Now this is HUGE news! Live 11.1 is on public beta and this is coded specifically for the Apple Silicon chip the M1. Up until now we’ve been running on an emulation of the Intel chipset through Rosetta so this is really the thing that those of us who bought an M1 Mac have been waiting for.
This release also comes with a number of small improvements, including an updated Shifter device, which adds a new mode for real-time monophonic pitch shifting, as well as delay, an envelope section, an LFO and glide functionality.
Two new Max for Live utilities, Align Delay and MIDI Shaper are also added. Align Delay allows artists to compensate for lag when sending signals throughout their system. MIDI Shaper generates modulation data that can bring more expression to MIDI performances.
Additional features include improvements to comping, updates to Clip handling, and more.
Live 11.1 is now in public beta. If you own a Live 11 license, you can test Live 11.1 – join the beta program*.
