Could be, could be, and that would be very disappointing.
Here is exactly what I still want from Push (quoted from Beta site suggestions):
If you like any of these, please vote for them.
VST configuration
When configuring a VST, currently it simply places each parameter in banks of 8, in the order that you've selected them. You can also drag them about to re-order.
I would like to properly organize these banks: name them, have less than 8 parameters per bank if desired. I would like to rename the parameters too. I think this is very important to have.
Many (if not most) Push users also use VSTs. Controlling them from Push would make this controller so much more attractive and useful, and above all, enjoyable.
I've recently been controlling u-he Hive with Push, in neatly organised banks, for example. It would be amazing if these banks would state "OSC1"; "OSC2", "ENV1", "LFO1" etc instead of just "Bank1", "Bank2" and so on, with relabeled parameters.
A dedicated pop-up Configure panel, like Sampler's Zone editor, would be awesome. It could have cells representing banks of 8 subcells, in which you can drag parameters into, similar to drumracks. Here you can rename them, rename the bank, and perhaps even specify ranges for parameters, though not that important.
Even though you can only have 128 parameters mapped, more than 16 banks of 8 should still be possible (like with LIve's native custom devices mappings where you can have seemingly infinite banks) for alternate bank layouts. Example, one bank will have ADSR controls alongside say, velocity, trigger etc, and another bank would also have the same ADSR controls alongside another envelope's ADSR, so you can choose which bank to use for different workflows.

Moving/copying clips on Push
Hold down the clip you want to move/copy, and a menu appears just like if you hold down "Add Track" that could have options like "copy", "move", and "load" (more on "load" below). You make your selection, and then you press the target pad, whether it be empty or occupied. The clip is copied or moved. For a block of clips it could be the same, except you hold down the first and then select the last clip in the block. Choose copy or move, then the target pad. The block of clips is copied or moved.
Alternative method
Let's say again that you want to move a whole section of clips up or down within a track. If you hold down the amber track selection button, you can then select a section of clips similar to how you select loops in PXT-Live: you select the first clip of the section, it gets highlighted, then you select the last clip. A block of clips will be highlighted or flashing, and then the encoder above the track selection button (which you're still holding down) would enable scrolling up/down of this block of clips. I prefer the other method though.
Clip loading/previewing
Maybe one can load a clip when holding down ADD TRACK. At the moment when you do, the choices are AUDIO, MIDI or RETURN. Just add another choice - CLIP. Then you’d choose CLIP, and the Push browser would open your clips directory. Now you can browse through your clips and also preview them. Upon your selection, a new track would be created housing your clip along with all its racks/instruments/devices/VSTs.
AND/OR:
You hold down an empty (or occupied!) clip pad, and once again the menu similar to the "Add Track" button being held down appears. Instead of choosing "copy" or "move", you pick "load". If you select this, the Push browser would appear for your clips and you can let go of holding down the pad. Clip prelisten is enabled as you browse through them, although this can be disabled.
SUG-1028 includes all of the above. Not sure why anyone would NOT want any of this.

Loading sets from Push
You hold down ADD TRACK. The options at the moment are:
AUDIO
MIDI
RETURN
[CLIP] ....like in another suggestion
If possible, maybe add as another option:
SET
Upon pressing you'd simply go to the browser on Push just like when browsing for devices.
Not essential, but would be nice to have.

Push note Sequencer Improvements
Would like to:
Use push arrow keys to scroll up/down, as the touch strip can be too sensitive.
Hear the notes as I enter them - it’s annoying to guess sometimes and delete/replace notes. Perhaps SELECT+pad will play the note as you enter them, or vice versa, or have the behaviour set when holding down USER.
Transpose a sequence up/down by octave amounts. You can currently simply use the Pitch MIDI effect, but would still be slightly more convenient.
Nudge/move all notes to the left/right/up/down with an encoder.
Also, lots of unused space on the screen when holding pads to choose either Note or Automate.
Maybe options like
Halve
Double
Invert all notes
Reverse
FOLD (exactly the same as in MIDI clips - seeing only the notes being used - suggested by electroandy)
SUG-1029 https://ableton.centercode.com/project/ ... 85BD433562
and finally,
having PLACES show up first on the browser.
There are other minor things that would be nice, like more drumrack channel controls, more MIDI clip controls/ routings etc.
But the rest, above, would make Push almost perfect for me. I would like to know why people would NOT want of these improvements.
although for Ubermap the editor will have to be outside Ableton. Dunno if Ableton will beat me to it though, I sort of hope so!
