Is the Push 2 slide bar supposed to be this insensitive?

Post by Fizmarble » Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:18 pm

I can't tap on it to jump locations in Drum Racks, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be able to. I can barely get it to slide, it's useless as an effect modulator. It seems to respond like 20 percent of the time to sliding, sometimes I have to slide it 4 inches to move to the next 16 drum rack pads. What's your experience?

Try sliding more to the right side of the bar, away from the LEDs Does that help?

If I go too far to the right, it's the same. After trying your suggestion, it seems like it's a very narrow (2mm) area that actually works. It also stops working roughly half an inch from the top and bottom. So, even if my finger is still on the strip the pitch jumps back to center.

The touch strip will respond differently depending on what you're using for.
E.g with drum racks, it is, be designed, set to work only if you slide from the current pads position to the next/previous 16 pads area.
It might not suit every one but it ended up being like this based on observations from multiple workflows.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm gonna contact support. I'm 99% sure mine isn't working like it is supposed to nor how it did on Push 1.
