Highly-rated music controller praised for its intuitive design and seamless Ableton integration. Customers said it's "plug and play" with "pleasant touch" and "streamlines creativity." Requires Ableton knowledge for optimal use. Some noted standalone ergonomics could be better initially, though "easy once understood." One customer wished for built-in audio interface.

I have been watching Push 2 tutorials for several months but after receiving it and trying it out, I am very happy with my purchase.

Being able to control almost everything Ableton from the Push 2 without constantly looking at the computer, unleashes creativity.

I still have lots of things to discover.
