Among the other notable additions are the Fixed Length button and Mix button, as well as a new layout of some of the old controls – all of which are more intuitive, simpler to understand, and favoured by its users. They added a Convert function which converts the sampler you loaded to simpler into a drum rack. The Simpler function has been reworked and integrated into the Push 2 and you can now do on the device what you previously needed a mouse to execute. The text looks sharper, it can show more kinds of graphics and is able to show the waveform of samples accurately, allowing users to manipulate it on the Push 2 instead of their computer screen.ĭigging into the details, Push 2 added a number of features and buttons to integrate more of Ableton Live’s features into a tangible controller. Users also like the subtle change on the touchstrip which is now wider and almost flush with the surface of the device.Īmong the biggest updates that users like on the Push 2 is the larger and full-colour LCD display. The drum pads now have a different material that is more recessed and barely pop out of the device’s surface – more importantly, they are also more responsive.
Very happy with purchases.Push 2, like its predecessor, is a solid, sturdy and durable controller.
#STEP SEQUENCER ABLETON PUSH 2 FULL#
August 2017 +1000 This would be a huge addition Combined with a controller it could also open up BM3 to full Elektron p-locks functionality too. With the 8 pages on the 64 pad screen it would be so perfect. I bought the Decksaver over the Prodector as it was the heaviest, weight-wise. Just a feature request about using the pads as a step sequencer like Ableton Push. replaces a lot of stuff & adds incredible utility & functionality with Max4Live. With clip envelopes, you can go to town, sending unlinked, polymeter midi CC out to synths with wild results. Push 2 has that tight, syncopated vibe too. Its kinda like 'playing' a step sequencer. creating stuff that I'd never have done with a keyboard or midi roll in Ableton. One thing I loved & then missed about the MPC was its midi functionality. Staying in that flow, finding a groove & building layers of sound.Ĭreating this way sounds more organic. There is genuinely something special about being able to create a groove with your fingertips & being able to interact with patterns on the fly. I bought the Push 2 to demo & ended up keeping it. Missed the workflow of my Akai MPC2500, being able to jam & create the music with my hands. But if you are looking for a general purpose MIDI controller or your primary DAW is not Ableton, there are better choices at this price point. I would recommend it to beginner and advanced Ableton users alike. It is sturdy, well designed, aesthetically pleasing, and a lot of fun to play and if you are accustomed to working without controllers, or with other comparable controllers at this price point, you are in for a treat! The Push 2 has transformed my production workflow entirely and it is now at the center of my home studio. In summary, it is a very broad and very deep controller, thoughtfully designed to make arrangement and performance intuitive and pleasurable. But if you are looking for a hardware interface to Ableton Live it is unmatched! It is a class-compliant MIDI device, but it's MIDI over USB, so there are some limitations if you want to work directly with other hardware devices. But there are better choices of controller if you are working primarily with another DAW. I have used the Push 2 with Renoise, and a useful subset of the basic feature set is preserved, provided you are willing to do some work to configure it. If you are using the Push 2 with another DAW, you will lose quite a bit of functionality. Practically everything just works, right out of the box and the community around Ableton and the Push 2 is exceptional! VST integration is surprisingly straightforward too, requiring minimal setup. The encoders are smooth and much more accurate than I expected, and they feel good to work with. The pads are touch sensitive and a joy to play. Menu navigation is a breeze and very intuitively organised. You can expect to make your first beats within minutes of plugging the device in! Sample slicing, mangling, and sequencing with the controller is a game-changer for me and the high-res display is excellent. It is quick and easy to get up and running, but the device has many advanced features if you are willing to put in the time. I use it for breakcore, acid, and trance production and it adapts exceptionally well to each production context.
#STEP SEQUENCER ABLETON PUSH 2 SOFTWARE#
Since it was purpose built for Ableton, integration with the software is practically flawless. Controller for Ableton Live Ableton Live version 9.5 or higher, 64 Backlit pads, 8 Touch-sensitive rotary knobs, Clip launch mode for performance and real-time arrangement recording, Scales mode.
The Push 2 is an excellent controller for the Ableton user.
