Yup, yup - Benn's another good person who won't keep quiet just cos someone bungs him money.
I got a #Push3 and it comes bundled with loads of #SpitfireAudio libraries. I didn't download or install any, of course, cos I don't want my music to smell of watery poohs.

The new boy is enormous. It's also shockingly heavy with the standalone module.

For me, the more I can NOT be glued to a general purpose computer that's wearing a beard and pretending to be a music studio, the better.
I've just spent the last three hours on the Push3 and it's a huge thing to not touch a mouse or trackpad for 3 hours of my working day.
I love computers/I hate computers.

I got it today and it is the DENSEST gear I own. I don't mean operationally, I mean actual bloody weight.
fuck me, I'm gonna have foreams like fucking Popeye moving this neutronium slab around.

So... I have ordered a #Push3 and I'm kind of hopeful, kind of apprehensive.
The foregrounding of #MPE is laudable but not being able to arrange standalone seems like a huge missing chunk. I'm hoping that's a future firmware fix?
OTOH - this is the first major music production doobrie that's designed to be upgradable, not just RAM and SSD but processor too.
We need more of this. We cannot keep obsoleting music gear simply because more powerful CPUs come along.

So, let me get this straight, the #Ableton #Push3 (standalone version) is basically a Linux (I assume?) based PC stuffed into the Push housing?
I know they've been working on this for a very long time but for 2023 choosing Intel as the platform for an embedded thing feels like a very odd choice.
Pricing looks ridiculous until you look at similar-ish alternatives, I think it is not for me but it is not super unreasonably priced.

#Push3 is a pretty nice device if you’re into the #Ableton ecosystem, but doesn’t come without its drawbacks:
• no phantom power support for the audio input
• no access to arranger view (even in standalone operation) severely limits the dawless experience
• battery lasts only ~2 hours
• no VST support in standalone mode (Max is supported though, if you own Live Suite, but no custom displays)
• no SD cards, the standalone version uses an internal M.2 drive instead
• kind of expensive -
Standalone mode is realized using a custom Intel NUC Compute Element with a Core i3-1115G4 processor and 8 GB of RAM. The #Push3 costs a whopping 1900 € in that version, and that doesn’t include the complete version of Ableton Live itself (which is an additional 260 or 450 €).
There’s also a controller-only version for 950 € which needs a computer to operate. #Ableton announced that you’ll be able to DIY-upgrade that version to standalone later this year, for 1000 € (the difference, basically).

Over seven years after releasing Push 2, the hardware controller for their Digital Audio Workstation called “Live”, #Ableton has released #Push3. Main features:
• all 64 pads are now MPE, i.e. not only pressure sensitive, but can track X & Y axis movements, too
• included audio interface (2in, 2out, balanced), up to 10in 12out via ADAT
• the 2 pedal inputs can now also be used for CV outThe biggest change though: It can now run Live internally and be used standalone. 🤯
