Ableton Push 3 Pad response

Just a very brief video demonstrating the sensitivity and expression available on the Ableton Push 3 pads

I just snorted when I realized those were googly eyes. LOVE this demo!!!

Thanks for this video Ken, man this is super exciting! I really loved the push2 for finger drumming but it needs these updates badly if you going for an ultra realistic feeling and sound. Cant wait to try this with my multisample kits!!!

Nice. This may lead me back to a Ableton based production workflow. Eager to see what else they can pull from the software to the standalone.

Now we need a video that explores how it pairs with the Hydrasynth.

Your large black knobs look better than the official unit

[Collect-AI]

In the Master Track at the very bottom, there's a Cue/Solo toggle button in Live. Is it possible to toggle/switch between the Cue and Solo button setting using the Push3 in Standalone mode? If so, How?

[djembeboyzach]

Looking forward to seeing some of your videos with this and the hydrasynth together. Think they will work well together with mpe

[MatrixxSoundlab]

HOLY $H!T Now THAT's what I'd like to see in a new Maschine Jam!

[ckrug]

Thanks for this video! Could you elaborate a bit on Maschine workflow vs Push workflow?

Context:
Push 3 looks really exciting, but I'm trying to discern if it will actually aid my workflow or if I'm just feeling the GAS.

I currently have a Maschine mk3 and never really jived with it. I'm an Ableton user and I don't love having to drag in the audio (or MIDI) from the Maschine software into Live. However, I do like the sounds in Native Instrument software (I have Komplete 12).

I also have a ROLI Seaboard Block that I barely ever use. And I feel like I could replace my Maschine mk3 and my Seaboard with this Push 3 -- but again, is that just the GAS talking?

Thanks for the video! I have a question regarding the pads : is there some physical / tactile separation between them or is it just physically one huge pad that lights up to look like several pads? Gliding between notes is cool, but I don’t like the idea of having to look down constantly while performing…

[Skulptursound]

This is soooo dope, I’m still rocking my moc500, lol

[thomaswilliams]

Hey dude grest video
Soo i have tendinitis in my wrists just got a second hand push 2.pressing the pads down in sequencer mode takes allot of effort for it to engage is it any easier with pushing the pads with push 3.

[D-One]

Pretty cool! I wonder what the tech is like inside, it cant be just two traces and a grafite sheet in between the traces and rubber.

Hey thanks for sharing! 

What I'm wondering is how the pads respond when you hit multiple pads with the same hand at the same time. I own a Linnstrument, Sensel Morph and ROLI blocks and those devices do not have the "old fashioned" pads but a more modern sensor system with x/y positioning, they do not like it when you hit multiple points at the exact same time. Probably because there's some sort of calculation that needs to be done. With most MPE stuff that is fine, but with percussive, short hits, it leads to them being inconsistent. So you hit 10 times in a row, same intensity, 3 pads at the same time, one hand, and then the snare pad will go from velocity 40 to velocity 100 randomly and everything in between.

The situation above is the only reason I'm still stuck using the Maschine pads, which will lose sensitivity over time and need a sensor sheet replacement once in a while. Pretty tedious. If Ableton solved this with a more modern solution that would be a huge technological leap!

[TedBrownMedia]

So many questions. Is there any visual representation of #s or what is happening. How heavy is the unit vs the push 2 and is this a stand alone? Or comp only?

[jeanbeezy]

appreciate your insights. two questions: 1: can you layer drums like in the MPC – is there accessibility to the drum rack? 2: is there an option to have 16 levels of tuning, like on the MPC? if not, could you kindly kick their balls to do so?! ;)

[Paraclap]

It looks very good. Are the pads as good as the maschine mk3 in terms of feeling and sensitivity?

[traitortotheliving]

Wonder how it compares to LinnStrument in expressiveness 🤔

[triniticoclough]

Why are they so white and washed out. I don’t mean when it’s powered. I mean when it’s off it’s just ewww looking and it’s not as bright as the push 2 and the MPE is not worth is due to the pad not being large enough to move your finger.
