Using the virtual instruments supplied with Live, melodic patterns can be easily played in any key using the same fingering. In addition to creating beats and triggering loops, the controller has been set up to allow for playing melodies and chords.

Select a step and adjust timing and velocity individually for each cell. Hold a pad to repeat notes in time with a track while adjusting swing or the repeat divisions in real time. The sixty-four velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads are made by Akai Professional, and allow for adjusting sounds and kits while playing with eight touch-sensitive endless encoders. With control of melody and harmony, beats, sounds, and song structure, the controller puts the fundamental elements of music making at your fingertips. When hooked up to a computer running the software, Push becomes in effect a recording workstation, beat creation tool and virtual instrument.


Push from Ableton is a USB controller for use with the company's Live software.
