Ableton Push 2 is a next generation MIDI controller that works seamlessly with Live to provide a hands-on creative experience as well as the ability to professionally fine tune and finish your track. Push 2 is designed and engineered by Ableton for a complete music-making experience that is intuitive, expressive and seamlessly integrated with the Live software. Push and Live combine to make beats, play notes and chords as well as allowing you to work with samples and develop song structure. All this comes with freedom from a computer screen. Pure, creative control.

New Ways to Make Music - Push 2 puts even more elements of song creation and performance at your fingertips. Play and program beats, melodies and harmonies, use new sampling workflows to slice samples across the pads, play single hits, or play back time stretched samples, and quickly browse preview and load anything from your library of sounds and instruments. Plus, with Push’s new smoother, more responsive pads and a multicolour display that adapts to show exactly what you need, Push is opening up new levels of playability for modern musicians.
Get Creative with Samples

Push 2 has 3 separate workflows that offer fast and flexible ways to work with samples. Rearrange loops on the fly or create drum kits from recorded grooves by instantly chopping up long samples and playing each slice on a different pad through the Slicing mode. Classic mode lets you turn melodic samples into playable pitched instruments, and you can use the encoders to define start and end points as well as attack, decay, sustain and release for each. In One Shot mode, samples play back monophonically and all the way through, no matter how long you hold the pad which is ideal for playing drums. You can also transpose a playing sample without re-triggering it, allowing you to transform melodic phrases into whole new melodies.

Seamless Integration with Live 9.5 - Launch clips and scenes, tweak device parameters and control mixer levels and sends on Push and Live can capture every movement. When you’re ready, switch from Push to your computer to find your music already laid out in Live ready and waiting.
