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.

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....
