Ableton Push 3

The new 64-pad grid with its stark white backdrop is the absolute star of the show. The transition to MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) is phenomenal. You can slide your fingers across individual pads on the X and Y axes for pitch bends, vibrato, and filter sweeps, and they respond beautifully to per-note polyphonic aftertouch. Playing synth leads like Ableton's Drift instrument or tweaking acoustic samples feels entirely organic. It completely transforms the Push from a rigid beat-making grid into a highly expressive physical instrument. The Weight: If you plan to throw this in a backpack for daily travel, you are definitely going to feel the added bulk. Even without the standalone components, it is a significant investment for a MIDI controller. If you are heavily accustomed to relying on a mouse for clip editing and arranging, dedicating yourself to the Push workflow still takes time to master. If you work heavily in Ableton Live and want a truly hands-on, screen-free creative experience, the Push 3 Controller is unmatched. The expressiveness of the MPE pads alone justifies the upgrade. Highly recommended!

The push 3 is a super well thought out controller that is perfectly paired with ableton live. I recently made a move from a long stint in logic pro to working mostly in ableton to support an interest in using standalone hardware devices like the mpc's from akai. Turns out I'm a software guy and this guy can not go back to smaller screens and weird workflows. Ableton makes quick production simple and fun while still supporting advanced functionality with Live. Push is pre-mapped and easy to navigate to get a tactile vibe going with the software without having to relearn workflows, the underlying functions of which are second nature at this point. Love it and can't recommend it enough.
