Push Hardware Issue (Broken Touch Strip?) -solvedfornow-

Post by f4te » Thu Apr 11, 2013 9:53 pm

I'm having a problem with my recently received Push controller. Any kind of vibration on my desk, or if im playing pads, my touch sensitive strip decides to move up a whole octave. Another example:..

When I use the touch pad itself, it won't stay at a certain destination either, say I have 16 drums pads set up on C1 to D2, if i got up a whole other 16 column it will go there, but remain stuck there, I can no longer get to C1-D2 or any other 16 columns for that matter.

While Im playing an instrument, it moves up and down 1 "notch" then resets back to it's previous destination.. I tried turning it on and off, removing USB power/ AC power but alas no luck,, Any suggestions? is there a hard reset or anything i can try,, ? im hoping it isnt a hardware issue but by the looks of it it seems that way, being the touch pad moves when theres vibration on my desk....

edit: posting video soon

this video is me bumping my desk and the touch strip is going crazy.


Ok as an update basically I "massaged" i.e. pressed the touch strip with some force and it seems to straighten things out. i will update this thread if it happens again

There is a Pad threshold

if you hold the User button you'll see it on Push's screen.

see if tweaking that doesn't fix your pad sensitive issue.

there is an issue with Push saving these settings, I think it's only with Velocity curve but word is that will be fixed at on the next update.
