Re: THIS FORUM’S FUTURE: what do you want to see? 🔥

After weeks of not being able to reach this forum it finally comes up. I really get the feeling the powers that be want to phase this forum out. I’m certainly loosing interest. I wrote support about it and they asked for a screen shot. I said to myself…that’s stupid. What kind of screen shot is ...

Btw, if it's not clear that this isn't just user error/stupidity on my part, look how complicated it is just to change the names of the push collections!!

Re: Is it possible to lock midi mappings to a specific device?

Two options I know of. Melbourne instruments “roto-control” has that as a feature with plugin mode. Also “control surface studio” from remotify lets you create user remote scripts that lets you do that.
Both of these work on push in controller mode but not stand alone.

Re: Drift midi mapping

You may want to try “control surface studio” from remotify. You can try the trial to see if it gives you access to the params you want. FIY.. uses user remote scripts so until Ableton adds that to push SA it’s no good there. Otherwise, it’s pretty powerful stuff.

Re: behringer edge no sync

I have this same audio interface. In debugging this, you may want to try sending clock cv thru the audio outputs to see if there is a timing difference. The outputs are designed to handle cv.

FIY…I use a Beat Buddy/Midi Maestro often to start things off. It does not have usb. I use a “CME U6MIDI ...

Re: PUSH 3, Bugs and features wishlist

USER REMOTE SCRIPTS...Mentioned before but worth mentioning again.

Has anyone used "Control Surface Studio?

This is one of the more powerful software adjuncts for Ableton Live allowing users to create remote scripts that include listeners, modifiers you name it.

Push SA needs this in the worst ...

The Gibraltar shelves are used for more stuff like adat expanders and other processors. I use a motu mk5 and a Kemper player.

Drum packs not functioning with Push drum sequencer

Is anyone else having issues with this?

I load a latin perc rack and the sequencer does not allow selection of pads other than the bottom left.

This happens for digicussion 1&2, drum machines, latin percussion and a few others.

Session drum club and the recently updated packs look ok.

COLLECTIONS

There are good reasons why some don’t want collections to sync between push SA and Live, however, a lot of people really want this feature (including myself.) Collections are an important feature and should be expanded. It’s great that we can rename them but there should be more control ...

Re: Push 3 - Pad sensitivity uneven across

If you can’t resolve the issue consider a return. I had this problem with my push 2. I returned it to Ableton for a fee and was given a refurbished unit that was like new. I don’t remember the cost but at the time I thought it was a great deal.

Re: Edit MIDI mappings in Push 3S

First make sure you are using best practices when moving files from live to push and back. Create the project folder outside the live folder like maybe your desktop. Collect all and save. Always move and replace the whole project folder.
I was having occasional issues until I started always moving ...

I’m using a few max for live plugins in push SA that I really like and they feel like native.

Re: A growing list of VST3 problems in Ableton: Extreme Sluggishness and GUI Freezing. It's time to fix it.

I will testify…Korg gadgets are awesome.
But…I probably sound like a jerk…don’t use plugins!
I was plugin man… UA and everything else.
I’m so much happier now because I never have issues. I never use plugins.
I do however use max plugins.

Re: PUSH3: Drum/Note View on one track while Controlling another

If you decide on the roto-control you will not be disappointed …I guarantee it.

In midi mode map anywhere and anything in Ableton and regardless of where your focus is on push you can control anything anywhere. Even external synths connected to push.

You will need to make your mappings on your ...
