I am guessing you just go ahead and buy it. Anywhere. Without needing an 'upgrade option'.
You can probably find a much better discount at a local store. They are giving a 50$ discount to people upgrading from live8 suite to l9suite+push, which would put it at 550$. Right now you can go pre-order on guitarcenter with a coupon for 510$, and presumably even lower whenever they put out a 20% off couponLye wrote:-.- I was to understand that we would get a discount.
For many of us in USA, we'll be taxed on GuitarCenter.com's orders, so it will really be $550-ish with a 15% coupon. I saw a week or so ago eastcoastmusic.com had Push on pre-order for less than $450, but I was sketched out by their crappy website, listing 2 different phone numbers, & no call-back from leaving a message. So I took advanatage of ZZsounds price-matching. B)ezelkow1 wrote:You can probably find a much better discount at a local store.

speaking of which, anyone ever deal with eastcoastmusic.com? They currently have the pre-order for 475
IIRC from watching one of the first vids, Push can run via USB power only, but the LEDs will be brighter if you use external power/mains. From my own hacking research from wanting to build my own controller, LEDs do dim over time, so I would use in a dimmed setting as much as you can, & turn up the brightness only when needed. & turn off when not in use.chapelier fou wrote:-Is it VERY bright ? (can it be used when gigging outside, under the sun ?)
(Asking before starting my own midibox controller, because i've always been unhappy with the 'official' products and their inability to be programmed (have to run a pretty messy max patch to have my 2 launchpads working as i want them to work). I always thought that musicians have their own workflow, and hardware should adapt to musicians, not the contrary.
thank you)
same, thats why I ended up doing the pricematch+discount at music123. Didnt know zzsounds also did one, however i did email eastcoastmusic and got a response a day later, so there is someone therere8 wrote:For many of us in USA, we'll be taxed on GuitarCenter.com's orders, so it will really be $550-ish with a 15% coupon.

Same question on a dedicated push stand ala maschine ? Any comment on that ?su-Y wrote:I have a couple of questions:
When will Push approximately ship? I am planning to preorder and moving to another country in the beginning of April ( I live in London currently ), and I would like to know would it be wise to order it to my current home adress.
Also, what about the cover/stand? As I understood it does not come with Push by default, so I wonder will it also be available to preorder on March 5
Thanks in advance!
Also, using the opportunity I would like to thank you for amazing communication with the community, this thread was very informative and interesting!
Okay, now I am really confusedLye wrote:
I bought Live 8 Suite in order to get the Live 9 upgrade for free, but I don't see any option to buy push that does not include live 9 price. Is there any information on this?
Me too... Interesting...
Yes but they also have to be contained in a rack and saved in the user folder in places. They will then appear in the push browser under audio effect racks/ other.wildcon wrote:Hi There,
It appears that you can load VST instruments in Push using Racks?
Can VST Plug in Effects be loaded and controlled in the effect section of Push?
Cheers
Definitely not. There's no waveform view or editing.hobz_ wrote:when you use push will you be able to see the wav file displayed on the lcd screen then use the knobs to move the warp markers or transients?? or move the markers in the drum rack?
