Redux video up now!

It will come in June!

Not for me. I’d rather like to see a Redux sampler video.

Super! Not trying to belittle the Ableton efforts, of course 🙏

Not trying to do anything new for now compared to Push 2. Being standalone is a biggie alone :) But knowing Ableton, they take development very seriously, so this is the start of something great, imho.

Thanks for the video 🙌 In the controller mode, does it add anything new to what you can effectively control via the device? I mean controlling external VSTs, other vendors' Max for Live devices and effects, and maybe programming interface for your device? I don't own Push 2, but I remember reading that it was very limiting to what you could do with external plugins.

Yeah I felt too that NI hasnt really gone anywhere recently. Without sounding like an Ableton salesman, I can say there's a sick amount of development going on, also on the software side, big things…but I can't or won't say a word 🤫

and it says that if you go for the non-standalone version then you can latyer upgrade it to standalone with an upgrade kit. Sick. I can't really afford this right now but looks like something I'd like to buy into later. I felt like I burned myslef with the NI ecosystem as they weren't really developingin the right direction for me (or any direction tbh). But in Ableton I have a lot more trust. So this thing doesn't end up being a useless brick later :D

Yeah I heard some Ableton heads had already pimped their unit with some parts that are even sicker than the default ones in it, hehe. It's a great unit…feels good and sturdy too!

Alright, just checked the price. It’s not cheap but it’s a very high spec computer under the hood so understandable. Also they write: “replace processor, battery and hard drive as technology improves”. So this could be a nice long term tool hopefully

Wow, now this is something. I only have the Push 1 that I don’t really use because of the so many limitations. I used to have an NI Maschine but that was PITA to finish full tunes or do proper sound design / mixing. This Push 3 could be something for me

Janne Hatula

It literally just dropped :) I’m an early tester and that is why I have an actual unit already.

I managed to somehow miss all of this, your post is literally the first time I hear about it. Still working with the first version you helped me get back in the day lol. Cheers for the post, I guess it's time to weigh the upgrade option once again
