This thread is becoming hilarious as "The famous people who use Push" above.

Good. you should /logout and go use it to "produce" instead of trolling. Just because you dont share the same concerns that other people do, does not devalue theirs. Realize that a lot of people upgraded to Live 9 to be able to use push. Realize that it was an investment for most people, and for some of those people, $600 is a lot of money, they may have even spent months saving up for one. Being completely happy with a $600 product is not an irrational request. So If you dont have anything to contribute to the thread, gtfo. Its fine not to relate with my views, I guess its also fine being a 12 year spoiled little shit head too. So... you decide.

Some people have NO sense of humor. Not only that but we have to warn people that they may not be completely happy if they buy a Push in its present state. (Especially the guys that designed it....:)

I am holding on to my Push with subtle pinkish / bluish white pads.

In a few years, they will be collector's items, and I will be able to sell mine on E bay for double the money.

You mark my words 8)

Thanks for contacting Ableton.

Regarding the LEDs, please understand that it is difficult to maintain perfectly consistent color across 64 pads.

We conducted extensive usability testing with Push, and found that the minor variances in brightness did not detract from Push's usability.

Additionally, please note that, due to the additive nature of RGB LEDs, variances in color may appear more pronounced when the LEDs are set to white.

Please do not hesitate to contact us again with further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

Ed

What confuses me is how they're able to send perfectly calibrated units to reviewers, such as sonic lab, but not to the customers. I understance variance, but this is pretty drastic.

And here's a link to the video so that you can see that the photo is not tampered with. The perfect unit is show from above at about 3:55.

So to say that it is "impossible" to make the units have consistent LEDs is a bit of bs.

It's one thing to have your marketing photos and videos be perfect, it's pretty shady to send perfect units to reviewers with no intentions of sending the same quality of product to your customers.

I don't know if video reveals the true color variants. I have yet to see a video that looks as bad as any of the units posted.

I dunno, maybe Push would look better with unlit pads instead of white (at least in room lighting)...

I'd be happy if mine was half as good as that one. Here's mine again.

Yeah lol. Try working in step sequencer mode and figuring out velocities with these pads. Doesn't affect functionality my ass. Hahah.
