling is in progress upon using a quick flicking gesture on a touch pad and the view under the mouse changes (e.g., by pressing [Tab] to switch between the Session and Arrangement View), the scroll gesture now stops. Previously, the scrolling behavior would continue in the next view.
- Limited the number of threads created for audio calculation on Windows to the number of threads that can be created with the highest thread priority. This may prevent audio dropouts on computers with many processor cores.
- The text "Connect Push with Live..." in Live's browser now changes color when selecting a dark theme
- Improved the display of Packs normally available for download when Live cannot connect to the internet or the authorization link to the Ableton server is lost

- Fixed a bug that caused CPU spikes when using MPE with Instrument Racks or Drum Racks containing many chains
- Live no longer crashes when deleting a take lane while scrolling with the mouse wheel
- Fixed a crash that could potentially occur when running the Convert Melody to New MIDI Track command
- Fixed an issue where the DS Clang device would get triggered by any note of the same choke group
- The MPE Control device no longer affects UI responsiveness when scrolling in the Session View
- Capture MIDI will not cause Live to crash when using MIDI hardware that creates notes of zero duration
- Previously, re-enabling automation was necessary for many AU plug-ins when reloading a Live Set. This issue is now fixed.
- Fixed an issue where adding or removing return tracks while mixer sends were not visible resulted in the mixer send view being incorrectly sized when made visible again.
- Link is now able to connect to peers it could not connect to before in some cases

Fixed the following issues that occurred when launching Live in full screen on macOS:
- A gray rectangle is no longer shown for a short time at the bottom of the screen
- The padding on the top and bottom of the window is now correct
- Fixed a crash that occurred when editing the numeric value of an automation breakpoint
- Fixed an issue that caused audio dropouts when dragging a selection of many small clips in Arrangement View
- Fixed a bug that made notes appear as if they were jumping around when the start marker or loop brace were adjusted by small amounts
- Fixed an issue in several Control Surface scripts (such as APC mini mk2) where Racks containing macros with duplicate names could not be controlled as expected
- Fixed a bug where some AU and AUv3 plug-ins show no parameters after a changed configuration was saved as default
- Fixed a bug where exporting audio containing an external audio effect or instrument would not create a resulting audio file when restarted manually or due to dropouts
- Fixed a crash that occurred when restarting exporting audio within 100ms after starting Live

- Users can now upload usage data from when Push was used in Standalone Mode to Live
- Push 3 - Bugfixes
- When loading a Set with a wavetable selected in the Wavetable device, the device's visualization is now reliably shown after loading; this fixes an issue where Push would show "No Device" under certain circumstances.
