You can run it unauthorised for now (no save) and at least get it set up!
Some people have said they have authorised- seemed to be taking a while for me so just clicked out…

Yes you can authorize it now, I’ve done It, it works perfectly.

anyone knows what’s the authorized addon? I authorized twice by mistake because the Beta was open and got redirected there, but not sure if that’s the reason…

I just got 12 installed on OS X and so far, so good. Authorization worked quickly and went fine.

I can confirm that the tags I created within Beta 12 for myself in ā€œDevicesā€ are still there and the links to all of my plugins seem in-tact, so that work wasn’t in vein, which is nice. I kept my expectations low.

Also, someone on Reddit was kind enough to explain how to find and edit the file that holds the ā€œDeviceā€ category names.

The path in OS X is now:
Username/Music/Ableton/User Library/Ableton folder info

  • File name = UserKeywords.txt
  • It’s a simple text file with the names of new tags you’ve added to the existing default tags.

These are the new Devices Categories I’ve made and you can see the proper syntax for nesting folders:

Devices|Arpeggiator
Devices|Dub devices
Devices|Beat slicer
Devices|Modular
Devices|Sample - Organizer
Devices|Mastering
Devices|Mixing
Devices|Bus Processor
Devices|Sample - Playback
Devices|Drum machine
Devices|Color|Bit reduction
Devices|Granular
Devices|Multi FX
Devices|Sampler - Vintage
Devices|De-Essing
Devices|Drum Kit Plugin
Devices|Transient FX
Devices|Color|Lofi
Devices|Color|Tape FX
Devices|Special FX
Devices|Loop Remixer
Devices|Vocoder
Devices|Pitch
Devices|Composition
Devices|Drum AI

I will hold off installing til tomorrow then. Good to have it and avoid slow download times.

Do you know if it overwrites the beta?

Got it. :smiley:

Nope

March 5 in Berlin starts at 5pm my time, so I think I’m going to try then.

Unfortunately push SA only compatible 2 weeks later. So I still have to wait :(. Was really looking forward to playing around this week but first world problems and all that :wink:

Thank you!

I was able to download the Win version using your link. But I’m too tired to install and authorize it now.

Now let’s wait for the first complaints and bug fixes. :wink:

No public beta for Push meanwhile ?

Yeah there is, but I’m not really comfortable using that (maybe unjustifiably so). Rather wait for the official release.

That’s up to you then.
I didn’t spent so much time with Push but the beta of SA12 didn’t seem buggier than L11 !

It’s more about the exchange of projects and max4live stuff between versions
that I’m a bit worried about :wink:

Got it! Downloaded, installed, authorized and up and running.

Going to work with it a bit, then nuke my installs of 11 and 12b. I have high confidence it’s going to be fine since the beta has been very solid for me.

i’m sure more M4L updates are coming soon…

All of Novel Music’s devices are now compatible with Live 12 and take advantage of its new features, including Scale Awareness. In addition, all devices can now run on the Push 3 in both control and standalone modes! https://novelmusic.org

Wait, M4L devices can take over the pads on Push like that now?

The dream of hardware Opal gets closer…
