Or if it’s controlling a drum machine you get the familiar 16 pad interface x4

I’m not sure if max will be available but suspect that the built in efx and max live edition will be there(I haven’t watched all the videos - the push is super cool and can be assigned scales/modes so that the buttons play scales up and down the octave range. This is the other limitation that I understand but don’t really like. Live 11 can really tax this machine especially with plugins in the mix.

#SUNVOX PUSH DOWN PRO#

I run live on an iMac Pro with 32gb ram and the 8core Xeon standard cpu. The hardware running live is adequate but I see why they may have limited the standalone functionality. To me, that is what I would rather do on a couch than remix clips. Layer up ideas in arrangement view record everything and then go back and chop. In my opinion this mode is great for remixing and spinning up new ideas but I typically use live as I would a hardware sampler back in the day. This is the view that standalone mode allows. One is the linear arrangement view (unavailable in standalone mode) and one is the session view that is more for clip launching and attaching musical phrases to a button on the push grid. The other thing is that stand alone mode doesn’t allow both “views” in Ableton. That said maybe as a desktop device for traveling etc I could see it.

I have and have had several other stand alone devices and they have to be much smaller than the push to tempt me away from my music pc desk. It’s a squareish device that is about 14” or ~35cm wide and tall and about an inch and a half thick. This looks to be about the same dimensions as the push 2.

I don’t think i would want to use the push as a lap device while sitting on the couch. That was in 2018 and haven’t looked back.įrom my perspective I see this as a mixed bag.

I went all in on ableton after finding a push 2 second hand for cheap enough that I was willing to switch from Logic Pro. My only regret in modern music creation is now that I can afford all the fun toys and now that we have nearly limitless potential to create any sound we could never imagine, I don’t have nearly as much time as when I was a kid with an Alesis Ion and a pirated copy of Reason, so I end up creating a quarter of the music with 20x more gear :/Ībleton live enthusiast here. Add in an iConnectivity interface that can simultaneously hook up with a laptop to record everything including the resulting audio and that’s a powerful machine. On the other hand, the Linnstrument is fantastic for bringing out creative ideas, and it plays well with the many MPE instruments available for iPads. That’s probably more on me for never finishing the MPC Bible ebooks. As an engineer as well, I always have the urge to try to preserve and record my noodling with the ability to recreate it and perhaps change out synths, so the MPC works decently well as a midi and CV hub / router that can record, but I can’t say I’ve ever had tons of fun with it. I picked up an MPC X for a great deal some years ago but I find that using it feels like using a limited DAW instead of inspiring much creativity.
