Ableton Push 3 - Hackdot

I think my ideal setup is still the Push 2. You’ve got your mouse and keyboard for more tedious workflows and VST usage, and then the Push as an expressive platform to jam with and explore ideas on. Best of both worlds.

It seems like the Push standalone was designed for performers in mind? Would be pretty sweet to not have to bring a laptop up on stage with you, I’d imagine, especially if your setup is modular and otherwise DAW-less.

TBH this looks like the MPC Live (except done with by people with a bit of taste.)

Sketch out things when you're out and about, some simple recordings etc., then bring it back to the studio and just plug it in and have everything there. It's a good plan, and it looks like a great execution, too.

The Mpc live is a full DAW in a box (with speakers too!) though. At first glance this seems more like a portable drum loop machine.

This is literally Ableton Live, an actual DAW, in a box.

I think the real power of the stand-alone is being able to take it to inspiring places to write music or even just laying on the sofa and then you can plug in and transfer to the computer later for mixing and in-depth editing.
