Ableton Forum

Here is my experience. I agree that simple synths work best with Push 2. Complex ones like Absynth or Bazille are better controlled with a mouse. So I tried a lot of the simple ones: Synth1, Tyrell N6, NI Monark, TAL Noizemaker, Podolski, Zebralette, Triple Cheese, Repro-1. All but one suffer from t...

Otherwise control of 3rd party devices stays an unreliable hassle that is in the way of an effective workflow.

It's a massive disappointment to me that we have to try and use third party tools to do what should be built into Live. It's 2016 for god's sake not 1980. Live should include a tool that does the following: 1. Allows the user to select a VST. 2. Reads all of the controls that the VST exposes - incl...

Never had that problem, I have NI monark & Synth1 with no issues, I have my NI presets racked up within NI Komplete Kontrol as well, as can browse them all easily from Push2. Interesting. Would you try the following? - load Monark - control OSC1WAVE via Push slowly over the whole range back and...

It's not clearer to me now, but I got the most important message. If not enough people complain about a bug it won't get fixed. What I don't get is that Ableton don't see this major hindrance to controlling 3rd party devices as an impediment to selling more units. Look at ebay, it's flooded. Or are ...

They asked you? Could you clarify, please? Thank you.

I think it is fair to mention a bug, that has been confirmed by Ableton support. When controlling 3rd party plugins, it can happen that, while controlling certain parameters, there is a mismatch between Push 2's screen and the plugin / it's GUI. I found NI Monark, u-he ACE, u-he Podolski and Synth 1...

In my case the bug was confirmed too by the (very friendly) support agent which, according to him, bumped its priority. However, no further details about if or when it would be resolved could be made.

Would be great if everyone that reads this can submit a bug report to tech support.

I did so.

Sounds like this might be fixed the new beta: "Fixed a bug that prevented certain units (e.g "ms") from being displayed in an Audio Unit's parameter value text." Hm, this doesn't sound like the one I was referring to. However, it shows there are are still several things not work...

I would like to discuss a certain bug mentioned a few pages ago and dig a little deeper there. I am talking about the mismatch of parameter values being displayed on Push 2 and their real value in the plug-in. An Example: Since it makes no sense to have NI Monark's Waveform types presented as values...
