I am very glad Ableton has created dedicated hardware for this. I currently use APC 40, MicroKorg. I had a Kaoss Pad, but that was sold. I have never found the "perfect" midi solution for Ableton. Push looks great.<p>Push has several things that I want to use. The Touch Strip looks like a smart addition to a midi controller. Reminds me a a bit of the Jazz Mutant Lemur.<p>I can't wait to try the pads and see how they handle pressure.
Live 8 has been great, but definitely excited for 9. The new Gate and Compressor look cool.<p>The ability to sort and view my instruments by rank will come in very handy.<p>If I could have Push, an Eigenharp, and a Hang Drum. I would be set.
