The heart of your setup

Built robustly for frequent travel between sessions and stages, and made to work with your trusty old gear and your newest toys, it’ll see you through many changes in setup, sound and scene.

One Push, two configurations
Set your Push up in a configuration that works for your budget and music-making needs. With a processor, battery and hard drive, Push functions as a standalone instrument. Without those components you need to connect Push to your computer to make music. You can add the standalone components later using the Upgrade Kit.
Upgrade Kit
If you’ve configured your Push to connect to your computer, but later you want to use it as a standalone instrument, you can easily upgrade it yourself using the Upgrade Kit. Each Upgrade Kit contains a processor, hard drive, battery, heatsink and all the tools you need for assembly.
Upgrade Kits cost USD 1049.00.
