Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

I just did an A/B comparison with Push1 in 9.6.2 against Push2 in 9.7.4 beta. There is still a difference. The Push2 response in the beta version has definitely improved some. Push 2 still does not respond to a super light touch. And its slightly more difficult to sustain multiple notes without dro...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

The thing is, if there is no one answering who is involved, how can we know. At the Moment, while still a great piece of gear it´s not usable for me as midi keyboard replacement because of the strange response. For 700 bucks it would be quite nice, if at least someone would tell if this could and w...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

well yeah if you're playing staccato notes you don't have the issue just like you wouldn't have the issue if you didn't play any notes, that doesn't negate the fact that it should be easy to understand if your finger is being held down on a pad and notes are spiking... is a problem, regardless of t...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

I think fishmonkey is highlighting the most important things for me here, which are - the response is inconsistent and therefore it is not reliable as an instrument; it seems to be dependent on technique, and those playing in a staccato/percussive manner won't experience it; what stands out the most...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

Not panicking, just not pleased that this has been an issue for quite some time without much mention from developers. I appreciate the suggestion but I've tried it on numerous packs/plugins with no difference. You can see my videos in the original post on this thread, and nothing has changed since. ...

Help with simple task of copying drum pad notes

Is it possible to copy all of the steps from one pad, and paste them into steps of a different pad using Push? I know how to duplicate the sound of one pad into another pad, but I just want to xfer the midi steps from one sound to a different sound. I looked in the manual but couldn't find

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

I hate to say it, but I don't think its the break in period. The Push 1 you see in those videos was purchased new only a couple of weeks before the Push 2 was announced, so I was able to compare them both in mint condition. If anybody can confirm the technique in takerith's video though, that would ...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

So I think I've narrowed down what playing technique causes the delay to happen. I can pretty much make it happen everytime. It's actually the exact same technique that causes the velocity spikes. It's related to the "squeeze" response that I've talked about before and is kinda hard to ex...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

I'd recommend trying to find patterns in what causes it and contacting support. Hopefully that will help them solve it. The delay one is a little more unpredictable and I haven't yet found a repeatable pattern to the behaviour. It has something to do with legato playing as far as I can tell. But it...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

@jpacker555 I don't think there's an issue with your Push in particular. And I certainly hope there isn't with all of them. Certainly doubt it. I do however know they are at least aware of both issues and are working on an least the velocity issue. Hopefully these discusgsions push that up the prio...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

Thank you for the replies - Obtuse - perhaps mine is part of that problem, though I'm not sure as its happening when I try to play a bit faster Buler - I'm not sure if that is the issue, since I have tried the Push 2 vs Push 1 at the same time and the issue is the same. I have posted a video showing...

Re: Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

yea it happens when its just the Push 2 plugged in, also tried them both on a different computer ( 1-mid 2011 MacBook Air Core i5, late 2014 Core i5 mac mini) with the same results. Hoping its just defective

Anyone else find the Push 2 unplayable?

I am comparing my Push1 and Push2 side by side, and the Push1 pads are significantly more sensitive and consistent. The Push 2 pads are sometimes unresponsive, or have a significant delay. Has anyone else had similar issues? I really wanted to like the Push 2, and am confused after reading such grea...
