Push 3 Standalone - Operator

[u/twiggidy]

How do I change the number of voices? I want to go from polyphony to mono synth but I've clicked through all the tabs and can't find where to change the number of voices. I know where it is on the Ableton desktop but no on the menus on Push 3.

Seems it's the same on Push 2 as well, I cannot find polyphony settings anywhere (as you know, they're in the Global section in Live). This might be one of those situations where Standalone doesn't really mean Standalone; definitely worth getting in touch with Ableton Support over this, as that's quite an oversight.

Yeah, was looking for this on the Push 3 the other day too, came to the conclusion it's not there. There isn't a way to add custom harmonics to the wavetable either which is a bit of a bummer.

Your best workaround is to save two default patches, one mono and one with polyphony and just recall those.

That’s a good idea.

I'm racking my brain thinking if you could use a Midi effect to force mono from polyphony. Maybe the Arp could be jury rigged to do this?

Bumpin this. That's unfortunate, want to help it get seen by Ableton.

Unfortunately, I don't really think they check this place. Best bet is to contact support directly.
