Downloader and private browser premium. Troubleshooting Push. It may be a priority issue! The Push should automatically work with Melodics. But Ableton Live will take priority, Melodics will only correctly connect when Ableton Live is not open. Melodics connects to the User port of the Push (the port used for custom User mappings).
Melodics will work with any keyboard that sends midi over USB, and has plug and play support for dozens of kits from major brands such as Novation, Akai, M-Audio, Roland, and Alesis.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY7wqx2mLsAI'm not seeing discussions on this.. This shit is AWESOME!!!!
I thought I was early but it appears to have been released in October(Mac) (Windows out now).
Did a search and only found one person mention it as a comment.. in a thread.Been using it for the last few days and got a coupon code from Abes yesterday to unlock some more lessons. They say it works with almost all controllers and the latency slider goes down to a proper 'real feel' on my windows 10 machine. I am using with Maschine Mk2, haven't figured out how to use it with my Push 2 yet.
I haven't gotten to the higher stages yet but I'm already seeing improvement in my timing and coordination. I hope the higher levels will have the '16 Pad Keyboard' playing so I can finally have 'piano' lessons, and on a keyboard would be even better.
Are you guys using this and not liking it or something, There are tons of Free lessons. I'm surprised everyone is not going crazy over this (then again I might not tell my crew until everyone is amazed at how good I've gotten.. My brain to hand coordination is ... used to be, retarded!)
So yesterday I finally caved in and bought a Push 2 (yeah, yeah, I know..) Went through the initial setup and everything was fine: connected to Live, did the firmware update and Push working exactly as advertised. The one thing I wasn't keen on, though, was the angled USB cable supplied with Push. This means that the cable is exiting Push to the right, which is the exact opposite of what I need in my setup, and means I have to bend the cable back on itself to make it fit. Not good. Anyway, this shouldn't be a problem, I just substitute in a 'straight' USB cable (one supplied with an HP printer, with the correct connectors and known to work) and the problem should be solved, right? Well, no. In fact things got a bit weird. I tried the new cable with both Live 9.5 and the Melodics app, both with and without Push's external PSU, and here's what happened:
Live 9.5. Initial logo screen on Push, but then goes blank. Live doesn't recognise Push at all. Still get the initial Logo even when Push's external PSU is not used (so must be getting power over USB at the very least), but apparently no data communication. Go back to the originally supplied USB cable and everything is fine again.

Melodics. Melodics could 'see' that Push was connected, but no response to the Push pads. Again, this was the same whether Push's PSU was connected or not (so power reaching Push over USB as before). Also (and this was very odd) the USB modem that I have connected to another USB port on my PC stopped working when trying to use Push with Melodics via the substitute USB cable. This wasn't just coincidence, I repeated the experiment several times with identical results. When I went back to the original USB cable, everything worked fine.Melodics Push 2 Release
So.. is there something 'special' about the USB cable that Ableton supply with Push? The only visible difference is that the Ableton-supplied cable has a cylindrical 'hump' in it which I assume is some kind of interference suppressor (???) I'm pretty sure that the substitute cable was seated properly too, though this is something I could investigate further. I may have a couple of other substitute cables that I could also try this evening. I really don't want to carry on using the angled USB cable because it looks ugly bent over the way it is and I don't think the internal conductors are going to last long being bent like that.Melodics Push 2 Live
Any thoughts?
