32 Bit Automations

Hello Maxers,
A friend told me that it should be possible now in Live 11 to draw 32 bit automations within arrangement view.
Is that true?

Wha is the max amount of steps that a live.dial will throw out if you automate it between a floating range between 0. and 1.?

Thanks in advance,

Christian

a GUI element will output as much steps as it receives mouse input steps. which is not much.

controlling it from automation data is limited, too, because the time resolution is limited.

Thanks Roman,

but the question is, how many steps (bit-depth) and how accurate will ableton walk along that automation line?

this issue is kind of solved. It live.dial is capable to plot out full floating point resolution. You can proof yourself by hooking it to a print object that has floating precision set to high.

yep, it is (single) float, like VST parameters.
