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.
- Select on Clip Launch:Choose whether or not you want Push to select the track of the clips that you launch automatically.
Other Improvements
Bugfixes
- When entering text on Push, pressing "Delete" while the cursor is at the beginning of the text will no longer insert characters at the end.
- Fixed a bug where a recording in progress could be unexpectedly stopped (and the track disarmed) when selecting a different track in Live with Push connected.
- When restarting Push in Standalone Mode the clock source setting will be the same as it was before the restart, provided a valid ADAT clock is being received by Push.

- When scrolling through a MIDI track's possible routings in certain setups.
- Fixed an issue where note name notifications in the melodic sequencer would not work.
- Push 2 firmware updates are now working correctly again.
- On Push 2 and 3, you can now add plug-ins when a MIDI track is selected, as expected.

Push 2.0.10 with Live 12.0.10

New features and improvements
Push 3 Standalone Mode Only

No Push exclusive changes.
Push 2.0 with Live 12.0.1
March 19, 2024
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.
