The problem: the plugin settings are stored in the Live project file. So if I later decide to use different settings (for different speakers/headphones), I'd have to manually change this in every existing Live project. Yikes!

This could be avoided if I could tell Live to NOT save the state for ...

Owning both an MPC Live and Push3 SA, I hooked up a computer keyboard to the pUsh hoping to type out track names etc. no dice.
The ability to use a computer keyboard to house keep your tracks is pretty much a no brainer. The MPC Live II here does this just fine.

Reaper has a pre-rendering system, it doesn't use less CPU but rather it spreads CPU usage over time.

Pre-rendering is only possible with sequenced or already-recorded MIDI in a linear sequencer, it doesn't work with MIDI notes played real-time or with MIDI played non-linearly in a system ...

This one needs to happen, especially now that Push 3 Standalone is a viable workhorse.

Being able to use any VST/AU in processing drum pads is something we need now.

I'm not sure what you're asking for? You think Push 3 should have unique features that Ableton on a laptop and Push in controller mode doesn't have?

I just want it to have most of the features of Live with a mouse. The latest public beta has time signatures and Follow Actions, so we're halfway ...

push 2 was designed by ableton if i remember correct. the big difference with push 3 is its standalone capability. stuff like follow scenes should have been there on day 1, but at least its here now. i really do think that ableton cares quite a lot when it comes to push. its their first real ...

Again, it's a bit obtuse for now, but Follow Actions have come to Push 3 stand alone. This includes Scene firing, so you can arrange a song at this point without the computer, plus they included time signatures for Clips, I haven't explored it enough to see if that includes Scenes as well ...

they finally did it! Follow Actions, time signatures etc.

And yes, got an email from Akai Pro saying they are going to update soon on the Force….. Never expected that!

Akai are really doing a great job of proactively listening to their customers lately. The fact they're returning time signatures to the MPC OS in the next update is in their own words ...

Oh apologies I’m thinking of a news article I read about Maschine+.

Sorry!

No worries, no one knows if the Force is depreciated or not, in any case it will be a while before it gets any updates considering the pace of the MPC3 releases etc.

Buy an Akai Force = problem solved - does it all........ :mrgreen:

I have a Force, and do not use my PC anymore with LIve 10 suite and Reason 12 on it!


It’s getting updates soon, apparently. Users had thought Akai had somewhat abandoned it.


I haven't read anything about that, what's ...

Last year in an interview with Sonicstate’s Nick Batt some Ableton bod (head of hardware maybe?) said the new Live 12 MIDI transformations and generators ARE coming to Push SA …
Just give us Follow Actions, and per Scene time signatures and tempos first FFS?
The fact they want to add in ...

Push SA is still useful to me as is because it means I don’t have to take a laptop on stage to perform a Live set. But my workflow is ‘do absolutely everything in Live’ and then transfer it to Push. I don’t really use Push SA to ‘make’ anything, only to perform.
That's the thing though, even for ...

Push hardware is so beautifully designed but software integration as intuitive as a brick
Ableton say something
Ableton do something

Kinda leaving us out in the cold here.


IMO it's a weird Catch 22 isn't it? They release the Push 3 SA over a year ago, without the ability to write an entire ...
