Ableton Forum

Anyone like the idea of a keyboard style push?

I think you should change the title of the thread because it doesn't tell enough about the subject.

YES ! Looking at Push and being a keyboard player I can't help wanting an "adapted" version of Push with a keyboard. It has to be top notch quality (Komplete Kontrol) and 61-key with PB and mod "wheels" (or strips) on the left of the keys. No need for pads for me, can do with push buttons... And a ribbon controller !

Hmm, why not simply taking the keyboard of your choice (and size) and putting a Push/Launchpad/Launchcontrol whatever you want beside/in top of it?

Because it's not as convenient if you have to reach another "surface" which is "far away" from the keys. In fact, Komplete Kontrol are very near from perfect, but imagine them with the Push 2 screen and navigation buttons ? That would be perfect !

I still don't see the point here. I personally love my old Novation remote 49sl compact because of the great Fatar keyboard. I am more than happy to be free to combine the keyboard with a Launchcontrol XL and my Launchpad Pro. I can change the controller setup and use only the things I need at the moment for the current setup. I can place the controllers wherever I like it. I have also times dreaming of the one and only perfect controller, and then I see that my own needs are changing.

I'm sure ableton would sell a lot.
