I am running Ableton Live 8.0.5 on OS X 10.6.1 using a Virus TI Desktop with TIOS 3.3.0.00. I am finding that when I have patches loaded into the Virus, there are various parameters for which I am unable to view the right click menu to add or remove the parameter from the automation menu. Examples of this vary; in a production I was playing with earlier today, in synth part 1 I am unable to get a menu when I right click LFO1 Rate or LFO3 Rate, but the LFO2 Rate menu comes up when right clicked. On synth part 3, I can't get the right click menu to appear for LFO1 Rate or LFO2 Rate, but LFO3 Rate comes up fine. Most of the LFO modulation banks were affected by this problem for parts 1-4.
The ability to get the automation menu for various parameters is one big problem, but I am also plagued with a seemingly different critical issue:
I only have one parameter listed in Ableton's automated parameters list for the Virus TI plugin channel whether I am looking at the envelope view of a midi clip in Session mode or the whole channel's automation lane in Arrangement mode. This parameter is [1] Filter1 Cutoff when the plugin loads. If I right click [1] Filter1 Cutoff in the TI plugin and choose 'Remove from automation parameters', the single item in the parameter list changes to 'Unassigned' and the next parameter that I right click and choose 'Automate' will populate that spot; however, just one value is the most I ever see in this list. I am under the impression that there should automatically be many parameters in the automated parameter list on plugin load, such as the Soft Knobs, Filter Cutoff and Resonance for each part, but I can't ever get these to show up, much less am I able to add my own parameters to this list.
I greatly appreciate any insight to this issue. The Virus is unusable in its current state and I'm not crazy about the concept of rolling back to Leopard.
