Ableton 9.7 issues?

  • are there any known issues with the VC plugins on Ableton 9.7 (64bit) , mac OS X 10.11.6 , Virus TI Kbd mk1
    (latest virus drivers installed)



    Ive two issues:
    a) both VST and AU
    Control key + mouse does not bring up the 'automation menu' , so you are unable to change which parameters are automatable


    b) VST distortion
    after launching Live, if you add the Virus VST (!) plugin , all patches are completely distorted. (sound like wrong sample rate or something)


    BUT, if you delete this, and load the Virus AU plugin... the sound is fine.
    if you then go back to then delete this, and load the VST again, then this is also now fine.


    SO... it looks like some kind of initialisation is not happening on the VST.


    Ive also tested the same Virus VST under Cubase 8.5 and there it works perfectly, and the control key works for the automation menu.
    so it appears to be Live 9.7 plus Virus VST.



    a side note... Ive noticed when the plugin is first created, it seems to spend alot longer doing the 'initialising' step... id say about 10-20 seconds, I'm sure this used to be pretty much instantaneous (after the initial 'download' after FW update)
    is there something I can do about this?



    thanks for your help
