It’s got limits, like any device. A high spec laptop outperforms a low spec one just the same way. There are workarounds. Some people maintain two versions of their templates. One for standalone, one for desktop.

It’s workable but whether you want to do that work is your rightful preference.

I ...

No laptop is one less thing to take to a gig. I've been gigging with mine recently and I'm glad I didn't have to take a laptop as well.

Have you imagined any particular features?

My guess would be no they don't plan to. I think Push and Move will always be a subset of Live.

push 2 was designed by ableton if i remember correct.

Sorry yup I more meant manufacturing. Akai built Push 1. I thought it was also Push 2 but I may be wrong.

Along with the expressive chords and auto filter updates -- dare I say it feels like ableton might be listening and giving us more push some decent baseline performative features. Push might find a spot back on the desk if we keep it going!


Yeah it’s a great update.

Who knows what goes on ...

It's a big one (cue Sid James laughter).

Ooh Matron!

There's more too

Do audio interfaces in general with ADAT I/O work with Push, or do they specifically have to be ADAT expanders?

My Focusrite Scarlett Octopre just plugs in, for example. Which is an expander, not an audio interface.

But what about something like the new SSL 18? There are similar 1U devices from ...

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 ...

my comment was a gentle joke

A good one imo

Haha thanks

Push 3 is amazing ... despite some frustrations with a few things missing, depending on your perspective

I remain commited to the platform and positive about its future!

Surely it's an ongoing project - that's why they made it upgradeable.

Live itself is on version 12 now. It's over 22 years old. Did you ask the same thing when you began using Live?


There are some who, on its release, felt it was incomplete relative to what they considered reasonable ...

Do they discuss when they’re likely to finish it?

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.


They’ve said bits here and there but it’s not well organised.

Last year in an interview with Sonicstate’s Nick Batt some ...

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 ...

Push SA users: more features please, particularly the obvious omissions

Ableton: … Move

There has been a steady trickle of new features and bug fixes but the pace is glacial.
