Ableton Push: Integrated, Touch-Sensitive Hardware Control for Live

[RockingClub]

Everyone who wants do ditch Maschine now never REALLY used Maschine in my opinion.

I'm not ditching it at all. I was really happy with it.

I'm a starter, so I started with Maschine. After I've mastered it I can start looking for a DAW and have another learning curve. Seems to me the push may lead to results a bit faster. But hey, I committed to my maschine, and the learning curve means I have time to save for the Push...

The pads on Push are much lower resolution, have no poly aftertouch, and are significantly smaller...

With M4L the pads can have poly aftertouch. Where are you getting you're info on the midi resolution on these controllers? (Not saying you're lying, just genuinely curious.)

How is this done? midiselect -> touchout? Is it as simple as assigning notes to the channel aftertouch of individual channels?

Where are you getting you're info on the midi resolution on these controllers?

My information is from tech specs on ableton.com and correspondance with Jesse (the Push project lead at Ableton) Chris, who is also colourblind to some extent and answered some of my questions about using Push with it. Jesse, Chris, David, and others are active on the Ableton forum, which is also really excellent.

I sincerely appreciate the distinction.

Agreed. It is pretty cool. And I think it might have some advantages over Maschine for certain types of working/thinking. But I could be wrong just from that video.

At any rate, I'm not ditching my Maschine. It fills what I need it for better than Live does.

Jesse answers a lot of questions here.

Good thread! I'm very happy to see it sends standard midi. I wonder how the info is sent to the LCD.
