Spent the day improving the mapping for the Push 2 and the Move today. Also tested cue out with the teenage engineering EP-136 external mixer. Excited to launch this one soon. Are you ready to Push Play? 😁

Live is 25 today 🥳 Here are some memories from the journey so far, including a Session View from Live 1, a user manual, and one of the original logos.

A while ago I made a tool to debug the display engine I built for the Push. During an exploration I did to see if Push could become a gaming platform I made a version of the famous pong game. cc: @AbletonDev @Ableton

This. To me this is the biggest L ever. All just so that they can train engineers and users for the glass world they want to move to…
If you thought the amount of iOS apps adapted for the Duo was bad Imagine all the macOS apps that will never be adapted for touch It's just going to be the Touch Bar all over again. Zero use case, zero adoption, dead weight (& cost), then bravely dropped 5yrs from now

Push Play is now available on Test Flight for iOS, iPad and macOS. If you have an Ableton Push (2,3) or a Move please give it a go. Please let me know what you think and how I can improve it 🙏 testflight.apple.com/join/Ur…
Push is my favourite instrument since 2016. I love building things I haven’t seen anyone else do with it. This DJ app came up when I was invited to DJ by friends here in London - I’m not even a dj… but I didn’t want to go buy a whole new setup. So I built “this”. Also works with Move by the way.

Apologies to everyone who showed interest on PushPlay. Summer happened, moved home, visited long time friends and paid some "debts", worked a lot as usual, life happened simply put. I am working today on preparing a beta release and I will share a link as soon as I can! Ask any questions or DM in the meantime 🙏

iPod 25th anniversary celebration day! This product (along with the iMac) pretty much saved Apple from bankruptcy back in the day and paved way for the iPhone.

My hot take is that since Apple moved to SwiftUI it has been running a world scale beta program: - SwiftUI led to building apps across platforms. I think SwiftUI will improve over time… iPhone apps now work on macOS - iPhone Air led to Duo - Duo introduces many breakpoints that will naturally adapt on the upcoming touch MacBook devices enriching the macOS AppStore - Live activities, widgets, and all apps will also power VisionOS or a future glass device - app intents will enable AI and screen-less interactions, when a bit of context is needed live activities and widgets will do It’s a long game but right now Apple is strengthening their coverage across all consumer multi-media device categories.

Testing some concepts. This won't be the final version but it help trigger an idea for something more organic feel.

Last night I found myself “accidentally”at a poetry reading event at Cafe OTO. I was hoping to find a music gig but instead found poetry. Poetry about life, about migration, about war, about family, about religion and more. I love these serendipitous moments of life. Finding what I needed but I wasn’t looking for.
