For some reason, my (not stand-alone) Push 3 isn't showing up as a "Control Surface" in the Link/Tempo/Midi tab. However, I can select it as a controller for an instrument in a given track, but it doesn't actually work. I see the midi light in the upper right corner of the Live UI activate with the orange square when I press a pad (indicating it's picking up a midi input), but that won't arrive as midi in the track I've armed. The only way I can get the Push 3 to work correctly is to put it in "All Ins" mode, and then it works perfectly. But, that's not OK obviously. I need to be able to select a specific track to use the Push 3 on . Anyway, I'm assuming it's a bug, and filed a ticket 2 days ago, but if anyone has a workaround I'd appreciate it.
Just an FYI, I'm on the latest version of the Mac OS, I have a Push 2 working no without issues, Live is updated to 11.3.3, when I look at the dropdown for control surfaces, i see Push and Push 2 but not Push 3. I was thinking there's some kind of script that tells Live about my Push 3 that possibly didn't get run when I first connected it - but that's just conjecture. I was trying to find out my firmware info, but there is no software tab/info when I select the "settings" button (I'm assuming this is because I'm in controller mode and not stand-alone).
Push 3 Not Appearing as Control Surface
Re: Push 3 Not Appearing as Control Surface
Push3 doesn't show up in the Control Surfaces, that's not a bug, it's how it is supposed to be so don't worry about this.
Regarding the "all inst" vs "Push3" (or whatever it is called, I don't have it in front of me to check, sorry): it's the same behavior with P2 afaik. I always thought it was a bug, it's been reported etc, but it's still an issue in some cases it seems.
Hopefully Support will get back to you with more info on this.

Re: Push 3 Not Appearing as Control Surface
Oh, thats interesting! Still doesn’t solve my problem though. I can pick my push 2 and have it work currently. Do you know how long are we having to wait for support? I know they’re backed up, but it seems like they have to deal with these issues in a timely manner as I’ll need to return it if it’s defective.
Re: Push 3 Not Appearing as Control Surface
No idea on how long the current wait for support is, other than a lot longer than usual lately, sorry.
