Push 2.2 with Live 12.2

June 11, 2025

New Features and Improvements

Follow Actions

You can now use Follow Actions on Push to structure and perform Sets, or explore more flexible ways of sequencing clips and scenes.

Enabling Follow Actions

To turn on a clip Follow Action in Session Pad Mode, hold the Play button and press a clip’s pad. To turn on a scene Follow Action, hold the Play button and press a Scene button. You can also hold the Play button and press a track button to toggle Follow Actions for all clips in the track, or press the Main button to toggle Follow Actions for all scenes. Enabling Follow Actions for all scenes lets you quickly go from looping scenes to playing them in a sequence, which makes it easy to create song structures or launch a prepared sequence for a performance.

Editing Follow Actions

By default, Follow Actions are set up to play the clip or scene below them after they finish playing once, but you can change this behavior in the Clip View. To edit clip Follow Actions, press the upper display button above the clip name to view the clip editing menu, then press the Follow Actions lower display button to view the Follow Actions menu. To edit scene Follow Actions, press the Main button while in the Clip View, which will open the scene editing menu.

You can edit Follow Actions for different clips or scenes by holding the Select button and pressing clip pads or Scene buttons.

Follow Actions Options

The clip or scene editing menu includes the option to turn Follow Actions on or off, as an alternative to using the Play button.

The Follow Action length is set to Linked by default, and the Multiplier value determines how many times the clip will play before triggering the next Follow Action. Use the upper display button to unlink the Follow Action and set the action time in bars. Action times for Scene Follow Actions can be linked to the length of the longest clip in a scene. Adjust the Multiplier value to choose how many times the longest clip will loop before the Follow Action is triggered.

Actions A and B determine which type of Follow Action is triggered after the current clip or scene finishes playing. Press the A/B upper display button to switch between Action A and B, then use the encoder above the button to select a specific action. The Chance slider sets the probability (as a percentage) of either Follow Action being triggered. For example, if a clip or scene has Chance A set to 90 and Chance B set to 10, Action B will be triggered approximately once every ten times the clip or scene is launched.

Expressive 16 Pitches

A new 16 Pitches layout has been added, which you can use to play samples melodically in Drum Racks and in Simpler’s Slicing playback mode.

To access the layout, load a Drum Rack or Simpler, then press the Layout button until you reach the 16 Pitches option.

The pitches in the layout follow the Set’s key and scale settings, or a loaded tuning system if one is in use. You can play and record the pads in the layout and use them to sequence notes at different pitches in the step sequencer.

To change the layout’s octave range, press the Octave Up or Octave Down buttons. You can use the touch strip to navigate to different pads in the Drum Rack.

Note that for Drum Racks, the instrument on a drum pad’s device chain must be set up to receive MPE pitch bend to work correctly with the layout.

Bounce Tracks to Audio

Two options for bouncing tracks have been added: Bounce Track in Place and Bounce to New Track.

You can bounce the audio of a clip to a new track via the clip context menu. To do so, hold Shift and press a clip pad, then press the Bounce Clip lower display button. The track containing the bounced clip will be automatically selected.

Bounce in Place

To bounce the audio of a track in place, hold Shift and press a track button to access the track’s context menu, then press the Bounce lower display button.

Groove Pool

You can now access the Groove Pool directly from Push. This lets you add, swap, and edit all of your grooves, giving you full control over the timing of a Set. Note that you can save all of the settings from the Groove Pool into Templates or the Default Set for easy access. 

To access the Groove Pool, select a clip and open the Clip View, then press the upper display button above the Groove selector. Press the Add button in the Groove Pool to add a groove, or use the Swap button to change the currently loaded groove to a different one. Press the Remove button to remove the selected Groove from the pool.

Editing Grooves

In the Groove Pool, select the groove you want to edit. You can then use the encoders and buttons to adjust the groove’s settings. The Global Amount can be used to change the amount of groove access the entire Set. Press the Save As upper display button to save the selected groove and its configuration to the User Library.

Auto Add

You can automatically add grooves to MIDI clips as they are created. To do so, press the Auto Add upper display button in the groove editing menu. Note that Auto Add can only be enabled on one groove.

Load Tuning Systems

You can now load an alternate tuning system directly from Push.

