I’ve only very recently started using the Push 2 again after looking for unused bits of gear to sell for new bikes, switched it on to try and lost 2 days with a big creative spell then used it a lot since and it’s been very productive for me.
What I would really like from a new Push is a more lightweight model for using on my knee. The 2 really starts to dig into my legs after a while and I have to keep changing positions to maintain the blood flow in my legs. I did love the weight when it was perched on a stand upstairs, but I prefer to be more flexible now using it whenever the urge takes me on the couch in the living room.
Also, for all the buttons this has, I barely use a third of them. Different profiles for different uses would suit a wider range of users.
Ableton is at times driving me nuts with the Push though. I’ve been sampling some tunes off the laptop and it’s looping fine on the Push when I mark the start and end points, but as soon as I record it to a clip it stops looping properly.
I’ve tried warp on/off, bar count on/off, adjusting tempo, fine tuning chops, checking the grid start and end points are bang on etc, playing a different note to trigger the loop, checking loop length, s start, s loop length etc. I can’t work out the problem. A simple task on any other sampler, but not always on this it seems. Push forces you to chop files as midi rather than audio, so looks like a fixed Abe calculated warp too.
Anyone had, or know what’s causing this issue?
