Description

This is a Limited Cyber Monday offer. Get a FREE Upgrade to Live 9 included with the purchase of PUSH - a $399 value!! While supplies last.

With hands-on control of melody and harmony, beats, sounds, and song structure, Push puts the fundamental elements of music making at your fingertips - and it fits in a backpack alongside your laptop. 64 pads give you multiple ways to make beats. Play, step sequence, and navigate your loop - all at the same time.
Move between keys at the touch of a button. Explore new harmonies and phrases across 64 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads.

Packed with sounds.
Make music with a studio full of instruments and effects. Control them all with Push. Push uses the power of Ableton Live running on your computer. Live provides Push with a comprehensive collection of instruments and effects. All of your sounds are ready to be played, tweaked, and personalized. Fine-tune parameters in your instruments and effects using Pushs touch-sensitive encoders and see everything from Pushs display.

Improvise and play with song structure.
Capture all of your musical ideas. Duplicate and create variations. Trigger, re-arrange, and create new combinations. Capture everything you play with Pushs unique recording workflow. Overdub new notes or create variations of phrases, moving quickly between your song materials with just a few buttons. After youve created ideas, switch to another mode to try them out in various combinations. When youre ready to get into arranging, detailed editing, and exporting your finished song, switch from Push to your computer to find your music already laid out in Ableton Live - the software that was powering your work the whole time. Push gives you the best of both worlds for making music: inspiring hardware for hands-on control at the beginning, and full-featured music creation software for fine-tuning the details at the end.

Designed by Ableton. Engineered by Akai Professional.
Push takes full advantage of Akai Professional's decades of experience building pad controllers for performers and producers. Pushs pads are engineered to offer both extreme sensitivity for nuanced playing of instruments and a deep, solid feel for beatmaking.

If youre familiar with Live, Push complements what you already know.
Live runs in the background, filling your Set with clips and scenes as you create with Push. You can switch between Push and Live when youre ready to finalize your song, and youll find all of your song materials ready for you in Lives Session View. Push is also the ultimate performance controller, with pads that can be instantly repurposed into a clip launching grid. And Lives tight integration with Max for Live lets you customize Push for your own working style, or reprogram it to add new features and workflows.
