Push 2

Ideas that start on a laptop often get stuck there; this controller is built to pull them out of the screen and into your hands. Designed as a dedicated instrument for Ableton Live, Ableton Push 2 lets you create and perform using pads, encoders and a high‑resolution color display instead of a mouse and keyboard.

At the heart of Push 2 is an 8x8 grid of 64 velocity‑ and pressure‑sensitive RGB pads that handle everything from drum programming to expressive melodic playing and step sequencing. The large multicolor LCD adapts as you work, mirroring your instruments, devices and mixer in Live so you can browse sounds, shape parameters, chop samples and arrange clips without breaking focus. Around the display, touch‑sensitive rotary encoders, a responsive touch strip and dedicated workflow buttons keep key functions under your fingertips, making it easy to flip between playing, sequencing and clip launching in the studio or on stage.

Built as a USB controller, Push 2 integrates tightly with Live while staying compact and portable on the desktop. Two pedal inputs allow you to add sustain or expression control, and its solid, anodized aluminum top plate and substantial weight give it the feel of a true performance instrument, even though it relies on your computer for sound. For producers and performers working in Ableton Live, it turns the software into something you can physically play.
