‌‌Ableton Push 2 + Live 11 Standard + software courses - set

What is push

Push is a hardware instrument designed and manufactured by the Ableton brand to create expressive music in practical mode and fully integrate into the live environment. Push and Live work perfectly together, so you can create bits, play notes and chords, cut samples, and create the entire structure of the song - all without looking at the computer.

Build bits

Browse, listen, and upload your own samples, visit the extensive live drum kit library, or explore Beat Tools - a range of samples you get with Push. Play your compositions with 64 pressure sensitive pads and make sounds while playing with eight touch sensitive encoders (endless rotation). 

In 16-pad push mode, you can play notes, program sequences in steps, and adjust the length of the loop - all in the same view. The 64-pad system allows the entire 8x8 matrix to be used to play multiple samples, e.g. B. drums, in real time. 

Play notes and chords

Push pads and treble correspond to specific sounds, the arrangement and structure provides a very intuitive and easy to play melodies and chords. Large intervals or complex parties are not the slightest problem. You will be delighted with the ease with which you can choose the key and scale.

Work with samples

Three independent modes offer a quick and comfortable working environment for your samples. Slice mode allows you to cut long samples instantly and automatically assign the cut pieces to the pads - ideal for rearranging the loops on the fly, or creating a sampled drum kit from drum loops. Classic mode offers the ability to assign melodic instrument samples to convert samples to sample pads of different heights. What's more, thanks to the touch transmitter can edit the beginning and the end of the sample and the envelope. One Shot mode plays the sample from start to finish, no matter how long you hold down the pad - is ideal for playing drum samples. Interestingly, the pads can also change the height of the sample playback without having to change the trigger and the point at which it is currently playing.

In addition, you can now try the input and output of audio and MIDI directly on the push-in, an external hardware - without disturbing the flow.

Nice and musical

Each push element has been carefully thought out to bring a new level of experience to users. Multicolor display is customized to show exactly what they need to be in a creative sequence. Push pads are soft, sensitive and responsive - ideal for playing bits and melodies.

Push is an instrument that works at home, in the studio, and on stage. Your performances will be unique due to the ability to improvise freely in each mode. Whether you're playing melodies, chords or working on rehearsals and drums - everything you have on hand and on cue, one instrument all on - push-in.
