good service, price is cheaper than my own country, packaging is safe with no damage

very good product

Good material quality, live 9 comes with not one but three different tools for analysing audio and generating MIDI clips containing notes derived from the original material. In fact, audio-to-MIDI has been in Live for a while in the form of clip slicing, whereby an audio clip is taken apart and converted into a MIDI clip playing a Sampler which contains fragments of the original audio. However, the audio analysis used in this process is rudimentary, and audio transients or warp markers are the only information used. Live 9's new analysis features dig deeper into the audio material. As you'd expect, the functions are extremely sensitive to the quality and accuracy of the source material, and you'll almost certainly have to do some cleaning-up work with the resulting clip. To test the harmonic capture I started with a MIDI clip playing piano, froze the clip to generate audio and then did the harmony-to-MIDI conversion. Apart from a few spurious high harmonics, the result was pretty faithful to the original, although these were ideal test conditions. I also threw three minutes of Debussy from my iTunes library into the system, and the result was a pretty impressive transcription, with only the occasional obvious wrong note.My attempts to capture a whistled tune as a MIDI melody worked after a fashion, although it insisted on rendering all my F-naturals as F-sharps: I suspect the source material was to blame. Drum-to-MIDI conversion seemed less useful: a lot of my tests ended up as snare-only, or all three sounds layered at once, and since the resulting output is so simple in terms of sound palette, you're probably better off just playing by ear or sequencing it directly. As the disclaimer goes, your mileage may vary!

Much better than Push 1. The best controler for Ableton ever

Perfect Partner for Live 9

When to software company make the hardware it's generally seamless. the Push proves this point perfectly

Truly mature product

I was about to pull the trigger and buy the first version but did see the shortcomings. This is definitely the product that Live should ship with. Well done, Ableton.

Push-ing me on 2 new things

Pc - Ableton Live 9.5 Suit and Push 2

Works great and it?s user friendly.....even my 8 year old daughter has lots of fun jamming with me.

Now we?re putting the home studio to good use.

Great controller!

I am very happy with the device.

Had the original Push and this one is a great improvement in my opinion. The new pads are like candy to my fingers and the larger upgraded screen is very nice.

Keeps me rocking for hours without a break.

Much love!
