12.4 Release Notes$$$May 5; 2026$$$$$$New Features and Improvements$$$Link Audio$$$$$$$$$With Link Audio; you can stream audio in real-time between Link peers in a shared session. To send or receive audio; make sure that both Link and Link Audio are enabled for all participants. Once enabled; all tracks with audio output can be received by Link peers.$$$$$$The names for active peers are shown in the new Link drop-down menu in the Control Bar. To receive audio; select a peer via the input type chooser on an audio track and then choose the specific source track with the input channel chooser. Make sure the audio tracks monitoring state in Live is set to In to hear the incoming audio; as well as armed to record the audio.$$$$$$A dedicated Link page has been added to Lives Settings. It contains all the previously available options related to Link; as well as the following new options for Link Audio:$$$$$$Audio — Enable this toggle to activate Link Audio. Make sure that Link is also enabled via its toggle in the Control Bar once you’re ready to start sending or receiving audio.$$$$$$Name — Use this field to specify the name that is shown to connected peers.$$$$$$Latency — Use this slider to set the input latency applied to the audio received from peers. We recommend adjusting this based on your network performance and workflow needs. The current buffered amount for each peer is shown in the Peers list and will be updated as you adjust the latency.$$$$$$Sync to Incoming Audio — Enable this toggle when monitoring incoming audio from Link Audio peers in Live<. When enabled; Lives Link session is delayed by the set latency value. Note that all other peers in the session must have Monitoring Mode set to Off.$$$$$$Peers — A list of current Link Audio peers is shown here; along with their current status and buffered amount.$$$$$$For the best streaming quality and reliability; we recommend using a wired LAN connection with Link Audio. Wi-Fi is supported; but the audio quality depends on the stability of the wireless network.$$$$$$Note that the audio buffer size affects the streaming latency. We recommend using lower buffer sizes on peers receiving audio and higher buffer sizes on peers sending audio to achieve lower streaming latency.$$$$$$Erosion$$$$$$$$$The Erosion device has been updated to feature new sound capabilities; as well as a refreshed interface.$$$$$$In the previous version of the device; there were three separate modes for applying sine- or noise-based modulation to a signal. Now; these modulation sources can be combined via the new Noise Blend control. The Stereo Width control can be used to morph from a mono to stereo modulation source; which allows the stereo width to be scaled precisely.$$$$$$In addition; the algorithmic latency in the device has been reduced to 2 ms; down from the previous ~5 ms.$$$$$$Sets created prior to 12.4 that include Erosion will load the previous version of the device; which is now named Erosion Legacy.$$$$$$Chorus-Ensemble$$$$$$$$$The Classic mode in the Chorus-Ensemble device has been refined to improve results with a wider range of source material. This mode has also been renamed to Chorus to better reflect its resulting effect.$$$$$$Chorus mode also includes two new parameters: Time and Taps. You can use the Time chooser to select a fixed delay time for the delay lines in the chorus. This makes it possible to set longer delay times; which can be useful for bass and guitar sounds. The Auto setting preserves the original behavior where the delay time is scaled dynamically per tap and with the modulation amount. The Taps parameter lets you switch between a one or two tap delay. The single tap delay results in simpler; thicker chorus textures that sound similar to the effects from classic hardware pedals.$$$$$$Note that the default Auto value for the Time parameter ensures backward compatibility with Chorus-Ensemble presets from Sets created prior to 12.4.$$$$$$Delay$$$$$$$$$The LFO section in the Delay device includes more modulation time m

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
