So they built a Linnstrument? Honestly don't know who was first, but I know I looked at the Linnstrument a long time ago (when my daughter Linn was really young, she's 13 now). The Linnstrument looks better and has more buttons, and more is better, right? https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument https://www.rogerlinndesign.com/linnstrument

"Looks better" meaning "aesthetically more pleasing".

The idea behind Push is you can control everything in Live with it. It's not a generic MIDI controller like a Launchpad. It's a full hardware interface to a specific piece of software.

Have you seen the Soundplane (https://madronalabs.com/soundplane https://madronalabs.com/soundplane)?

And Linnstrument is open source. And is a generic MIDI controller that works with any MPE compatible synth and any MPE VSTi instruments - such as Audio Modeling. The Push doesn't support VSTi.

  Push does support VSTi when you connect it to your PC.

    I understand that. But it would be most excellent if they supported VSTi in standalone mode.

      Your initial post seemed to be comparing the Push and the Linnstrument. It would also be excellent if the Linnstrument supported VSTs at all. They seem to be identical in this respect.

The first Push was released in 2013, the Linnstrument in 2014.

I own a Linnstrument. I used to own a Push 2. They're very different. Everything has (or will eventually have) MPE so everyone is "just building Linnstruments", just like everyone has been "just building MPCs". The touch interface of the Linnstrument has limitations that the Push probably doesn't. For example, the Linnstrument can register no more than three simultaneous touches in a single column.
