Ableton Forum

So I was just playing w/ the Push, and decided to wrap it up to keep it away from the kiddies while I go for a jog...

So I unplug it from the wall... And realize... IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE PLUGGED IN! Doh! smh. I just assumed that because it came with the adapter, that I needed to plug it in.

Didn't realize it was bus powered by my MacBook Pro. Hellz Jea!

Thanks Akai & Ableton. I love you.

haha brilliant

You might also notice when powered by USB that the pads are a little more dim, but if you're not in bright sunlight it shouldn't be a problem.

I thought the same thing when I unboxed mine. I was thinking, "Hell, this sucks. Kills the whole "mobile rig" deal."

Then after watching some vids on youtube I realized no one else had their Push plugged in. I unplugged mine & fell in love all over again.

You are all doofuses! Just saying

I love that you don't have to use the power adapter but damn...I wish the usb port felt more stable. It seems weak.

usb is going away. toslink and DAT(8 channels) will prevail maybe?

You joined, to tell us this?
Must be really important to you

I didn't evn get a power supply with mine. The Australian distributor failed to include them with our units for some reason. Only just heard from the place I got my Push from that the PSU's have finally come in 8 months after I got my unit!
