Ableton Push Delay ?

[Repokk]

So I'm pretty pumped about the ableton push coming out but I just noticed something on the ableton website today. Originally the push was supposed to ship around march 18th, but on the Ableton website it is saying that it will be 12-16 weeks before the push ships now. Anyone know anything?

I hope not I just preordered mine and Ill be pissed to have to wait another three months

Yup looks like its been delayed, that's annoying. I wasn't gonna buy one just yet but my mate has pre-ordered it

[balakoth]

Never understood the "ill be pissed cuz i pre ordered" argument. Youve been producing without push for years now. Did everyone really expect such a hyped product being released at the same time as a long awaited major version update for Ableton and not think theyd have some issues? ;P

[Conall]

If you preordered under the assumption that it would be sent out when first stated then i think it's totally fair to be unhappy with a possible 3 month delay.

haha yeah nothing wrong with being excited for a new toy

I had pre-ordered and my account shows 2-4 weeks...still. I wonder if they are manufacturing it in batches. I'd hate to wait 3 months too.

I pre-ordered as well, and under "my account", it still says 2-4 weeks shipping time.

More than likely they aren't delaying the initial shipment, they've simply run out and are waiting for the next manufacturing run.

I guess it's a success!

Maybe... There are a few typos on the Ableton site.
On the Push page it says 8 touch encoders. On the Tech Specs page it says 11 touch encoders.
So I can't really tell if I'm getting Push in a month... or three.
I'll just have to wait for the e-mail confirming that they shipped it.

There are lengthy threads about this issue over on the Ableton forum.
