I certainly hope so anyway. “Actually, the *image* I believe is showing us editing the whole patch”

I'd like to be able to afford that annual upgrade, but I can't justify it and also refuse to support a company who continually call adding a few new plugins "a new version". I love Live, but I do not agree with their definition of "version value" - It sets a bad, bad example that others most likely will follow.

Ideally, once opened, these would pop up when you select a channel, as with other plug-in interfaces. I'll try to find out.

That is, you can use Ableton widgets from the Live interface but can’t build your own UI’s as you can in Max." http://www.ableton.com/extend From the updated ableton site it looks as though M4L will support performance views (see the delay example) as well as the regular Max interface widgets, under the headings 'push the button' and 'interface friendly'. “One important thing about M4L, too: my understanding is that it won’t use Max 5’s performance interface.

I am waiting for my authorization code too :-( Looks like we will have to wait for monday, when they come back to their office. That's it quite stupid to launch a new version on friday... I don't know what they were thinking of. @vinayk I have the same problem as you… I am waiting for my authorization code too :-( Looks like we will have to wait for monday, when they come back to their office.

So many new things to play with... it's almost maddening. I don't see the upgrade price as being unreasonable at all. Totally worth it, in every way. I’ve got to say, Live 8 is pretty amazing.
