Does anyone use push standalone without a rigid tempo? If so, how do you find it? Got any tips?

I’m not after info on how to use follow tempo, and I know how scenes can have their own bpm triggered on launch etc. I’m talking a general disregard of tempo, switching off launch quantise and just going bpm blind. I find a rigid tempo can sound pretty sterile and repetitive. I’ve had a play around, but I can’t see it as anything but stressful for playing live, even for ambient tunes without beats

Would be great to hear from anyone who has experimented, and any suggestions you might have

Thanks

New M4L Device: Move4Live – 4-Track Session Starter for Ableton Live & Push 3 Standalone

Hi,

Just in time for the update to version 12.4 of Ableton Live and Push 3 Standalone, I’ve released my free Max for Live device Move4Live v1.1.1, the 4-track session starter for Ableton Live and Push 3 Standalone.

The Ableton Move gets one thing exactly right: the moment you start a new set, you can just play. Four randomly chosen instruments, no setup, no “where do I even begin?” – you're making music immediately instead of making decisions.

Move4Live brings that idea to Ableton Live 11/12: With the press of one button you get four ready-to-play tracks – e.g. Drums, Bass, Pad, Synth Keys – with randomly selected presets from your library. Plus optional return tracks, random send levels and a mastering chain modeled directly after the one used by Ableton Move.

You can also set up automatically assignable MIDI input channels, so you can start jamming right away with your hardware sequencers or friends using multiple MIDI controllers sending MIDI data to their corresponding port.

It could just as well be called Move4Push now, since starting with Push 2.4, the device also runs on Push 3 Standalone.

Move4Live is a one-person project and your feedback genuinely matters. I would love to hear about your experience, any bugs you have encountered, feature ideas – or especially whether you got it running on macOS.

Thanks,

Something useful (and free) for the Push 3 users fed up with backup

(I'm not trying to shill or sell anything, I just want to help everyone save their valuable time.)

I have spent MANY hours trying to backup and sync projects between my desktop and Push 3.

That's partly because unless you are very selective and manually move files (what I've been doing), it takes a long time to transfer gigabytes of full Project data between the two over WIFI.

The kicker is, if something fails you have to start over, and many of the files will have not changed, but they will all end up being resent.

This is all to say, I built a script that's based on rsync, which only moves and synchronizes the files that have changed between your computer and your Push device.

You have to be somewhat technical (command line) to use it, but it's hard to beat the price and time savings!

Let me know if you have any questions! Hope this helps save your time like it does mine
