Ableton Push 3 is an expressive instrument for music production and performance.

Fluidly play melodies and create articulated beats on 64 MPE-enabled pads, and directly connect all the other gear that makes up your unique sound. 

Push lets you take detailed control of Live running on your computer, without having to look at your screen. And if you later decide that you’d like to use your Push as a standalone instrument, you can install a processor yourself using the Upgrade Kit which is available as a separate purchase

Expressiveness

Push’s 64 MPE-enabled pads detect finger pressure and placement across X and Y axes for nuanced per-note control. Feel your way around the pads to fluidly change your sound in multiple ways as you play.

Play bends and slides, add filters or effects to some notes in a chord, or play multiple instrumental articulations on a single pad. Finger drum with timbral variation akin to a natural drum head, whether you’re playing an acoustic drum sound or an electronic one.  

Connectivity

Plug external instruments, synths and effects straight into Push’s built-in audio interface to record directly into Ableton Live. The audio interface features two balanced inputs and two balanced outputs, plus a headphone out for main or cue output. With an ADAT extender, these can be increased to 10 inputs and 12 outputs.

To create a combined Eurorack/Push setup, use the footswitch jacks to send gate and CV signals to your modular gear. You can further extend your setup by connecting a class-compliant MIDI keyboard or controller to Push to play internal instruments, or send MIDI from Push to synths and other hardware.

Intuitive Design

Push’s navigation is designed to get out of your way so you can stay focused on creating. Smoothly source sounds and devices from your library, and edit MIDI quickly using the jog wheel. See your session at a glance and your devices in detail on the large LCD display.

Configurability

You can also buy your Push configured with a processor, to use as a standalone instrument. With its built-in processor, battery and storage, you can make music without plugging in a single cable using instruments and effects you know from Ableton Live, along with your own Packs and sample libraries. 

In its standalone configuration, Push also features WiFi connectivity. This means you can wirelessly download Packs, update firmware, sync with other hardware or software using Ableton Link, and transfer Sets back and forth between Push and Live. 

If you order your Push configured to connect to your computer, but later you want to use it as a standalone instrument, you can upgrade it yourself using the Upgrade Kit. Each Upgrade Kit contains a processor, hard drive, battery, heatsink and all the tools you need for assembly.

What's New in Live 12?

MIDI Transformations and Generators – Use MIDI Transformations to add ornaments and articulations, draw acceleration and deceleration curves, connect successive notes and chords, and simulate the strum of a guitar. And take advantage of MIDI Generators that let you conjure up playful and original ideas for you to develop and turn into your own.

MIDI Editor improvements – Use your keyboard and mouse to edit MIDI in new ways. Split a note in two, or chop it into several parts. Select a set of notes and join them together, or make them fill a selected time range. Get access to more tools from the Note Utilities panel, like Fit Scale, Humanize, Add Intervals, and more.

Keys and Scales – Transform or generate ideas within the confines of the selected scale, or sync the scale of MIDI devices to the clip being played.

Tuning Systems – Work outside 12-tone equal temperament, and use your chosen tuning with Live’s devices as well as any MPE-capable plugin or hardware.

Modulate more flexibly – Stay in control of a parameter even after it’s been mapped to a modulation source; Max for Live devices like LFO, Shaper and Envelope Follower now let you freely adjust a destination that’s being modulated.

Freeze and Flatten – Freeze and flatten a track in a single step using the Edit menu or the right-click context menu of a Track Title Bar.

Live 12 software included in this purchase will be available to download from your Ableton.com account after registering your Push serial number.
