12.2.1 Release Notes$$$June 19; 2025$$$$$$New Features and Improvements:$$$Added Control Surface support for Novation Launch Control XL 3.$$$$$$When using Move in Control Live Mode; the parameter mappings of Auto Filter are now consistent with Standalone Mode.

Live 12 Release Notes$$$12.2 Release Notes$$$June 11; 2025$$$New Features and Improvements:$$$Auto Filter Updates$$$$$$$$$Auto Filter has been redesigned; both in terms of the UI and sound.$$$$$$The new device layout emphasizes key parameters and features improved visualizations. Filter frequency modulation is now displayed separately for the left and right channels. Additionally; a real-time signal spectrum for the output has been added to visualize how the parameters affect the output.$$$$$$New Filter Types$$$Several new creative filter types have been added:$$$$$$The DJ filter controls both a low-pass and a high-pass filter with a single parameter; similar to certain DJ mixers. Values above zero filter out low frequencies and emphasize high frequencies; while values below zero filter out high frequencies and emphasize low frequencies.$$$$$$The Comb filter produces flanging effects; especially when modulated.$$$$$$The Vowel filter shapes the sound to resemble the human voice by emphasizing formants.$$$$$$The Morph filter now features four different slopes. Furthermore; it is now possible to morph between low-pass and high-pass filtering; with band-pass in between.$$$$$$A Resampling filter and a Notch + LP filter complete the new additions.$$$$$$Updated Filter Circuits$$$The available filter circuits have changed:$$$$$$SVF functions as a linear/clean filter; but can also introduce distortion if Drive is set above zero.$$$$$$DFM is a new filter circuit that internally feeds back more of its distortion; resulting in a broad range of tones from subtle filter sweeps to warm drive.$$$$$$MS2 uses a Sallen-Key design and soft clipping to limit resonance. It is modeled on the filters used in a famous semi-modular Japanese monosynth.$$$$$$PRD uses a ladder design and has no explicit resonance limiting. It is modeled on the filters used in a legacy dual-oscillator monosynth from the United States.$$$$$$Modulation Improvements$$$The list of available LFO shapes has been extended to include: Wander; Ramp Up; and Ramp Down.$$$$$$LFO Morph transforms and tilts the LFO shape in various ways.$$$$$$The S&H shape now has a dedicated smoothing parameter.$$$$$$LFO quantization can be applied in one of two modes:$$$$$$In Steps mode; the LFO modulation only updates at specific intervals; which are defined by the current LFO speed divided by the selected number of steps.$$$$$$In S&H mode; the LFO only updates based on the selected S&H beat time.$$$$$$In the Envelope Follower; the Envelope Attack Hold parameter ensures the envelope completes its full attack phase; even if the input signal consists only of short transients.$$$$$$The sidechain signal can be summed to mono via the Mono Sidechain option in the device title bar’s context menu.$$$$$$An EQ has been added to the sidechain section.$$$$$$Improved Signal Flow$$$A dedicated Output control allows you to compensate for increases in loudness; which is useful when using high Drive values.$$$$$$Enabling the Clip toggle applies soft clipping to ensure the output signal does not exceed 0 dB; which is especially useful when using high resonance and Drive values.$$$$$$The Dry/Wet control lets you balance the dry and processed signals.$$$$$$Automation and Modulation Keyboard Workflow$$$You can now add; edit; and delete automation breakpoints using a new keyboard workflow. Breakpoints can be selected one at a time; making it possible to move between them and make edits using the keyboard or mouse. Screen reader announcements provide feedback for each action.$$$$$$Navigation$$$Select the current breakpoint: Enter on a breakpoint$$$$$$Create and select a new breakpoint: Enter without selecting a breakpoint$$$$$$Move the insert marker along the grid: left and right arrow keys$$$$$$Jump to the previous/next breakpoint: Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) + left and right arrow keys$$$$$$Select an existing breakpoint at the insert marker: Enter$$$$$$Restore highlight of the previously moved breakpoint: Undo$$$$$$Editing Selected Breakpoints$$$Move the breakpoint in time/value: arrow keys$$$$$$Delet
