I have my Push 3 on the way! Are you going to keep your Force? I have already put my Force on Reverb.

Glad that once the frustrating part of loading the packs was over that there now seems to be significantly less headaches! Do you know if it’s possible to use send fx in standalone? Also, can you print fx automation in standalone? Like if you messed w/ the feedback of the delay, could you include the resulting chaos as part of the loop/clip?

A note on arrangement, you can actually record to the timeline, you just won’t be able to see it until you transfer the live set to your computer. This was shown on loopop’s video. He also transfers a demo project that has no session clips and just an arrangement timeline onto the push 3 and it plays on the push 3 in standalone mode.

I still have a lot to learn but it’s been a lot of fun so far

For me, having a standalone MPE drum machine almost feels like it’s what Roger Linn was working on coming to fruition. Not only that but full MPE synth engines built in, sequencing capabilities etc. It’s not perfect but it feels more like the next step into the future of music instrumentation. I hear people complaining about “where are the beats?” Well, you can do beats on this but you are seriously wasting its potential and capabilities. Is it for everyone? No. Is it perfect? No...but it’s a step in the right direction.

Can you plug a guitar or Bass into the interface and let us know your thoughts on the sound quality?

I need to retest this, I forgot how to change the input from Line to Instrument and adjust the input gain last time I used a guitar so it sounded bad, but I’m 100 percent positive that was my fault cause I forgot how to get to audio settings until I read the manual after. I will definitely dive more into this, but I think it thrives with Guitar and Bass compared to dynamic mics for vocals, because it can properly supply the right amount of gain, and because there are Amp, Cabinet, Pedal, and more plugins that make electric string instruments thrive.

I can’t perfectly remember the knobs on the push 2 as far as how they felt and functioned but the ones on the 3 are great other than I keep accidentally pushing out of menus by hitting left on the primary jogwheel on the right

That’s sort of crazy no arranger mode, I think it’s geared towards live performances no full version of Ableton either 2k i don’t know.

I hope they make an arrangement view available in standalone eventually

Ok thanks for info! I'm using 2x Akai Force synced via ableton link for live.. with external hw synths already sampled in.. so far thats the best solution I figured out. It seems to me too much to pay 2,5 k for Push3 with ableton licence instead so it depends a lot on how much powerful Push3 really is, thanks again! ,)

All the videos I've seen about the Push 3 appear to involve making a four-bar pattern with minimal change in harmony, atop which variations are played. Of course, longer works might mean a video of impractical length, but...is this sort of endlessly repeated four-bar phrase all people do with the Push 3? If there are larger-scale works , I'd be very interested in hearing about them.

@DylanParisMusic

10 ай бұрын

A few of my other videos showcase tracks that I made off camera over hours rather than minutes. Your point about impractical video length is essentially the root of most track from scratch videos sounding simple. Additionally my guess is producers who are full time and deep diving and producing may not be the same folks making weekly KZread videos on top of a full time job, but that’s just speculation on my part

Hi Sim! I need to work with both devices more before I could pick one. I will say I find the Push 3 to be more compelling, and to generally just “sound better” in every way. That said, it is limited in some features compared to the Force, and it is MUCH more expensive.

you can simply move prefects started on push to your computer over wi-fi - so no stems, but the entire project will show up, instead of recording live into your daw

This may be an INCREDIBLY Stupid Question but gonna ask anyway , Non Standalone Push 3 plugged into a snarling BEAST of a Intel NUC or other Mini PC with Ableton set to Autorun, can I use this Headless? IOW No monitor or just turn monitor off and do it all on the Push 3 with the Mini PC or Mac Mini providing the Brain? I know its a Crackpot idea , I don’t really NEED a battery Powered Push but using just the Push 3 to control Ableton without needing to look at monitor or touch Mouse and Keyboard would be NICE! Don’t own a Push 3 to try this, i know my previous Gen Push can’t really do this. Thank you.

I’m not sure how you’d get it to boot into Ableton directly and not have any config issues, but assuming that was all set properly I think that would work. Would give you an audio interface, and access to third party plugins. But many of those would boot without any controls on screen. Not sure it’s worth the hassle vs just using like a MacBook and putting it to the side

I don’t think you can actually export the stems after you do this, so I’d probably just do this in controller mode so I could see the recording stuff in realtime and mess with the tracks right after, but this is still neat!

If you use standalone, do the above ie press shift and record, then trigger your scenes, once finished press save, then you access the push via WiFi on computer (the push section in Ableton when you are on the same WiFi network during standalone) you can open the project from the push tab, press save as to save on your computer then hit collect all and save afterwards and there ya go.

Thanks man! yeah it’s always tricky with free gear. I think as long as people disclose they get stuff for free it’s okay, but it does potentially change the dynamic of what you focus on. Like, even the same exact problem is gonna hit super different if you pay 2000 vs get something for free. In my opinion it doesn’t negate the free person’s opinion, it’s just an element you have to keep in mind as a viewer. For example, as someone who paid 2000 for the OP-1 Field a few months before this came out, I feel pretty bitter. Someone who got that for free probably doesn’t have that feeling. Their feelings are valid, we’re just in different positions.

No touch screen and having to manipulate the buttons a lot to access functions. No arrangment view. Honestly, I think this machine is too archaic for today's times.
