The Ableton Push 2 delivers an immersive, hands-on music-making experience, designed and engineered entirely by Ableton. Its smooth, velocity-sensitive pads and vibrant multi-colour display offer seamless integration with Ableton Live software, allowing you to create beats, play melodies and chords, manipulate samples, and structure songs—all without needing to look at your computer screen.
Main Features
- Expressive Beat Making: Access Live’s extensive drum library or load your own sounds. Perform with 64 velocity-sensitive pads and fine-tune kits and sounds on the fly using eight touch-sensitive, endless encoders. Switch to 16-pad mode for real-time play, step sequencing, and loop length adjustments simultaneously.
- Melody and Harmony: Play notes and chords with pitch-sensitive pads arranged for effortless fingering in any key. Select your key and scale with a button, and use the responsive touchstrip for pitch bends or modulation.
- Flexible Step Sequencing: Enter notes and chords step-by-step, adjusting timing, length, velocity, or creating variations. Sequence automation for rhythmic parameter changes is also supported.
- Advanced Sample Control: Three sample workflows offer versatility:
- Slicing mode lets you chop long samples into playable pads, perfect for live remixes.
- Classic mode transforms melodic samples into pitched instruments with adjustable ADSR envelopes.
- One Shot mode enables monophonic playback for samples, ideal for drum hits with seamless transposition.
- Premium Build and Intuitive Interface: The anodised aluminium shell houses redesigned soft silicone pads that respond fluidly at any velocity. The sharp, bright RGB display adapts to your workflow, keeping you focused and inspired.
- Seamless Live Integration: Launch clips and scenes, control mixer levels, device parameters, and sends with ease. Your performance is automatically captured and ready to be refined in Live’s software environment.
