not sure if it was you in the other thread, but I was thinking more about this - I really think the drum pads should only be moved with the octave up/down buttons. Apart from using the touch strip for pitch, I also keep accidentally nudging it which is irritating..
I agree that Ableton should definitely let us switch the default functionality of the touch slider in both note and drum rack modes, for example pitch bend when in beat/drum rack mode, modewheel when in note mode. That said, a disadvantage of using an option to control this via either Live's preferences or holding down the User button on Push, would be that this wouldn't be a dynamic per track setting. A better, though less accessible solution might be using the M4L Push Dev Kit.
Unfortunately, v0.8 of Florian's M4L Push Dev Kit is unable at the moment to update the led indicators on the touch slider. After this is fixed, it should be possible to easily repurpose the touch slider on a per track basis. This would mean you could simply drop an M4L midi device before your a drum rack to switch the touch slider to a pitch bend.
