Ableton Push 2 Bundle with Ableton Live 9 Suite

General

If you're a musician or producer, you know inspiration can come and go, which is why it's crucial to get your ideas down as quickly and easily as possible. A computer is a great way to do that, but often, an instrument is necessary to really get your creative juices flowing. The Ableton Push 2 is the ideal combination of the two—it's an interface that connects to your computer but functions as an instrument. Besides loading in the sounds directly from the Ableton Live 9 DAW software, the Push 2 also functions as a MIDI controller so you can use external modules or plugins for an even more diverse and truly unique result.

Step sequencer and editor

Using the 64 velocity-sensitive pads, you can quickly lay down a groove without losing your inspirational flow. After you've recorded an idea, you can edit it in real time with the pads, which can be pre-programmed to the diatonic or chromatic scale for playing melodies, or used to create beats. You can split your parts up or change their order, or manipulate your samples so they sync perfectly with your composition. The possibilities are endless! When it comes to composing, there is no other tool like it. The Push 2 is built for the future!

Navigation and other functions

Using the built-in browser, you can scroll through your sample library, VSTs, Audio Unit plugins or other devices that have been integrated into Ableton Live. All you have to do then is choose your favourite samples and you're good to go! The full-colour display shows you which sample is being used and which parameter can be selected. The mixing process is also completely intuitive—levels, pans, and encoders are shown as soon as you use the rotary knob. The Push is at your command, whether you're at home, in the studio or on stage! With its user-friendly interface, you can switch with ease between improvising with loops, chords, or individual notes!

• When you register your Push 2, you will gain access to the full version of Ableton Live 9 Suite in the form of an 'esd' download, which means the language of the program will be determined by your operating system.
