![]() MIDI in and out is available on minijacks. Whether you buy the standalone or controller configuration, Push now finally has some I/O onboard apart from just USB and pedals.Īnalog audio is two in, two out on 6.35mm (1/4″) jack plugs.īut there’s also ADAT I/O, which gives you multichannel digital audio – ideal for use with digital mixers and other gear. There’s no statement about that yet, but Ableton is presenting the new Push as something of a new platform – even to the point of calling it just “Push” and not, as Live users anticipated, “Push 3.” What’s new on the hardwareįinally, audio and MIDI – and CV. It’s conceivable that Ableton could eventually open up the hardware to third-party Max or plug-in developers. But the new Push is based on Linux with onboard Intel i3 hardware. ![]() What won’t work, of course, is third-party plug-ins – at least not yet. For now, compatibility is incomplete even with the Max for Live devices included in Ableton Live Suite, but support is coming – more on that in detail separately. Even Ableton and third-party Max for Live devices should eventually run on Push in standalone mode. (Continuity only works over wifi and only with the Push in standalone mode – not over USB-C, due to technical limitations of the hardware.)Ĭompatibility. Ableton calls this Continuity mode, and it makes it a breeze to prep a set on your computer and move it over to the standalone hardware – or take a live jam you made on the hardware and bring it over to your computer to finish. Push shows up directly in the Browser – alongside Cloud, where sessions from Ableton’s iPhone app appear. You can also drag samples and Sets to and from any new Push hardware on a wifi network. It also means the promise of upgrading Push to faster hardware down the road.Ĭontinuity. That means if you buy the controller now, you can add standalone operation later – essential for those on a budget or just wanting to see how invested they are in the hardware’s workflows. Crucially, though, the guts are upgradeable. Push will come in two variations, one with standalone operation and one configured like its predecessors as a controller. You can use Live’s internal Instruments, Audio Effects, and MIDI Effects, edit Clips and work with the Browser and Session View, all without a computer. First, the big banner feature: Ableton Push now has the ability to run without a connected computer. CDM has talked to Ableton and tested the gear with prerelease software. The layout and functionality are familiar, but there’s new hardware including new pads, MPE support, and audio + CV + MIDI connectivity, plus standalone operation and upgradeability. Ableton today introduced their long-awaited third-generation Push hardware. ![]()
