Push 1 is still awesome and there's a ton on the second hand market for a fraction of the price of Push 2. You get way more than you pay for at those prices.
I'm happy with mine, I like the pads and it's fine for sequencing and playing. It still receives updates and improvements.
I do like the screen on Push 2, it looks like a nice update, but you are paying a lot for that screen, so you better use it!
I also own a Maschine Mikro MkII by Native Instruments, it's my go-to machine for finger drumming beats and sonic experiments... great pads, very precise, compact and enjoyable. The Maschine software is very good, and the add-on sound packs are great quality.
- andkon 9y agoHaving tried both a ton before settling on the Push 2, the screen is great, but that's not why I bought it. In every way it feels better to make music on than the first Push. The pads especially are a thousand times more responsive — the Push 1's got this weird wooden feeling that never seemed to register the velocity I was going for. I think the Push 2 is ~3x as much, and it is worth every penny.
- fil_a_del_fee_a 9y agoI was shocked at how sensitive the pads are on the Push 2. A graceful brush of a finger triggers the pads. I know that sensitivity can he adjusted, but wow! I produce classic Hip-Hop / Rap music which involves sampling. The screen is insanely helpful when it comes to chopping samples.
- fil_a_del_fee_a 9y agoI have been listening to some of the Maschine patches on YouTube and am very impressed. EDIT: Wow the Mikro is very affordable!
- shallot_router 9y agoAlso a fan of the Maschine Mikro, though I don't like the Maschine software very much.
