What will I miss if change midi keyboard controller to Push?

Post by Nevileo » Thu Sep 19, 2013 2:01 pm

Hi,

What will I miss if change midi keyboard controller to Ableton Push?
Whether Ableton Push can fully replace keyboard controller like Akai MPK49 or Alesis QX49?

Thanks

Not that much :-) I studied accordion in music school when I was a child :-) Basically I play guitar.
Can pick up a melody by ear and play it on keys.
I wanted to learn keys for music production in Ableton or Logic (i have Alesis QX49)

What is better for this goal keys or Push or it just doesn't matter?

Is it everything? I do not use a mod wheel know ) I think it can be replaced with some mini controller with mod wheel and sliders.

Well, maybe some creativity and inspiration in creating music? ))))

Both have pros and cons. For your purposes I would say go with PUSH! With little practice you'll become a much better pushist (hehe), than a keyboardist. Push is laid out very logically.

I think about it not from point of view of easiness. I wanted to find out what will be more useful for music
production.
