A standalone Push is finally here and it stands to reason that @Ableton will want to make doubly sure that Push 3 can cut the mustard when running untethered from your laptop.
So of course, the first thing we thought of was to see how far we could push Push, with its Intel i3 processor with 8GB RAM and a 256GB hard drive.
To keep things straightforward and thoroughly unscientific, we decided on a simple test of stacking key devices until Push fell over.
Here we’re aiming to find out how many monophonic and polyphonic tracks of Wavetable can it it run, before moving onto finding the limit of tracks using Drift with lots of MPE.

HEY BABE! NEW PUSH JUST DROPPED!
is this official yet?
thanks for info!!
It’s rubber finish case like push 2?
18:00 (Yes, Perfect for the tracks where we need 15 copies of the same voice ; – ) does seem like enough for regular trax, and the most? of any standalone DAW)
If it’s MPE, is it as expressive as the Linnnstrument?
looks pretty good. i wonder if we can use external drives with it. or just upgrade to 4tb ssd's. which m4l devices work.
well there are no cpu spike sounds which is very very amazing.
Guess the sampling rate also plays a big part. I'm already used to 96000khz on the M1 Laptop.
Thx for the video. Whats the standalone audio frequency and the latency?
2348EUR for the power of a 234EUR laptop?
Oh well. I probably will never understand why to make a device which function like computer but a bit more fiddly. I can understand if it is something like Elektron with its unorthodox workflow or vintage MPC with its own 12bit sound. But why this devices exist? Laptop with daw will be more powerful and quick for music production. For live use there are lot better options too.
To me this just a cheap computer in a fancy box that slow down workflow. Nothing else…
Can this iteration of push export a wav to say an external usb flash drive? To be truly standalone, i think it wuld need to be able to export the song to some sort of physical medium/format.
What kills other standalone synths is heavy fx like complex reverbs, amp sims or complex audio modelling synths. That’s the test I want to see.
That’s terrible 2 hours battery? 256 gigs? So weak my guy.
I reckon 16GB ram upgrade will sort it out!
I really wonder how it behaves with 3 sample channels drums shakers and percussion and 8 to 10 instrument channels with eqs and fx. Plus mastering fx on master channel. 🙏
