Updates
Release notes for TracksBuilder. For automatic updates in the app, make sure updates are enabled. You can also subscribe your app to the public appcast at /appcast.xml.
What’s new
- Faster builds: Build time improved by ~200% thanks to packaging and pipeline changes.
- Track creation: Pre‑mapping now limited to Click/Guide only to avoid edge cases; general routing stability improved.
Known issue
- In certain Live UI states, header selection can drift right. The app verifies actions and undoes/retries as needed, but a subset of songs can still exhibit drift timing.
What’s new
- Build Sets Fast: Imports matched stems into Ableton Live’s Session View with deterministic slot placement.
- Auto‑Gen Click: Per‑song MIDI click generated from tempo/meter; installs default sample and loads Simpler automatically.
- Click/Cues Utility: Ensures lanes, groups them, and keeps them to the left of song tracks.
- Smart Grouping & Routing: Organizes tracks by stem type with consistent colorization; optional subgroups per song.
- Multi‑Song Runs: Processes full setlists with slot verification and clear progress reporting.
- Bridge Integration: Ships a Python Remote Script (OSC/UDP JSON) for reliable LOM operations and state checks.
- Apple Silicon Optimized: Tuned timings and flows for modern macOS.
- Live Compatibility: Supports Ableton Live 11 and 12.
- Updates Ready: Sparkle auto‑update support.
Known limitations (beta)
- Session View only. Builder operations target Session View and do not run in Arrangement View.
- Integrates with Ableton templates for existing key/MIDI mappings, but the builder uses its own layout (as configured in the app). Do not expect template arrangement injection.
- Subsequent builds in the same app session can fail. Recommended workaround: close and re‑open TracksBuilder before each new build.
- Build pacing is intentionally conservative for safety and consistency; overall speed will improve during beta.
These limitations are expected to be addressed during the beta period.
