Step away from the mouse and let your tracks take shape directly under your fingertips. Push turns Ableton Live into a tactile instrument, so you can sketch ideas, play melodies, and build full arrangements while barely glancing at your screen.
Designed around a responsive 8x8 pad grid, the original Push gives you velocity and pressure-sensitive pads that adapt to drum programming, step sequencing, and harmonic playing with scale and key modes. An LCD display keeps track names, device parameters, and clip information in view, while 11 touch-sensitive endless encoders, a touch strip, and dedicated transport and mode buttons let you browse sounds, tweak instruments and effects, and control your session in real time. Deep integration with Live means Push’s controls automatically map to what you’re working on, whether you are launching clips, adjusting mixer levels, or shaping a synth patch.
Built as a desktop controller with USB and MIDI connectivity, Push remains a focused hub for creating and performing in Ableton Live. Its solid chassis, clear layout, and hardware clip and note workflows make it a reliable centerpiece for studios and stages that still prefer the immediacy of hands-on control over menu diving.
