Ableton Push 3 Standalone First Impressions

Plenty of videos in the Learn Push

The overview video does not mention how to get to the settings

Installing a Pack can take a long time - at least for a pack that has a 7 GB installation size.

Glad I picked the Session Drum Club pack as the first drum pack to download, as it has MPE-enabled kits. Apparently it's the only pack that has such kits.

Expressive Choir loads quickly

I tried all the sounds listed in the MPE Sounds category. I didn't find any bass or lead sounds that let me control volume with velocity. I found one lead that whose loudness could be controlled by pad pressure.
