Ableton Forum

Just a thought but did you check that the usb c cable you tested had a min PD rating of say 65W? I remember reading somewhere that charging via usb C required PD of 65W, so I assume the cable needs to be able to deliver the same? Yeah I did. Well, I used Apple USB C charger cable (believed to be hi...

Yeah that's a good point on resale though to be fair, I've had a Push pretty much since the first one was released a decade or so ago. I don't see myself selling it! But there were a couple of things with my Push 2 I let slide like some stiff encoders and slight uneven sensitivity in some pads that....

So Ableton have responded and told me it is not possible to use a Push 3 with usb power only. It must always be plugged into the mains. Just to chime in, my Push 3 controller is working fine powered with USB-C (M1 MacBook Pro, even if unplugged). I haven’t tried to use the power adapter yet, so can...

So Ableton have responded and told me it is not possible to use a Push 3 with usb power only. It must always be plugged into the mains.

Could any of you with controller versions let me know if that’s true please? I seemed to get the impression that most people could power with usb…

I am also currently having issues with the push 3 not powering from USB C in both C in both Controler and Standalone modes. This via a direct connection to the USB C slot on my workstations motherboard trying both the supplied cable and a third party one. The USB-C Port on the computer works fine a...

Just to chime in, my Push 3 controller is working fine powered with USB-C (M1 MacBook Pro, even if unplugged). I haven’t tried to use the power adapter yet, so can’t comment on screen brightness, but it seems fine. Could you do me a favour and try with a few other cables please? I have a M2 Pro and...

with reports of some dimming of screen/pads. Someone mentioned it not being as big a drop in brightness as you got with Push 1&2. This is very surprising. The brightness should be exactly the same no matter if the unit is powered by the power adaptor or the battery. Ah but I’m talking the contr...

Also having trouble charging from usb-c The OP mentions not being able to power by USB-C. Can you power by USB-C and just not charge? Can I also ask others who are able to power to chime in on this? Does it fully power the screen brightness? Does it charge if you have standalone? A lot of folks ove...

As I said, please report to Support
This is a bug.

I reported it last night. Figured it was either a bug or cable issue as had it confirmed elsewhere that Push 3 does work fro a single USB C cable for others.

It’s def the right port as all 3 on the M2 2022 MBPs are 3.X.

Maybe it’sa cable and/or MBP power brick I’m using? The cable Ableton supplied in the box appears to be a dud and doesn’t work at all - even with other devices.

A quick one - my Push 3 controller version arrived and it seems to me as though it will only power on with the wall art plugged in. Am I doing something daft here or does this confirm that Push 3 (controller version at least) will not run off USB C like prior Push versions? Could have sworn I had se...

I’ve got my dispatch email and tracking number through. All going well I reckon it’ll be here by Thursday or Friday.

I rarely post here - more of a lurker with fingers crossed for a Push 3 - but def felt the need to chime in with Push 2 gunk stories. Mine was fine for years (bought as soon as announced) until maybe 12 months ago where it seemed to very suddenly turn disgusting. Still some residue left that I’ll ge...

Cheers! Will give it a go later on, much appreciated.

Hello Looking for a pointer on this. Tried searching but probably not using the right terms to get lucky. What I'm trying to do is have x tracks simultaneously send their audio to a return track (lets just say return A). I presume the only way to do this is by grouping? The second part is that I wan...
