Bug Fixes

• Fixed system spelling of Pentatonic Minor and Blues Scales.
• Better product separation in Context Help

Improvements

• Grey overlay and “Import Clip” button for AMXD preceding the analysis window has been implemented.
• View Menu: Reorganization and better siloing of menu items for more sensible and easier navigation
• Added Context Help entries
• Removed Clip Selector, Clip Label, and certain View Menu entries pertaining to the Max for Live plugin from LM VST
• Improved consistency in Menu labeling.

Known Issues and Limitations

• Playing a few in-app tutorial help videos in a row can cause a crash.
• Liquid Music’s application icon (in the dock and in the Cmd-Tab application switcher) is titled as “LiquidRhythm.” (This is an unfortunate and challenging bug that we will eventually fix.)
• Ableton Push 2 controller is incompatible with Liquid Music.
• Activating ‘independent loop’ mode in Liquid Music can occasionally cause the playhead to disappear or disconnect from your host DAW’s playhead. (Playback works normally.)
• In ‘Rhythm Tools’ mode, the Velocity sliders in the Accent Modifiers panel occasionally do not function predictably and can cause an error to occur.
• Clicking on the “website” link in the “About” window can cause an error to occur on some versions of OSX Yosemite.
• When in audition mode on the Chords panel, and the audition mode is set to “chords,” the highest note plays but all other notes in the chord may cut off.
• Dragging and dropping a BeatForm from the Molecule Tool’s BeatForm Pallette into the Rhythm track (in ‘Harmony Tools’ mode) can cause notes to be generated at the bottom-most MIDI note (C-2).
• Some reports have been submitted about failure to use Liquid Music with the Lemur MIDI script for Liquid Rhythm.
• Liquid Music’s Max for Live plugin should not be run in the same Ableton session as Liquid Rhythm or Liquid Music VST / AU plugins.
• Apple Logic users: Liquid Music only works with Logic Pro X and up. (It loads as a MIDI FX plugin.) The AU does not currently work in GarageBand.

Known Issues and Limitations – Liquid Music: Rhythm mode VST / AU / Standalone

• User can’t click+drag on track headers to rearrange tracks.
• Loading a BeatForm into the BeatForm Circuit, and then double-clicking it, may cause an error.
• Clicking ‘Surprise Me’ in the Randomizer panel in the Molecule Tools may cause an error.
• Using a MIDI Mapping file created on a different operating system would lead to crashes. For instance, MacOSX has the ‘CMD’ key, and attempting to use that through MIDI mapping on Windows OS would cause a crash. This is specific to MIDI mapping files that has ‘Mappable Commands’ saved within them. They are not cross platform. This will be addressed in a future release.
• Liquid Rhythm Standalone may not launch for Windows 8 users. Right-click on the application and choose “Run as Administrator.”
• Option-clicking on a pattern to audition it (in the BarForm or BeatForm Maps) will not audition if the BeatWeaver is not open.
• Overdub recording mode is glitchy, and real-time MIDI recording has some lag.
• Repeatedly pressing Undo during MIDI record can cause Liquid Rhythm to crash.
• Liquid Rhythm may be unresponsive when computer goes to sleep and wakes.
• MIDI Mapping track-specific controls (such as volume, solo, mute) can be lost after quitting Liquid Rhythm and relaunching.
• Ableton Push 2 controller is incompatible with Liquid Rhythm.
• Liquid Rhythm is not AAX compatible
• Liquid Rhythm is not RTAS compatible.
