I hope this isn’t the last we see of these behind-the-scenes glimpses of design and engineering at Ableton. As a product designer and musician, this is absolutely fascinating stuff.
I much appreciate the efforts Ableton crew has made to create such a powerful device, which basically has no alternatives on the market right now, but you really needed to work on it for one more year or so. So many software and hardware problems with it that a lot of people won't justify the price and be able to understand how awesome it is.
I am very interested in this to go with Live Suite...but I'm scared away by all the problems people have reported. I'm waiting for consistent improvement before I think about pulling the trigger.
@@isocarboxazid Me as well. I've bought Push 3 Standalone, really liked it in the standalone mode (not so much as a controller though, just not my thing, it makes everything slower in comparison to good old mouse and keyboard) and returned it due to array of QC/design issues on my specific unit, I'm not even talking about other people stories over the intenet. So yeah I love the standalone mode, but I will wait for another year or so.
Are you serious, NO alterbatives???? Ever heard about the Akai MPC X, it was able to do this in 2017 and more, now with their latest MPC X SE, they made a push 3 look plain silly. The MPC series have alwats been standalone instruments, especially the X series. Not some flimsy small screen but a full 10.1" touch screen and complete control over onboard instruments, plugins and samples + it has always been an interface.
Great video. It's crazy that there was a working prototype in 2020. A lot of love and care (and complexity) went in to making this something we could use and I'm thankful for it.
I love this thing so much. The exact reasony why I didn't invest into Push 1 or 2 was the fact that it still needed to be near a computer to be useful. I just thought I'm quicker with mouse and a regular midi controller. But now? The game has changed. I bought the very first Push 3 that came into Czech Republic. Now it's a groovebox, idea sketcher, killer MPE controller and it turns out also a pretty awesome guitar effect unit. The optimization Ableton has done is crazy. I had some bonkers 30+ devices chains running safely at 64, some even on 32 samples of latency. That's like 2ms. Nothing. I've also played a gig with it (and planing to do some more). And the integration? The fact it remembers MIDI mapping between SA and control modes? The fact you can completlely pre-setup and pre-route your complex gig setup on a PC and then just drop it onto the standalone Live? Can't get enough of this beauty. ...and the replacable internal components are just cherry on the cake. For Ableton users, this is an endgame. A perfect piece of gear I think.
@@siddharths8008 We were blown away as well. Did not expect that. A friend came in with that nasty 30 devices long chain to essentially try to choke the Push 3 SA up. And we pretty much failed to do so. But on the other hand, it does make sense. These buffers are processed as a DPC interruptions, meaning, the processor attempts to stop whatever it's doing to prepare and hand over the audio in time. But when there's OS, Chrome browser and bunch of other apps running in the background, there's just a limited amount of power the CPU can dedicate to those DPC calls. Also there are other DPC calls from other devices. From your GPU, network card, webcams etc. They get in the way as well. (Especially GPU ones are really nasty.) By having the CPU solely for Ableton, there's essentially nothing it has to do between the audio DPC calls. (aside from graphics rendering ... and that I think is handled by the non-standalone chips anyway). So that's why it's able to run on such a low buffer sizes I think. Nevertheless, we were still stunned.
Great mini documentary! It was wonderful to hear some of the process from the engineers, see all the ways that Push has been used in the world, and finish it off with a banger. Well done! Please more of this. I need more Push inspiration to get better - I'm still so intimidated by this powerful rectangle
That’s it man! I’m with you. There is amazing hardware out there, no doubt. But we gotta take a step back and just enjoy the joy of making music and stop chasing new stuff!
@@emanuelbsilva88 Software is a but of a pain to be honest, I'm currently transferring all My plugins to a new laptop, and just doing the Free Native instruments ones took 3 hours, and made Reason 12 crash 4 times already, not good. Reason never crash for Me so to have it happen 4 times in a row is a Alarm bell, but perhaps that happend because I didn't restart the laptop after installing the plugins.
this review makes me think of Push3 as the apotheosis of Roger Linn''s vision for the the MPC...in the user manual of the MPC2000 he has a written statement where he describes the intention for his midi sampler player for the user to finally realize its power as a bona fide musical instrument. And the reviewer described this exactly at the end of the video. @05:50 which may seem fundamental today in the 2020s but in 1990/s when everyone was contesting the authenticity and musicality of samples and electronic music in general; that's a radical idea to put forth and spawn an industry of products in pursuit of that vision!
