I think one of the things that helped keep r/synthesizers active was the automatic creation of weekly threads like "Friday Hangout", where you could leave casual thoughts that might not feel worthy of a top-level post. So, why not try something similar here?

Consider this a trial run. If people like it, maybe we'll make it a weekly thing. I welcome suggestions for a better title.

Quick one... Really itching to get a push 3 for couch jamming and taking to practices. I'm really getting tired of lugging multiple synthesizers or laptop accessories.

That price tag though, oof

I've found that standalone is hard to justify. Yeah the idea is fun but this has been my experience:

  1. The push 3 is heavy and warm. Playing it on my lap isn't comfortable. (Though we're going through a heat wave at the moment so that might contribute to that dislike)
  2. I've brought it to a friend a few times, but that bag I used would have easily fit a laptop.

MPE is a lot of fun though and actually unlocks so many new tricks. My slides have never sounded this "natural" compared to a programmed slide.

@ChappIO Yeah, I've heard that the push is heavy and gets hot. I think for #2, my use case is not having to bring all of the necessary accessories that I would with a laptop - Get to ditch the audio interface, keyboard if I want to really pair down etc. But then, the battery life isn't nearly as good. Lots of things to weigh....
