Thanks for the clarification, early YT reviews seem to have differing opinions!- OK stating i9 may have been a bit optimist (and overkill!) but its only 'launch' day and I suspect things will only only improve in terms of available parts, optimisation and any old M4L updates- Abelton are 'all in' on this...the future is bright...I will also be getting the PUSH 3 controller, but the fact that I can update to standalone if I want at a latter date is amazing.fugazi81 wrote: Tue May 23, 2023 11:58 amI don't want to spoil the mood, I ordered the standalone version, but that sounds a bit too optimistic.SLiC wrote: Tue May 23, 2023 10:34 am Every single instrument and FX and MAX4Live device that work in Live Suite work in PUSH 3 Standalone- its exactly the same software just limited by CPU Power (i3 included but you can put whatever processor you want in if you want more power). Interesting its running in Linux so I wonder if there will be a new Linux version of Live!
I am also not bothered about standalone (although it is a pretty useful hardware sampler you could move around the studio without needing it to be plugged in- 2 x TRS inputs for sampling or running hardware synths through with Lives effects...)
The processor, RAM, SSD etc are all upgradable and you can add them to the non standalone version at any time (so theoretical you can add an i9 if you really want!)
The IO looks really useful even on the basic model
There are two pre-amp equipped jack inputs, two main outputs, and two more assignable monitor/headphone outs. ADAT in and out ports, allowing expansion up-to 10 ins and 12 outs...+ 4 CV outs...midi etc
It looks like you can't update your own components, only those offered by Ableton. The Intel NUC used cannot operate an I9. But that's all in the FAQ.

"The Intel® NUC Compute Element combines a processor, RAM memory and WiFi. It’s the first Intel® processor to be adapted for Push, with upgrade to a more powerful version possible in the future."
Can I use components that aren’t included in the Upgrade Kit?
No. Using parts that aren’t from Ableton could be hazardous, and will void your warranty. You need to have all four standalone components either installed or removed for your Push to work. Don’t turn your Push on if you only have some of the parts installed, or if the backplate hasn’t been screwed on properly.
And M4L doesn't run fully either, or some devices don't run because they rely on libraries that don't run on the operating system (Linux) used by Push3.
Today was another great day, especially for Ableton fans.
PS- Live 11.3.2 has dropped at the Live site , pretty big update mainly focused on MPE as you would expect!
