    Yes I think I’m on that train, too. At this point it’s also too much depending on the desktop software.

    No arrangement, limited M4L support, no rack editing, etc. so a lot of decisions have to be made in Live before you transfer a project to standalone mode.

    BTW this transfer process is how the M+ should work with Maschine software… ‘click-collect-send’ and continue working on your project in standalone.

    But I need the device to operate to the max in standalone, too. So if a vendor decides to call it EOL from a software integration perspective I could still use it… also if I would decide to start using another DAW.

    A lot of similar limitations standalone compared to being connected, much like a M+, yet sells like hot cakes. I own a Push 2 and Suite, but the upgrade path would still be £1669, so almost double the price of a M+. So at the price, it should be better than a M+ then, but nearly twice as good? Also, the base model is around half that price, so the upgrade path is presumably almost the price of a M+


    The Push 2 is pretty capable as is and I don't see it as much of an upgrade over that, so it's a hard sell for me. I prefer working with the Maschine too in all honesty. I can't imagine using a Push without a computer screen displaying a lot of the information that makes a DAW easier to use, so another upgrade path for me would have been a larger screen.


    That said, they do have a 'try for 30 days or my money back, including postage', so might be an option at some point, but it also might mean getting a repackaged used model that somebody else has sent back. Although, if that were the case, nothing to stop me returning and rebuying.
