No , but I will,

before I had to find out, what is causing it exactly.

But I think it happens when you play a scene in session mode with clip view or on push pads in session mode, while one or more track has played on arrangement mode before.

I have the same problem since Live 12.4

Its so annoying

looks like, they fixed it in the beta:

great Idea. and nice to see some others modding push 2.

I have modded my push too... with some knobs and spectrum analyzer feedback for pads.

does the companion app show you how to play particular chords, or does it "only" display the chord you play?

this is what the ableton support answered:

"This is a known issue that is the result of a change we implemented; we are gathering user feedback on this and adding to a report which is already filed in our backlog. Unfortunately, we are unable to give a specific date for when this might be addressed ...

I reported this issue. Please report it for youreself too. And thx for confirming this play button behavior.

If I use my push 2 with ableton live 12 (12.2.5) , the play button has a little delay (0.5 sec) to it.

When I use the legacy script (-Push2UseLegacyScript in options.txt) there is no delay anmore, but I am missing new push features.

Anyone else noticing this issue? or maybe with push 3 too ...

I ordered the push 3 controller to make music on the couch away from the pc and also to use all my vst plugins. I was hoping to use the interface with headphones.
However, the push 3 does not even work with a 5m long usb-c cable.
The Push 2 worked with a 6m USB cable, but does not have a headphone ...

I had problems with pad stuck too.

My unit was replaced 4 times until I had a unit withour issues.

adjust the loop start and end point and then crop midi clip ?

Why is it still not possible in live 11 to adjust velocity of selected note via alt+down/up ?[

I have seen they added the possibility to adjust the velocity with keyboard shortcut when you select the velocity marker, but you have to select the velocity marker with the mouse. WTF?

please ableton ...

Yes thats true...we need that Feature.

Especially if you want to Play a drum rack cell chromaticly AND keep the same choke group with other cells ...in this case, convert the cell to a new track is senseless

Tutorial

i found out a workarround.

here is the tutorial (tested with bass note and tuner effect)

you need 16 level velocity possibility for that (push, push 2... or ni maschine routed correctly in ableton to use 16 level velocity)


Change Drumrack pad/Cell from simpler to Sampler. and ...

Any news on push3?
