Ableton PUSH Overview

Ableton Push is a hardware controller designed specifically for use with Ableton Live. It's intended to provide a hands-on, tactile way to create and perform music within the Ableton Live environment.

The Push controller features a grid of pads that can be used for playing notes, creating beats, and triggering samples. It also has various encoders, buttons, and a display that allow users to control various parameters within Ableton Live, such as adjusting levels, manipulating effects, launching clips, and arranging music.

It's highly integrated with Ableton Live, offering a seamless workflow for musicians and producers to compose, perform, and arrange music without relying solely on a computer mouse and keyboard. Push enables a more intuitive and expressive way to interact with the software, making it popular among electronic music producers and live performers.

This session is suitable both for PUSH 2 and PUSH 3. We'll cover all the music making and performance techniques this awesome device has to offer.
