Thanks for this video Ken, man this is super exciting! I really loved the push2 for finger drumming but it needs these updates badly if you going for an ultra realistic feeling and sound. Cant wait to try this with my multisample kits!!!
In the Master Track at the very bottom, there's a Cue/Solo toggle button in Live. Is it possible to toggle/switch between the Cue and Solo button setting using the Push3 in Standalone mode? If so, How?
Hey dude grest video Soo i have tendinitis in my wrists just got a second hand push 2.pressing the pads down in sequencer mode takes allot of effort for it to engage is it any easier with pushing the pads with push 3.
Thanks for this video! Could you elaborate a bit on Maschine workflow vs Push workflow? Context: Push 3 looks really exciting, but I'm trying to discern if it will actually aid my workflow or if I'm just feeling the GAS. I currently have a Maschine mk3 and never really jived with it. I'm an Ableton user and I don't love having to drag in the audio (or MIDI) from the Maschine software into Live. However, I do like the sounds in Native Instrument software (I have Komplete 12). I also have a ROLI Seaboard Block that I barely ever use. And I feel like I could replace my Maschine mk3 and my Seaboard with this Push 3 -- but again, is that just the GAS talking?
Thanks for the video! I have a question regarding the pads : is there some physical / tactile separation between them or is it just physically one huge pad that lights up to look like several pads? Gliding between notes is cool, but I don’t like the idea of having to look down constantly while performing…
So many questions. Is there any visual representation of #s or what is happening. How heavy is the unit vs the push 2 and is this a stand alone? Or comp only?
Hey thanks for sharing! What I'm wondering is how the pads respond when you hit multiple pads with the same hand at the same time. I own a Linnstrument, Sensel Morph and ROLI blocks and those devices do not have the "old fashioned" pads but a more modern sensor system with x/y positioning, they do not like it when you hit multiple points at the exact same time. Probably because there's some sort of calculation that needs to be done. With most MPE stuff that is fine, but with percussive, short hits, it leads to them being inconsistent. So you hit 10 times in a row, same intensity, 3 pads at the same time, one hand, and then the snare pad will go from velocity 40 to velocity 100 randomly and everything in between. The situation above is the only reason I'm still stuck using the Maschine pads, which will lose sensitivity over time and need a sensor sheet replacement once in a while. Pretty tedious. If Ableton solved this with a more modern solution that would be a huge technological leap!
Can’t say I’ve had the same issues. But I’d also say that’s not the most accurate way of evaluation. I’ve not had any issues with multiple fingers triggering the pads at the same time on P3. Having been involved in a lot of pads dev over the last decade or so , I would say these are easily the most articulate and controllable pads. Maschine mk2 would probably be my previous favorite as far as finger drumming. The morph was never that great for finger drumming due to the latency (only the yellow drum pad had the proper low latency mode.) Roli blocks don’t quite do it for me at all to be honest.
appreciate your insights. two questions: 1: can you layer drums like in the MPC - is there accessibility to the drum rack? 2: is there an option to have 16 levels of tuning, like on the MPC? if not, could you kindly kick their balls to do so?! ;)
Well first, Linnstruments have more note pads. So you can more easily use a 4ths or 5ths tuning layout. And, of course, more pads mean you have more range. It looks like Ken is using octave mode. It looks like the pads on Push 3 are larger than the Linnstrument. So chord figures may be harder to form on Push. Push 3 looks quite nice. Also Linnstrument is probably easier to use an MPE controller for things other than Live such as a Hydrasynth, an iPad and other DAWs or standalone MPE-capable synths.
@@PatternMusic yeah I own a LinnStrument I’m aware of the differences between that and this new push in specs and whatnot. I’m wondering about the actual expressiveness of the pads when playing it as an instrument. Similar or more sensitive? That sort of thing. I’ll have to wait until someone compares them as a user of both.
Why are they so white and washed out. I don’t mean when it’s powered. I mean when it’s off it’s just ewww looking and it’s not as bright as the push 2 and the MPE is not worth is due to the pad not being large enough to move your finger.
I’m not sure what you are on about. You are upset because the pads are a clear white? The MPE works great for the record. Easily the best aspect about.
