the push 3 can run in standalone mode, I’ll give them credit for making this a bit modular, you can buy a push 3 controller then add the compute module later. They also say they will be selling more powerful upgrades to the module in the future. It’s just a intel cpu and some ram (most standalone boxes these days are just linux machines, NI mashine, all the akai boxes, polyend)… it would be cool instead of a trade in/recycle program for them to make a little plastic case to put the old one in when you upgrade. Could do stuff like turn it into an umbrel server and do self hosted relay, or just run some auxiliary audio apps on. I kinda hate the standalone trend, because they are just computers with a suggested workflow, and to me part of the art of electronic music is composing a unique workflow.