Hey there people from Ableton, let me tell you my story. I’ve just recently switched from maschine mk3, to Ableton 11 and push 3. Only thing I don’t like about the workflow is how slow it is to browse sounds in push 3 compared to the NI ecosystem… with the new Ableton 12 browsing update, I hope it get’s mirrored in Push 3 so categories make it easier to find what we look for in order to keep the flow in our music making journey. Other than that, loving everything about it. Hope you listen to your customers. Greetings from Mexico City
Hi @ableton I would like to change the color when I push a pad or when It’s playing (it’s green for play and red for recording, that makes sense but I really don’t like the green…😅)
Hi there - Thanks for the comment. This function is not something that is built-in. But, there may be a custom user-created script out there on the internet that does this, which you could try - at your own risk! Hope this info helps. Thanks - Ableton
doesnt mean anything. you cant use it with VSTs because it doesnt take any parameters for the display. its useless in arrangement view. overall a tool for artists who make music that sounds like the ones in the video. Trash
@@RemmyMusic1 Exactly. I was really hoping they would blow us away after all this time, but they doubled-down on being restricted to a closed jam bubble thing...(focusing on Push 3 as an instrument, not a DAW...)........with no shift at all on putting it all together for a finished product. And btw, one would think that they could do a MAX vocal pitch correction....I mean, something ....anything.....for real world artists, songwriters, etc...
@@ChrisP3000x While the current Push 3 definitely needs some arrangement capability (not unlike the Akai Force) you have to ask yourself how realistic it is to expect all the full Ableton Live DAW functionality to be shoehorned into a single hardware box without it becoming an exercise in endless menu diving. Standalone by design means being limited in screen estate and controls/knobs that you have to work with. So Ableton has to make choices here. And like the earlier versions of the Push, I think Ableton made the right choice here to focus on the Session View and instrument play part of using the DAW. Arranging, mixing, and mastering are tasks that typically work better on a computer where you have a big screen for a better overview and where you can use the precision of mouse input. In the end, it's a delicate balance between adding functions and keeping the experience fun and intuitive to get the Push 3 where it needs to be. But with a few more years of development, they should get there. Personally, I have always viewed the Push 3 as a Gen 1 product. It's basically Ableton's first entrance into the groovebox market.
Hey people at Ableton, listen. We love the hardware, but fix the software inside PUSH to a level that can compete with the MPC series.. That's all you will need to dominate the groove box war. Please listen to your customers,
They didn't listen. They're selling an incomplete and below par product at an inflated price. Push 4 will probably be nearer to what it needs to be but at £1.5k Ableton can forget it. 😂
It was quite unreal to me how much the pads alone improved from Push 2 to Push 3. That alone is worth the upgrade in my opinion. Thanks for your hard work and always innovating, Ableton team!
Can you guys do a tutorial for using push 3 to send cv/gate/clock out please. Trying to figure this out and not sure how to set up the software side. Do you have to use the pushs audio interface for this to work or can you just send cv/gate/clock out in controller mode and use your preferred audio interface. Id prefer to do it this way rather than via midi to cv. Thanks
So excited to get going on mine. Unfirtunely it wont boot in standalone since trying to update the firmware a few hours out of the box. Been going back and forth with tech support via email with no solution yet ;( Great to hear some psytrance in a mainstream product promo!
Would love an update to allow that big beautiful wheel on the right to actually control things! For instance, when changing scales, this wheel does nothing. Instead, you perplexingly have to use the small knobs above each column. That large wheel is so fun to turn but I find it rarely controls anything!
Does the user replaceable kit include the CPU/RAM etc. ie. as technology improves and becomes more cost efficient we will see more powerful variants with nm reductions?
Only thing stopping me now is the price. I am Push 2 user and love it. When there is 1000€ and more there is so many options where to spend my money that will benefit my music production. Unfortunately Push 3 is too expensive for me and what it does.
The product is good and was a big challenge for sure (and real congratulations for that) but it's also (still?) limiting because it only includes Ableton's tools (instruments and effects): the day Ableton can include 3rd party VSTis and VSTs on the Push 3 then it will be possible to say we can do everything without the computer. Not yet the case, even if we hear it on the video. I'm only hoping it can come on Push 3 OS updates later on and I'm pretty sure that's what you (Ableton) want as much as we (musicians) do... 😉
great promo video ;) I streamed more than 600+ live improvisations with the push 2 + push 3 so far, thousands of hours of creative work, incredible instrument, my absolute favorite.
