Standalone
Capture the pluck of a guitar string, an improvised vocal or a few seconds from a vinyl track, map it to Push’s pads, and create something completely new.
Shape sounds with pads that respond to the slightest movement of your fingers. Shift between different tones and articulations within a single pad or across the entire grid.
Plug your instruments into Push’s built-in audio interface to record straight into your Set. Send CV and gate signals to modular gear, and connect any MIDI instrument or effect.
Finesse your sound with tactile encoders auto-mapped to device parameters. Adjust levels and balance to glue the mix together.
Push invites you to disconnect from your computer and be fully in the moment with your music. When you’re ready, continue in Live with the same feel and sound.
Branko brings Push 3 standalone into a performance break within his show.
The setup stays simple and self-contained, so he can launch clips and scenes, leave space to play parts live, and reshape arrangements on the fly. When the energy shifts, he carries Push into the crowd and keeps it moving.
For live shows, Korea Town Acid builds her set around Push 3, connected to a small modular rig and a mixer. She triggers samples, chords, and percussive textures, sends clock to the modular, and shifts from ambient passages to broken beat and jungle with space for improvisation.
Nørbak performs improvised techno with Push 3 in standalone mode, paired with two controllers for levels and effects and another for hands-on synth shaping.
He launches drums and textures from clips, while Operator and Wavetable run from the shapeshifting Max for Live sequencer MDD SnAkE for fluid, real-time modulation.
Northlane use Push 3 standalone on stage, sending its output straight to the mixer. Each song is mapped across the 64-pad grid, with pad colors helping map out the shapes they play. They rebuild riffs and electronic parts live, shape macros on each track, and use the MPE pads to play their synths.
On stage, Kae Tempest’s spoken-word presence meets Pops Roberts’ synth-led setup, with Push 3 at the center. Linked through an audio interface to two laptops running Live, Push launches scenes, shapes dub-style effects, launches clips, switches patches, and sends cues to the lighting team.
For their live modular setup, The Glitch Mob run Push 3 as the clock and audio hub, sending signals to both Eurorack cases and out to a DJ mixer. Push sets the timing, feeds the racks, and keeps the duo’s system simple, tight, and ready for real-time shaping.
