Product Idea: Ableton Slide

Rick Burnett · Post by **Rick Burnett** » Fri Apr 12, 2013 6:01 pm

So one of the only complains from my friends that love the APC40 is that they miss the sliders. I was thinking a really neat add on product could sit above or to the side of the Push done in the same design, but have a bank of 8 sliders and 8 knobs. If you made them right, you could even make them separate so you could put them wherever you wanted. Also, if you did A USB hub built in, then you could make it very easy. I'm sure there are a million ways to do this, but it would be a cool modular approach for the people that want those things and don't want to bring along the APC40.

Have you checked out Livid?

They have a Module kit too!

I've definitely checked out Livid, I had the Livid Ohm at one point. For me personally I am happy with what Push has, as I didn't use the sliders or knobs on my MPD32 that I owned for quite a bit. That said, I could see people liking the setup of 8 knobs laid out like in Live and how some people can't let the sliders go.

But on the Livid note, there stuff is built great. Really enjoyed using the Ohm quality wise. Programming wise at the time I wasn't happy with the method for programming it.

Not "Slide", call it "Shove."
Push and Shove

i'am about to create a custom device for that.
you might know doepfers "drehbank"
i will create a device which haves 10 columns with 6 knobs each.

with this, i can simply assign 6 send channels for each track and bind them to a common effect.

Hm, I actually have an F1, I hadn't thought about using it with the live set-up... could be pretty sweet.

Yes me too. Is taking quite a while though since first news.