@olekolecki6313 You can buy Push directly from our web shop: www.ableton.com/en/push/?NjA2NTg2OQ%3D%3D& It is possible to buy a Push bundle with an upgrade of your current license to Live 11. Please log into your Ableton account to see your options and pricing.
Any roadmap for Ableton to support those who want the new Push controller, my Push 2 is old, not a new sound card. I have a much better CPU and audio interface. We just want new buttons and the new layout. Thank you
@@mju135 the audio interface is always included. I would like Push 2, but with all the new buttons and better layout of Push 3. Excluding the audio could lower the price. I’m betting the engineers have some reason the audio had to be included. I will probably end up buying it eventually, anyway. LOL
Biggest thing missing is tactile encoders and scissor switches for all buttons except the pads. Pads are perfect. Please don't touch the pads. Also please put a finger pad shaped divot in the jog wheels.
It's mostly the darker forest/darkpsy/hitech and most fullon/twilight that are still underground. There are tons of really mainstream psytrance tracks. For a while techno producers have been adopting psytrance bass into their tracks and slowly ditching the techno rumble. From my point of view anyway.
I'm all about Ableton - love the software! Been in the game for 15+ years, selling tunes, gigging, and running my own label. But hey, there's one thing I gotta say: Ableton needs to vibe with us musicians more. I mean, I'm not an engineer, I'm a musician and composer. Spending hours tweaking synths and drums? Nah, not my jam. Ableton should get on the genre-specific presets train. Give me some ready-made kits, you know? Less time tweaking, more time creating. Unlike some other genres, I'm not into those 808 dramatic pianos and whatnot. Shoutout to Maschine for nailing this - want to make classic house? Boom, done. In a nutshell, let's get those genre presets in Ableton. It's about making music, not being an engineer, right?"
Bit presumptuous, no? Telling companies what they "need to do" based on your personal use case. It's not like they have entire departments dedicated to business development and marketing, figuring out who their user base is and how best to position themselves in the market compared to other products. If Maschine is so great for your use case just keep using that I guess?
You got a point, but Ableton better focuses on the device and feature implementation instead of content, as there is a hell lot of content. I‘m sure third party content producers will offer Push 3 packs. (As there are already a ton of Ableton live ready).
@@mju135 I dont care if they have or not. I am just saying what makes sense for who make music in the real word. If u care about companies it's up to u, I am musician. Figuring out...
@@el_dani cool but if u see Maschine is way better just because of this. To use ableton I don't need push I use my mouse. In fact I have Push 2 but is to slow the process for using it. We need focus on the tracks. Some say push is good for Scales but I studied music and I have my ear I don't need scale midi to create chords or solos. In my point of view if you don't know chord or scale you should work with companies as my friend @mju135 bellow LOL
Right but every hardware brand does limited edition gear, Novation, Akai, Native Instruments, Hercules, Arturia, Roland, So why should Ableton be any different?
Push 2 is still very relevant because not everyone wants to pay extra for a built in audio interface, especially when most people have better audio interfaces. Good to see Rachel K collier in the video.

The only challenge I’m facing is that I don’t want to deal with plugins ever again. Just for mixing.

Great video. It's crazy that there was a working prototype in 2020. A lot of love and care (and complexity) went in to making this something we could use and I'm thankful for it.
My understanding is it was going to come out in 2021 if not for Covid.
Sooo cool to see the progression of thinking behind the design and behind the scenes at Ableton. Push 3 is epic 🎉
Thank you for the psytrance outro.
This is great! Would love to also see more behind the scenes of what goes into the development of Ableton Live!
People sitting at computers writting and testing code they are asked to work on by the head of software development.
Love design breakdowns like this!
Dope! Wish Apple would allow that type of upgradability.
What's the name of the track in the last few minutes, 6:40 please? Epic!

@olekolecki6313 You can buy Push directly from our web shop: www.ableton.com/en/push/?NjA2NTg2OQ%3D%3D&
It is possible to buy a Push bundle with an upgrade of your current license to Live 11. Please log into your Ableton account to see your options and pricing.
