Ableton Push Delay ?

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 :disappointed:

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? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

5

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.

6

haha yeah nothing wrong with being excited for a new toy

7

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.

8

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.

11

My pre-order status still says 2-4 weeks, however, on the push page I see 12-16 so I am hoping that they are just sold out of the first batch and are giving 12-16 weeks for new pre-orders.

do you think other retailers will have it sooner?

13

For anyone who ordered one I’d like to know how long it took and if you really thing it’s work it. NI just released a new maschine template that makes if compatible with live 9 and you can get some great functionality out of it. So I’m just wondering if its really worth adding another pad controller when I can get the best of both worlds with maschine in stand alone mode and with maschines ableton mapping

14

I just checked my account. It now says 1-2 weeks. It used to say 2-4. Looks promising.

15

I bought Live 9 from an ableton instructor that I knew because I could save money that way.

He told me:

  1. He didn’t like push at all when he got to try it.
  2. Ableton are gonna be in deep shit because they can’t handle the demand for push. Even ableton instructors that want to demo push can’t get a hold of one. He said only 50 pushes are in existance at the moment. But just 50 seems a bit exaggerated.

Maybe, maybe not!

Well being how push is being produced by akai and not Ableton, I don’t think this is the case. Even if it’s back ordered for a bit, it’s not like akai is new to the game, they have the ability to produce push in large quantities.

18

For those who ordered from GC… did they ship yesterday?

My account in Ableton now says, “less than a week”

19

Mine didn’t ship from guitar center, the website is saying they will ship the 25th now, I hope it’s true.

I received an e-mail from Ableton. Such great news this morning. I’m just waiting for their delivery service to send me a confirmation.

Anyone else having any luck with GC?
