CSS Version 2.5.6 is out! – Includes support for Ableton Live 11

Hi all, we’re really happy to announce that version 2.5.6 of Control Surface Studio is now available.

You can download it either from the login screen inside CSS or by going to your personal ‘My Downloads’ page on the website. You will find a link to this page in top menu (when logged in).

Control Surface Studio can now generate working scripts for Ableton Live 11. Open the settings menu at the top of CSS where you will see a new option called ‘Python Version’. Here you can select between 3 versions, Python 2.5, 2.7 and 3. Ableton Live 11 uses Python 3.

We’ve added better backward support for versions of Live which use Python 2.5 (before Live 9.5). This fixes issues which users were experiencing regarding broken scripts in these older versions of Live.

We also fixed an issue with the autosave functionality that was causing script and setting json files to become corrupted. This was causing scripts to disappear from CSS and in some cases the entire App layout was unresponsive.

New:

• Scripts can now be compiled for Ableton Live 11 (Python 3)
• Ability to select Python version in settings menu
• Support for multiple Python versions… 2.5 (Ableton Live < v9.5), 2.7 (Ableton Live > v9.5 and < v11) , 3.x (Ableton Live v11+)

Fixed:

• Script generation for Ableton Live 9.2.3 (Python v2.5)
• Multiple autosaves causing saved json to become malformed (scripts disappearing in App)
• layout of ‘Device Parameter Banking’ menu