@@zackyzackyzacky1not sold by Ableton or any serious distributor
Any roadmap for Ableton to support those who want the new Push controller, my Push 2 is old, not a new sound card. I have a much better CPU and audio interface. We just want new buttons and the new layout. Thank you
Push 3 is available without the standalone part (no sound card, battery, CPU)
@@mju135 the audio interface is always included. I would like Push 2, but with all the new buttons and better layout of Push 3. Excluding the audio could lower the price. I’m betting the engineers have some reason the audio had to be included. I will probably end up buying it eventually, anyway. LOL
Biggest thing missing is tactile encoders and scissor switches for all buttons except the pads.
Pads are perfect.
Please don't touch the pads.
Also please put a finger pad shaped divot in the jog wheels.
The path to Push 3......... Is a toll bridge to New Jersey.
amaging
Push mini please 🙏🏼
I literally just bought a push 2 like 2 months ago n now I hear of a 3 😢 kinda sad cuz took me while to pay off ahhhh
Push 3 came out in May
OK I get that it has endless creative potential, but its clearing missing the most essential feature: why won't it pay my taxes for me?

I was shocked to hear a driving Psytrance (with video) track at the end. Is the Electronic Music scene finally acknowledging we Psytrancers exist?
It's mostly the darker forest/darkpsy/hitech and most fullon/twilight that are still underground. There are tons of really mainstream psytrance tracks. For a while techno producers have been adopting psytrance bass into their tracks and slowly ditching the techno rumble. From my point of view anyway.
Add volume sliders!!! Make it able to add more sliders!
How about "The Path to ARA2"?
free lifetime updates wooo!
Buttons are so small. when I hear a sound, I want to see that sound being played a mile away.
I'll wait until it's about 600$ on the used market for the controller only because 1000$ is just too much.

I'm all about Ableton - love the software! Been in the game for 15+ years, selling tunes, gigging, and running my own label.
But hey, there's one thing I gotta say: Ableton needs to vibe with us musicians more.
I mean, I'm not an engineer, I'm a musician and composer. Spending hours tweaking synths and drums? Nah, not my jam. Ableton should get on the genre-specific presets train.
Give me some ready-made kits, you know? Less time tweaking, more time creating. Unlike some other genres, I'm not into those 808 dramatic pianos and whatnot. Shoutout to Maschine for nailing this - want to make classic house? Boom, done.
In a nutshell, let's get those genre presets in Ableton. It's about making music, not being an engineer, right?"
Bit presumptuous, no? Telling companies what they "need to do" based on your personal use case. It's not like they have entire departments dedicated to business development and marketing, figuring out who their user base is and how best to position themselves in the market compared to other products. If Maschine is so great for your use case just keep using that I guess?
You got a point, but Ableton better focuses on the device and feature implementation instead of content, as there is a hell lot of content. I‘m sure third party content producers will offer Push 3 packs. (As there are already a ton of Ableton live ready).
@@mju135 I dont care if they have or not. I am just saying what makes sense for who make music in the real word. If u care about companies it's up to u, I am musician. Figuring out...
@@el_dani cool but if u see Maschine is way better just because of this. To use ableton I don't need push I use my mouse. In fact I have Push 2 but is to slow the process for using it.
We need focus on the tracks. Some say push is good for Scales but I studied music and I have my ear I don't need scale midi to create chords or solos. In my point of view if you don't know chord or scale you should work with companies as my friend @mju135 bellow LOL
Dude you don't need genre specific drums to make music. Drums from a broad selection can be finessed for any style. 😎
Nice to know that they are going to fleece us with a "special edition" white/grey one down the line that is already seemingly in production...
Maybe it’s just a custom skin
Right but every hardware brand does limited edition gear, Novation, Akai, Native Instruments, Hercules, Arturia, Roland, So why should Ableton be any different?
@@HOLLASOUNDS Yes but I’ve never seen anything like it from Ableton and there’s a lot of custom skins that you can apply to Push
You know you don’t need to buy it right
"Fleece us", my brother in Christ don't buy it then. Some people are real fun to be around...
Push 2 is still very relevant because not everyone wants to pay extra for a built in audio interface, especially when most people have better audio interfaces. Good to see Rachel K collier in the video.
Push 3 is available without the standalone sound card etc
