What's New in Ableton Live 9.2

1. Dropped Compatability

1.1. Windows XP and Vista, OS X 10.5 and 10.6.

2. Changes for Push

2.1. Added 64 Pad Drum Rack mode for Push. The Note button now toggles between the Drum Rack three section layout and the 64 Pad Mode.

2.2. Improved Aftertouch response and added an Aftertouch Threshold setting in the Push User Preferences

2.2.1. Press and hold "User" button to access

2.3. Added Modwheel functionality for the Push Ribbon Controller.

2.3.1. Tapping the Ribbon Controller while holding "Select" toggles between Pitch Bend and Modwheel function.

2.4. Holding "Delete" and tapping an encoder on Push resets the respective parameter to the default setting.

2.5. Holding "Shift" while turning an encoder on Push changes the respective parameter with finer resolution.

2.6. Improved buttons readability on Push. The Repeat and Metronome buttons now blink if active.

2.7. When recording using Repeat on Push, the MIDI notes would be recorded with a negative offset with respect to the grid if the option “Reduced Latency when Monitoring” was on. This caused the very first note in the Clip not to be played back at all.

2.8. Using "Shift" + "Add Effect" or "Add Track" while in Scales mode would cause the display to show the Note Layout options even after releasing the Shift button.

2.9. When selecting a Drum Rack Pad set to Multisample mode with Push, pressing “Device In” with Push would automatically select the first device in the Chain list, and it would not be possible to go back to the enclosing Instrument Rack device.
