As someone who's never touched a Push 2, but I've heard about the "gunky buttons". What makes them gunky? My Push2 is perfect and hasn't degraded at all in the same way that my Push MK1 has turned into a sticky mess. As Tarekith mentioned, it's the black body coating that has gone to goo.

Using Live 11 Suite (11.2.11) I've recently attempted to create my own Remote Script for Push2 User mode and can't for the life of me get it to show up under control surfaces in Preferences > Link Tempo MIDI. I tried a number of publicly available Remote Scripts and it's the same deal. I've had this...

The gunky mess is appalling and stops me from digging it out to use. I really miss PXT-Live +. The thing I really don't get is why Ableton can't update the software on Push1 to include the Convert function. I've said it before on here but I consider that to be a cynical move on Ableton's behalf to e...

You can change the time signature in the clip options. If you do this and you load a drum kit you should see the Step Sequencer Controller section of the pads update to show the 3/4 time signature (i.e. the travelling green head locator will repeat back to the first pad after 1 bar) If you want to h...

@binarysum I agree with a lot of what you said, a couple of points. Mixed mode in 8x8 grid: Why can't I have the top 8x4 grid to launch clips while the bottom 8x4 can be used for finger drumming or playing notes? you could do this with NativeKontrol's PXT-Live and is something I really miss from own...

Why you think it's time? Are there any features or functions missing? I don't see people speaking about features that are not there. We have Push 2 and Akai Force which work as Ableton Live controller natively and cover a lot of functionality. Well, one thing I miss personally is Arrangement View c...

Another thing that really bugs me about the current Push is that you can’t fine trim recorded clips(the increments are just not fine enough). That wouldn’t require an new bit of hardware though, just a change to the firmware, but my hunch is that Ableton would hold off on features like that to sell ...

Start saving your pennies for Push 3 now boys and girls.
Please have a cross fader.. better (or no) touchstrip, realtime swing, sampling straight to drumrack pads.

My Push 2 and Push 1 behave the same way.. it’s not faulty, that’s just the poor design and cheap components that are used. Push as a concept is fantastic but the component choice is highly questionable. On both models the ‘non-pad’ buttons have missed the mark, and ironically pushing them is the le...

You’re correct, it didn’t but the script could have been updated to be implemented using the shift button and one of the dedicated buttons on Push1.
If Stray was still updating his PXT scripts I bet it would have been a thing he included.

Realtime swing would be so simple for Ableton to implement on the Push 1 & 2 but my guess is that they'll wait until they have a new Push3 to force you to upgrade their hardware. Just like they did with the lack of Convert on Push1

Dear Ableton,
Please for everyone's sanity consider an alternative to the touch strip on the next iteration of the Push. The touch strip is horrible to use to the point that I never use it. I would MUCH prefer a decent fader. While I'm at it, please add in a quality cross fader.

Regards,
Panten

I totally understand, was in the same boat for years and have been using Push since the first version came out. It's a LOT of fun. The upgraded screen on Push2 and the convert button are a really great improvement but I'm in two minds about the pads as I always preferred the rubbery stickiness of pu...

Glad you're loving it, I just recently purchased an Octatrack and have it synced to Ableton Live and using Push 2 with it is heaven. Live finger drumming and capturing loops to instantly mangle on the Octatrack is a dream come true.

Thanks for the response jur, Unfortunately the fine values still aren't granular enough tbh. Ideally you would be able to go as fine as you can with Simpler (Set the level of granularity to anything you want), also the ability to Set 1.1.1 here, and crop clip etc. As it is, the sampling, clip croppi...
