It is strange that other controllers with RGB pads like Maschine MKII, Traktor F1, Livid OhmRGB...etc. do not have this issue at all. Whose decision was it to use low grade RGB LEDs on Push? Akai or Ableton? My bet is on Akai... You bring up a great point, so what is the issue? For a $600.00 sellin...

You got it all mixed up, dawg. Here, I'll break it down for you. "purely subjective statements": The new MPC version 1.3 software has been rock solid. For the way I work, the MPC is at least 2 to 3x faster to get ideas down that are usable. Things like colored cells are nice for marketing ...

It's perfectly easy to get good quality RGB LED sets with almost no colour variation - I have plenty of devices that have multiple buttons that display colours all the same with no perceptible variations. The Push, however, looks like a patchwork quilt of colours. This is the same thinking that sto...

I will just say that I could make a list of 50 things on maschine that personally don't like and it wouldn't take me long. I will just say that I was just offering corrections backed up with supporting evidence and explanations to all the false assumptions and misinformation found in your post. It ...

i haven't come across something that i can do in maschine that i can't do in ableton drum racks. Here are some examples of what Live cannot do compared equivalent features in Maschine, especially in the context of Push: - sample into pads from the hardware - duplicate drum rack pads from the hardwa...

Maschine is cool if you're a finger drummer or into hip-hop A rather short-sighted misconception there... Maschine is still cool even if you're not doing hiphop or finger drumming. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svnhwf7i3m4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy6Njb9SgmU http://www.youtube....

Nice first post, JaysonJoyce. :mrgreen: The new MPC version 1.3 software has been rock solid. It used to crash every 15 minutes because of the way plugins used memory but now each plugin is buffered separately. The new MPC version 1.3 software is anything but rock solid. A quick glance at the MPC fo...

I can't imagine how an iPad can seriously be compared to this thing. If I had to trade my Push in for an iPad and some apps tomorrow I'd be pretty sad. :lol: Don't knock it until you've actually tried it. That's good advice. How much time have you clocked with a Push? I don't think I'll be getting ...

With that money you can get an ipad and a bunch of different controller apps. There is one called soundprizm, to which scale mode in push has an uncanny resemblance to... I can't imagine how an iPad can seriously be compared to this thing. If I had to trade my Push in for an iPad and some apps tomo...

I have Maschine and love it, but I am looking for more direct integration within Live. Take an audio file, right click, slice to midi on my presets, tweak the start and stop points. I hear you. I've been down that road before. Integrating Maschine within Live feels direct enough for me but I wish y...

Sorry SuburbanThug, but you lost the one-upmanship contest here the moment you resorted to posting meme generator pics. He already lost it with the stupidest comment of the day: The fact remains that I don't know any self respecting musicians other than drummers that would limit themselves to playi...

Hey fucko...its not how everyone feels. Hey fucko... You may want to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. No one said anything about "how everyone feels". Try again: You'll find that A LOT of other people feel that way about Maschine. Enough so that you can't simply dismiss it j...

Maschine would be a much easier solution to get the type of hardware-based sampling workflow you're looking for:

What differentiates Maschine from all the other software-based tools that started off as a software-only tool including Live is that Maschine really feels more like an instrument because the software and hardware were designed together from the beginning so you can control everything from the contr...
