<div>What I try to say between the lines (at least for myself and not pointing at you directly or anyone from musicbar): those controllers spoiled us, and we forget to do the real work ... :)</div><div><br></div><div>Symbolically in the average extreme pov :</div>
<div>Like cooking in the kitchen, it s not because all the technology + ''good'' food products + following the receipt that I will make a real decent meal ... or will I become a Master cook 3 stars as Joost or Gert, knowing my skills?lol :)</div>
<div>NO! but ... there we go :</div><div>I put the ableton cake powder with water then I mixed it, after I put it in the oven for 20 min, then I get your Brownie YEahhhhhhh ! :P</div><div>And I know, it sucks, cause depending on the chocolate concentration, they all tastes the same as the one in your closest favorite fast food but who cares cause they re all full of sugar ... and this why we all love it and of course we all want more .. Romain is suddenly a Chef like the one in south park! (even if the master is clipping ?) </div>
<div><br></div><div>Well the falling part of the story is as you know, in some European countries, now days, we don t really know what we eat anymore (pigs, horses, or pigeons?) so in the same simplistic schema of average technological tastes, I won t be surprised that tomorrow, we ll be disturb to discover how we make and how we listen music in general.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, no Push for me ... Of course, I won t be surprised, someone like you with your musical skills can make very nice stuff from this evil machine nb1 without any doubt ... otherwise this machine really sucks for sure . .. hehe :D</div>
<div><br></div><div>I could be wrong but i think Push tries to be a kind of automap concept (but only for ableton) as Novation tried for many daws... </div><div><br></div><div>Romain</div><div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<div>The question I asked myself with those new devices is :</div>
<div>Should we really play music without thinking ?</div>
<div>I mean ... plugging an electrical device and pushing buttons (all pre-setup by engineer) makes you a musician-composer ?</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>Isn't that what a piano is? Also I'm sure you can select whatever mode you want for the most part, just pick chromatic.</div>

<div>Just do a experience, put all those neophyte musicians all together with their machines-maker and the result is: they can'T play together any harmonies, variations .. just chaos stuff comes out and of course you will need drugs to appreciated it ... in 4\4! </div>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>actually, they would play in harmony because they could all select the same key</div><div class="im"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div>Ok, now i go back to the circle of fourth and fifth to be able to play with other real musicians who knows what is a key ! :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Don t take it personally ... You are a very good musician as the most barians on the list and i hope that push will bring you a better workflow for your creativity, but in general i really wonder where the world is going with all this technology against theory as i mentioned above ...</div>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I'll argue that a laymen playing on Push with the scales etc, set-up is making music more in tune with traditional music theory, vs. how I usually work which is messing around with the keyboard playing things that sound good to my ear, having no idea what the chords are called.</div>
