Users can now slice samples across the keyboard, play one shots, or warp longer samples even if they haven’t acquired the Push 2. As we noted above, the way Ableton’s Simpler sampling instrument has been improved significantly with a completely redesigned interface that introduces warping and slicing capabilities and new-analog-modeled filters. The new version of Ableton will primarily be to integrate support for the Push 2 instrument, but there are a few feature additions as well. This mode goes beyond finger drumming by allowing the user to also transpose a playing sample live, without having to retrigger it thus allowing the transformation of melodic phrases into completely new melodies.
Users will find that new Push pads to be softer, smoother, and more responsive when playing live.Īdditionally there’s now VST and AU support on the Push 2 – allowing tweaking of all of the virtual instruments you might have collected on your own. Ableton carefully redesigned the pads to feel normal and intuitive to musicians. The screen displays library navigation, sample waveforms, effects parameters, and mixer levels which can be tweaked using the touch-sensitive encoders above each screen panel. Push 2 also offers sampling workflows across the redesigned pads which allow users to create looping instruments, chop up samples, or play longer, melodic samples all within the pads. The biggest hardware improvement is the large, color LCD screen to show users what is going on within the hardware without having to bury their face into a laptop.
Push 2 sets to improve upon the foundation of the original Push by offering a new level of playability.
