Using MPE on Ableton Push 3 is a joy. I'll be frank and say that it was a little intimidating at first, and took some getting used to. Now that I see how much expression I can get out of Push 3's pads, I'm genuinely excited about it.

Ableton asked me to make a video looking at MPE on Push 3, and so I did just that; We'll start with the basic concepts (which you can skip if you know them), go through some examples from Live's library and finish with some sound design break-downs. This is not a review, but rather both a ground-up introduction and more detailed explorations of what we can "squeeze" out of the feature creatively speaking.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, I'll go into even more detail in future videos and most of all in the Push Bible courses, do check them out if you're hungry for more. https://wrkshp.thinkific.com

Do please let me know your questions and thoughts. I can't respond to every comment, but I do read everything, am grateful for them, and will take them onboard for future videos.
