1.5.0
Pre-release
Use 1.5.1 💯 <---- for installer
Hello all!
Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm still actively working on LES+, but these days I tend to prioritize making music first, so I apologize for any long-standing issues that haven't been addressed yet.
I'm planning to tackle several of those in the upcoming 1.5.1 patch. For now, though, I'm happy to finally present LES+ 1.5.0! (:
Configurable Input Send Delay
You can now configure both the Input Send Delay and Auto-Add Delay directly from the menu.
This can be useful if a plugin occasionally fails to add correctly. In most cases, 100–150 ms seems to be the sweet spot. On some versions of Live, particularly under heavier system load, you may need to increase this value further.
Unfortunately, there isn't much LES+ can do to eliminate the delay entirely until Ableton improves the reliability of Live's browser behavior.
Smart Undo / Redo
I've also added a new Smart Undo / Redo feature.
Some plugins, most notably ShaperBox 3, provide their own internal undo/redo system but don't expose native keyboard shortcuts for it. This means that using Ableton's standard undo command can affect Live's undo history instead, potentially undoing the insertion of the entire plugin rather than your most recent edit.
I found this sufficiently annoying that I decided to fix it. :)
Smart Undo first identifies the currently focused window, then applies a plugin-specific set of rules to locate and trigger the appropriate internal Undo or Redo control.
Currently, ShaperBox 3 is the only supported plugin. If there's interest in support for additional plugins, feel free to submit a feature request. Please don't submit requests for plugins where the native Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y shortcuts already work correctly.
Default shortcuts:
Ctrl+Shift+Z→ Smart UndoCtrl+Shift+Y→ Smart Redo
As a consequence, Ctrl+Y is now reserved for Smart Redo rather than Ableton's default binding. Sorry. :(
You should be able to just run the inno installer provided below, and it will setup the new version of the script.
Save your MenuConfig from your documents/lesplus folder first! Just in case.
