Description

Push invites you to disconnect and be fully in the moment with your music. Sculpt your sound. Play in a style that’s recognizably yours. An upgradeable instrument and an ever-evolving bond with Ableton Live, Push is designed to sit at the heart of your setup for years to come. Shape your sound with pads that respond to the slightest movement of your fingers. Bend, slide and shift between different notes, sounds and articulations. Plug your instruments into Push’s own audio interface to record straight into your set. Plus, send CV and gate signals to your modular setup. Push’s 64 XY-sensitive pads respond to the subtlest shifts in finger placement and pressure. Feel your way around the pads to fluidly change your sound in multiple ways as you play. Each pad features multiple articulations and timbres of a percussive element depending on where and how they touch the pad. Finger drum with timbral variation akin to a natural drum head, whether you’re playing an acoustic drum sound or an electronic one. Or play different percussion articulations within a pad – hits and rolls, open and closed hi-hats, sticks and brushes. Paint your playing with precise color by adding tremolo or wah-wah to just some notes of a chord. Filter sounds with your fingers. Create your own instrumental hybrids and fluidly morph between completely different sounds. Play your way through a library of nuanced sounds designed to make full use of Push’s expressive pad movements. Work with multi-articulated acoustic instruments and ensembles, take tactile control of all manner of synthesized sounds, and create shifting choral clouds with the exclusive Expressive Choir Pack by Spitfire Audio.
