Is the velocity thing a hardware issue? This does not happen with Push 1.

No. It's a firmware issue. That's what I mean by the "code". See previous post.

The pads on the Push 1, Push 2 and Launchpad Pro (probably some others too) are the same. The pads are only capably of measuring pressure – any other information (velocity for example) is derivative. It's why there should always be editable source code – it let's you tune your instrument. Is that t...

I'm not a super player of anything so mainly I use it for drums with some fiddly ideas for leads, guitars and pianos etc but I much prefer a keyboard. This is probably why you haven't experienced issues with Push 2 – once anything percussive is hit, the release is instantaneous anyway, so this prob...

Push 1 pads are the best. Down to personal opinion really. To me, Push 2 (when suitably tuned) has beaten them all with the MPD32 being the worst investment I made until I upgraded the pads with friggin cork inserts. Akai hardware beyond the early 2000s sux (personal opinion). True. What do you use...

I don't think a Push 3 is on the way any time soon. I'd suggest you to get a Push 1 second hand. I've had Push 1, Push 2, Linnstrument and Launchpad Pro. Push 1 pads are the best.

Can anyone else share their experience with Push 2 on Live 10, in relation to the sensitivity and playability of the pads?

I'm thinking of making the upgrade.

Any comments on the sensitivity and playability of Push 2 on Live 10?

Thanks! It was there in the options menu all along!!!!!!!!!

In the final mixdown, I have many plugins, and naturally that means latency. It's fine mixing with latency, but not recording new parts through a midi controller. Is there a way I can add a track which doesn't fit in with Live's latency compensation? I'd like to be able to play the latency-laden mix...

Another Ableton Beta released without a fix for this issue.

Epic new beta release just now: 9.6b2 Release Notes Changes for Push: Under certain circumstances the record button on Push 2 would not pulse while Arrangement Record was active. Surely this one is a test of patience, or a little prank? :) https://www.ableton.com/en/help/article/live-9-beta-release...

I just wish aftertouch could play like Push 1's did. At the moment it's so-so when playing a single note and modulating, but as soon as you start playing legato, you often find yourself back to zero aftertouch if you hit the next pad at full velocity, with no way to modulate it from there without h...

Ableton Live 9.6b1 is available. The release notes indicate that the problem has still not been addressed. :(

Finally I have decided to send the Push 2 back for a refund (they have let me use the Push 1 return label). I am open to repurchasing it when this issue is solved. So I'll keep a keen eye on this thread!

Ableton is taking it very seriously and is working on this. New firmware in beta testing; and if you want to participate you're welcome : https://www.ableton.com/en/beta/ Just tried out the latest firmware (Live 9.5.1b6), two weeks old, and nothing has changed on this front. I am looking at these v...