To load a tuning system, press the Scale button and then the + Tuning upper display button. Then, use the jog wheel or encoders to browse and load one of the tuning systems. Once loaded, you will see a panel on the right with information about the active tuning system. You can use the encoders above the info panel to scroll the text. The Scales menu is automatically updated to reflect any changes to the keys and scales that are contained in the active tuning system.

If you would like to restore Push to the default tuning, press the Reset button using the lower display button below the tuning info panel.

Expressive Chords

Expressive Chords is a new Max for Live device that lets you play chords from a predefined chord set using a single finger. Fully integrated with Push, it’s available as a Pack included with Live Intro, Standard, and Suite.

You can change chord sets by either loading a preset or by importing a MIDI clip. When playing back a chord, you can use a number of parameters to transform the dynamics, shape, and timing of the chord’s voices in real time.

When Expressive Chords is selected, Push’s pad layout changes as follows:

• The first two rows of pads can be used to pick one of the available articulations.

• The remaining pads light up to indicate the location of available chords, just as in Live.

• MPE data is passed through a chord, but can also be used to modulate any of Expressive Chords' parameters, such as Slide and Note PB.

Scene Improvements

Scene Tempo and Time Signature

You can now adjust the tempo or time signature for the selected scene. To do so, open the Clip View, and then press the Main button to open the scene editing menu.

Scene Names and Colors

You can now access the scene context menu to rename scenes as well as assign scene colors that will be used as the Scene buttons' colors instead of the default white.

To access the scene context menu in Session Pad Mode, hold Shift and press a scene button. You will have the option to rename a scene by pressing the Rename lower display button or to choose a scene color on the pads. Note that the selected scene’s color is brighter than the colors of the other scenes, to help with orientation in the Set.

You can access the screen context menu in Session Screen Mode as well, by holding Shift and pressing the jog wheel.

Device Updates

• External Audio Effect’s routing and parameters are now fully accessible on Push. The effect makes it possible to use hardware audio effects in any track’s device chain.

• The updated Auto Filter now displays LFO and Envelope modulation on Push.

• Added sidechain routing and filter to Auto Filter’s parameter banks.

Push 2.1 with Live 12.1

October 8, 2024

New Features and Improvements

Macro Mapping

Group Devices: Hold Shift and press the upper display button above a device to show the context menu, then press Group to group the device into a Rack. This creates the ability to map macros. If you want to group multiple devices at once, toggle the devices that you want to group using the upper display buttons in the context menu, then press Group.

Macro Map Parameters: You can touch any mappable encoder and a Map to Macro option will appear above the bottom right display button. Follow the instructions on the screen to choose the macro's destination.

Map Device Mutes and Button-Based Parameters: You can also map Device Mutes or button-based parameters by holding the display button above the item and pressing Map to Macro.

Edit Macros: To edit a macro, touch the macro's encoder and an Edit option will appear below the upper right display button. Press Edit to show the Edit screen. Select the macro you want to edit with the first encoder, and use the rest of the controls to adjust the mappings and ranges associated with that macro.

Macro Variations

Trigger, Create, and Randomize (P3 only): Macro Variations are now displayed on the Macro Screen in the bottom left. Use the jog wheel to Add a Variation, Randomize your macros, and trigger specific Macro Variations.

Edit Variations (Currently P3 Only): Highlight the variation you want to edit and nudge the jog wheel to the right to delete, rename, or overwrite the variation.

Play Variations on the Pads (P2 & P3): Use the Layout button to access new pad modes that allow you to trigger variations using the pads while you play.

Apply Grooves Instantly

A default groove is now loaded with the default Live Set that is automatically applied to any new MIDI clip. By default, the Global Groove Amount is set to 0%, so all you need to do to apply the groove is adjust this value.

Press the Timing encoder on Push 3 to select Global Groove Amount. Turn the encoder to change how much groove is added to your MIDI clips without any additional setup.

In Clip Mode, use the encoders to change which groove is applied to the clip. You can select None if you do not want to apply any groove.

In the Groove Pool, there is now a control that allows you to select which groove you would like to automatically load for new MIDI clips. You can also use this control to choose no grooves to be loaded. The state of this control and the Global Groove Amount are saved with your Sets, templates, and the default Set, so you can customize the defaults however you prefer.

Move Tracks and Scenes

As with devices, press and hold a track or scene and then use the jog wheel (or the encoders on Push 2) to move the item. Moving scenes is a great way to get organized, or create a song structure. Now that you can move tracks by pressing and holding, you can arm tracks by quickly double pressing the track select buttons.

