haven't used the Push, and I really didn't care for Ableton either (30 day trial)

Maschine on the other hand, I swear by. Maschine plus a 25 or 49 key controller is phenomenal. the pads are great, and the sampling, scene by scene arrangement.

Those two plus a DAW like Logic, Cubase or Pro-Tools and you've got yourself a pretty nice little setup.

Well the push more or less will be my... *counts* 64 key keyboard.

I was considering doing that as well. I made a thread a while back. The general consensus was that it doesn't really replace the keyboard. If you don't want to learn the keyboard, the Push is an excellent controller. I've played piano, guitar, and french horn, but I think the convenience to bounce between scales on the Push is just amazing, but I only have money for a keyboard.

Nor are their sidekicks that I have. But they are a godsend to how i like to work.. knobs, faders, etc etc Why I stick with alot of analog gear etc. Just something I enjoy I guess

I have no desire to learn keyboard. Granted, the lady in my life teaches piano, but regardless. If the Push is geared towards modern electronic producers that is the bracket I fit in.

If your cool with the way the "keys" are laid out on the Push great.

Having a background playing piano, a key control is essential for getting my melodic parts out. I find when mashing out melodic stuff on the Maschine, I still have to stop and think about what I'm doing. It's hard to undo 20 years of piano playing lol

That's totally fair enough! If I have 20 years piano I'd probably keep with my Novation Impulse 49!

However, as I have literally ZERO piano knowledge, the Push seems like a very logical move for a man like myself.

Yea, even with my years of piano experience, I'm too lazy to relearn keys an all the different scales :P Which I why I want a Push.
Plus the control over Ableton is just insane.

I just managed to pick up an SL MK2 61 key for 200 bucks though, way below market value.

The SLmkii is great, though - I love mine.
