Ableton should have send one device to decksaver instead some random YouTube dude. I hate having it not covered.

Bit surprising they didn’t 
So, most people say that the pads are better than the Push 2, but what about fingerdrumming ? The Push 2 is really great for that, but are the pads of the Push 3 more squishy like most of the MPE pads controllers ?
Not squishy, feel pretty similar to Push 2 but way more responsive, the Live MPE drum kits are good too…

I think my large encoder has an issue. There’s a huge unresponsive gap towards counterclockwise. I’ve sent a ticket to ableton but it was Friday eve when I got the device so obviously there’s no reply yet.
Apart from that I do have so many software and hardware glitches as well. Like unresponsive pads , completely unresponsive device, crazy pitch slider etc. assuming (and hoping) that they’re just software errors.
Early days for sure…

Warranties are for wussies.
But yeah, “upgrade” prolly doesn’t work with that battery, unless you’re “upgrading” from no battery to a battery.
That looks pretty custom fitted so looks like you ain’t getting that thing to run for 6 hours on a larger battery. (Not without manning up and voiding that warranty 
)
I’m definitely a wussy in this regard!

My USB cable is completely dead. I think I got about 3 hours of total use out of it (using it only in the one specific direction it was working).

You’ve tried it with things ither than Push 3?
Got usb c charging working in standalone. Had to use a beefy Mac charging brick.

Okay song mode working! I ported all of the JS in my device to just pure Max and we’ve got a song mode. Will post it tonight. I’ll probably charge $10 on Gumroad but if you want to beta test it for free and send feedback, email me (name at Gmail.com).
I’ll probably add a way to export it to arrangement view, but need to make sure the core functionality is working well first.

Yeah. It’s dead as dead can be.

I ordered it on Friday so i should get my hands on one hopefully in a couple of weeks. Cant wait!
While i wait i have a couple of question for all of you guys, since i cannot get that info from youtube/internet.
I\m happy with my Maschine plus for everything but for arranging and finishing a polished song. Also if i use sampled timestretched audio - for example, 8 bars of a looped synth performance - it starts to turn my M+ glitchy and unstable, so i only use sliced audio and max one timestreched loop. The push seems to solve this 2 problems for me. I\ve used Push one and then Push 2 for 2/3 years - untill 2015- and i liked it as a studio/ composition tool but i don’t even remember very well the workflow and i want to know how good is push 3 is for live performance? Do you consider it more as a Studio tool or a live tool?
Specifically if any of you guys know the Maschine ecosystem, does the P3 has good alternatives to group macros, performance fx, locked states (aka function - no in Elektron devices)?
Also how fast the Ui is? In my M+ i can unlatch a the mute page and press mute and the sound that i want to mute, so fast that i don’t even see the pad color changing - really, that fast. This might seem like an exaggeration and being picky about Ui and general smothness of perfomance of P3, but is something that its really on top of my priorities.
When you have a finished project, how easy to you start to see decreases on the graphical and general interface performance of the p3 - i mean changing, menus, instruments, accessing all of the p3 important parts of as an instrument that are important for a live performance?
Finally, the amazing timestretching capabilities. How heavy is it on the cpu and how does it afects its performance?
I\ll be using it only standalone, record a performance and then mixed it and master it on Ableton Live.
Thanx in advance!
Is your device main jogwheel (right big one) working properly? It has a “click” on each step but mine only do clicks for like 70% of the turn, the 30% rest doesn’t and feels less clickable and harder to the touch. Not sure if is a problem with mine or just all works like that because the left-right option design thing.
Uh, that sucks a lot. I had to reload a project once, because I was not able to select one of the devices. other than that I hadn’t had any problems occurs. Big Pot is running smoothly. did you update to latest firmware?
I have the same continuous clicks on all 3 stepped encoders. those on the big one feel less “intense” because it’s raidious is bigger, it mind doesn’t skip steps (neither haptic nor in software).
Yes, that was the very first thing that I’ve done. At least after a few tries. My onboarding experience wasn’t quite smooth.
When I first run the machine it took a quite while (around 30 mins) and gave me an error saying ‘there was an error last time turning off’ and was a prompt if wanted to recover ‘untitled’. I tapped yes and it just wait idly for another 30 mins and asking the same question. After 2 tries I shut it off and turned it on back.
after that it started normally (I guess) but without any onboarding etc. The first thing that I’ve done was to update the firmware.
After update and reboot, I’ve noticed the pitch slider’s top LED was flashing irregularly. I’ve assumed it was like an old PC’s HDD flash thing. Then it flashing more rapidly and I’ve noticed that the slider picking some phantom taps on top of it. Turning it off and on fixed it - felt like more of a hardware issue though. Unfortunately I didn’t record that.
Also when loading packs/instruments there’s been lots times that the preview got stuck playing on background even after loading it into the slot.
OH, also the invoice in my package was named to someone else as well. Lmao. I was sent someone else’s unfortunate shipment.

Exactly like my cable!
Yeah, I think that “there was something wrong” error message seems to be the welcome message for everyone. besides that, my entry into the push went quite fluid. Sounds as if you might have received a buggy hardware