Browsing Improvements

Filters: The browser now supports filtering and tagging.

Auto Tagging: As with Live 12.1, Push in Standalone Mode will automatically tag your user samples so you can easily include them when filtering content.

User Labels: You can now add your own user labels. You can also highlight a User Label, and then use the context menu to rename it. 

Rename Collections: Highlight a Collection, and use the context menu to rename it. 

Swap the Sample Inside of a Simpler: Select a Simpler device and press the swap button. In the bottom left of the browser there is a toggle switch that allows you to change where you want to hot-swap the device you’ve selected, or the sample inside of it. Swapping the sample allows you to retain the device and macro mapping settings.

Save Default Sets or Templates: In the Sets menu, press Current Set using the upper display buttons to show a new list of options similar to what you would find in the File menu on a computer. This menu includes new actions to save your current Set as the default Set or as a template Set.

Set Template as Default: Navigate to the Templates label in the Sets menu, then highlight a template and use the context menu to save it as the default Set.

Transfer Files and Use Link Anywhere With Push Hotspot  (Push 3 Standalone Only)

Create a Wi-Fi network from Push and use it to connect to your other devices. This is ideal for when you are traveling or at a venue and need to transfer files, or if you want a stable Link hub.

The Wi-Fi control has been moved to the Status tab in the Setup menu. First, turn on Wi-Fi using the dedicated upper display button, then turn on Hotspot. Push will create a network name and generate a password. On the device you want to connect to, select Push's Hotspot as the network and enter the password. Once connected, you will be able to use Link and transfer files.

Note: When you connect a device to Push's Hotspot, you will not be able to use the internet on the device. 

Preferences Tab

A new Preferences tab has been added to the Setup menu that contains the following options:

• Exclusive Solo: Choose to solo one or more tracks at a time by default.

New features and improvements:

• Push now supports the Tuning Systems feature introduced with Live 12:
  •  When a tuning system is loaded in Live, Push’s pads and interface will update to reflect the change:
    • When using no tuning system or a tuning system with twelve notes with identical intervals between adjacent notes (equal temperament), the full Scales menu is available.
    • When using a tuning system with twelve notes with differing intervals between adjacent notes (non-equal temperament), the root note selector is not available in the Scales menu.
    • When using a tuning system that is not built with twelve notes, the Scales menu is displayed in the same way as before for all tuning systems: with one list for configuring the interval between rows in semitones. 
  • The Layout button has more options to help suit the different needs of different systems. Use the button to change the number of semitones each row is offset from the one below it. For example, if Layout is set to 5st the first pad will be pitch 1, then the pad above it will be pitch 6, and the pad above that will be pitch 11, and so on.
  • In Melodic mode, Push's pads will display the root note of the system in the track color, and all other notes of the system in white.
  • The sequencers update to indicate the correct pitches in the normal levels of white.
  • Note names in Push’s Clip View will be updated to reflect whatever notes are used in a loaded tuning system.
  • When Push 3 is set to MPE Expression Mode and Note Pitch Bend is set to Automatic, pitch bend will be disabled if a tuning system is enabled in Live.

Note: You cannot load or change a tuning system on Push in Standalone Mode at the moment. To use a tuning system in Standalone Mode, save a Set with the tuning system loaded in Live 12 on your computer and transfer the Set to Push.  When you open that Set in Standalone Mode, Push will adapt to the tuning system saved with the Set.

• Note name notifications now take per-clip tonal spelling and scale settings into account.
• Push now features updated user interfaces for Meld and Roar, the new devices introduced in Live 12.
• New parameter banks for CC Control have been added.
• The Scale, Chord, Random and Arpeggiator device parameter banks have been updated.
• The Scale parameter in the Random device has been renamed to Interval to match the updated device UI.
• Changing probability values of grouped notes from Push will affect all notes in that group and the grouped value in Live.
• The Load Previous and Load Next actions are now assigned to the lower display buttons instead of the upper display buttons.
• The Preview button and text now change color depending on whether Preview is active or not.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed the following issues with Roar on Push:

  • Inactive parameters can no longer be added to Roar’s Modulation Matrix.
  • The Filter Frequency in the Main bank now reflects the current stage selection.
