As above I don’t think it’s any coincidence that this is all starting to come through just a couple of years after Robert Henke rejoined in an active role.
Another slightly older interview to pass the time - some fun stuff about user feature requests in here:
A complete iPad app would be amazing. But it would be Ableton Touch
One letter too much. All their products are limited to 4 characters.
Something to plug in to my phone I’m hoping for. Making more music on Note than anything at the min so something that can compliment it and maybe plug other small bits into would be ideal 
Ableton Poke?
Ableton Prod
Ableton Tast?
Does note still not have step sequencer? Kept me away from it before
They added one in the beta. Game changer if you ask me. It will take a bit of testing until It goes live.
what do the 3 horizontal boobs between the scribbles mean?
Yeh best update so far !
There will be a few choice four letter words flying around if Move turns out to be a flop. The hype will be unbearable come Oct 8 and anything short of an amazing new piece of hardware will seem like a massive let down.
Why though? I don’t see anything over the top, just some social media posts about the announcement.
I hope it is not a gyroscopic midi controller. If they release something that replaces the akai apc 40 mkii that is discontinued it would be amazing though
I wish they, meaning Ableton, would do something like an apc40 mkIII. I also hope they do a small portable m8/circuit type device (which I’m guessing Move is).
Funny how in three iterations of Push they’ve never really acknowledged the crossfader, which we had on the apc series. I guess no one at Ableton HQ really digs it? Personally, I love it for quick morphing between tracks, and sound design variations, during a “performance”.
If you don’t think a crossfader can be utilized for some really cool things, I’d like to introduce you to a little known obscure device call Octotracks, or Octotrackz, or something. Can’t remember. Ableton should google it.
We shall see.
Usually Ableton takes a long time and effort to release anything, so I personally don’t think it’s going to be that bad of a product.
Anyhow, 4-letter words will be spilled around these parts after Oct 8, no doubt.
I too am surprised how underutilized Live’s crossfader is. Even in its basic state, it opens up a lot of options!
no idea, someone said that it looks like 4:3 pads grid but dunno
In my ever-growing wishlist of Push 3 firmware update features, one is to allow the touch strip to be repurposed as a crossfader.
Ah I didn’t know Henke rejoined! Any more info?
