Beam for Live

1.6.1​

July 16, 2024

  • Fixed an issue where the Showsync Control Surface was not detected by Live 12.1.

1.6.0​

November 24, 2023

New features​

Addressing individual fixtures in a tag​

  • Generic: When multiple Parameter slots are set to the same modulation keyword, the values for that modulation are now distributed across the number of fixtures in a tag, allowing to address individual fixtures or groups of fixtures in a tag from within a single device, using Live's automatable/mappable parameters.
  • Plugin SDK: It is now possible to address individual fixtures or groups of fixtures in a tag when building Instrument devices. This can be done by sending a list of modulation values prepended by any modulation keyword to the [lightDevice instrumentbase] abstraction. The values in a list will be distributed across the number of fixtures in tag.

Misc. changes​

  • Minimum supported macOS version is now 10.13.
  • Beam is now distributed as a DMG file, instead of a .app directly.

Bug fixes​

  • Fixed the issue where renaming Beam.app or Beam Beta.app would result in application not opening anymore.
  • Patch Editor: Profile menus now contain all profiles even when the trial has expired.
  • Patch Editor: Assigning C-2 (MIDI note number 0) to a Tag is now possible.
  • Fixture Editor: Fixed label spelling.
  • Generic: All Parameter Controls can now be modulated in Session View MIDI clips.
  • Generic: Fixed the issue where Parameter Control 12's dropdown menu would still read "Disconnected" after a connection with Beam was established.
  • Par and LFO: Ensure all Live parameters have Update limit set to 16ms.
