General
Ableton's Push 2 controller for Live is the latest new toy for modern EDM producers. Playing with the Push 2 is fundamental to generating new musical creations, after all. Those who are already familiar with Push will immediately notice some subtle differences in the layout of the Push 2. As a result of user feedback, Ableton has improved the user experience with an elegant colour display, for starters. Additionally, the new softer, smoother, and more responsive RGB pads also enhance usability.
Included software for the Ableton Push 2
All you need to get started is a good computer or laptop (Windows or Mac OS X), because the Push 2 comes with a download license for Ableton Live 10 Intro. The Push 2 works seamlessly with this software package, and in no time, you'll be putting together superior EDM beats with the included samples, audio effects, and MIDI effects. So much is possible with this new Intro version of Ableton Live! If you want (a lot!) more effects and samples, you can always upgrade to the Standard or Suite version.
The success story of Ableton Live and Push
Ableton Live and the Push controller's popularity cannot be underestimated, what with so many avid Live-users. What used to be two very different worlds of hardware and software have now become one; in fact, modern hardware tends to adapt to the philosophy and work environment of software. This is just where the Push comes in, as it's a controller that integrates seamlessly with the popular Ableton Live software. You can use the Push to create complete songs effortlessly without even touching your computer's mouse. In essence, it offers you the hands-on controls of the 'good-ole days', but with the computer integration and possibilities of the 21st century.

Top aankoop, geen spijt van.
Mijn creativiteit heeft hierdoor een flinke boost gekregen!
Het duurt een tijdje voordat je de belangrijkste functies geleerd heb, maar als je dat eenmaal weet dan is Push 2 een heerlijke controller om mee te werken. Zeker ook omdat je devices en effecten kunt besturen/ aanpassen in Push 2 (met behulp van het scherpe kleurenscherm).
Push 2 is volledig afgestemd op Ableton Live, d.w.z. dat de controller minder geschikt is om andere DAW's mee aan te sturen (zover ik weet)..
De prijs is hoog, vergeleken met andere control-pads maar de mogelijkheden zijn eindeloos (met Live) en de kwaliteit van het apparaat is zeer goed. Het voelt zwaar en stevig aan en knoppen draaien met een licht verzet ( i.p.v. dat ze los aanvoelen).
Al met al een dikke aanrader voor creatieve geesten die Ableton Live gebruiken en zich willen focussen op het creatieve gedeelte van muziek maken en minder willen klikken in het programma terwijl ze kijken naar het scherm.
De constructie is erg stevig, maar de knobs en pads voelen zeer smooth aan, net zoals de ribbon controller. Het schermpje is zeer handing en een grote stap vooruit in vergelijking met de push1. Hoewel het een instrument is met zeer uitgebreide mogelijkheden (en navenante handleiding), is het toch vrij intuitief om er mee te werken. Ik heb een paar andere pad controllers geprobeerd, en hoewel de push wel veruit de duurste is, is die toch de meerprijs waard.
Eén bedenking wel: de push is niet happig om samen te werken met andere controllers. Ik heb wat moeten googlen om de juiste USB hub te vinden om de push te laten samen werken met de andere controllers.
Eerlijk is eerlijk, de eerste paar uur zal je waarschijnlijk even puzzelen waar alles zit. En op ableton.com vind je tal van tutorials over de mogelijkheden met deze controller. Daarna zal je er van staan te kijken hoe snel je door de software beweegt met Push 2 – zelfs als je Live al behoorlijk in de vingers hebt. Geen twijfel, gewoon doen!
Het mooie is dat Push je hiermee uitnodigt tot spelen. Waar je met alleen muis en toetsenbord doelgerichter te werk zult gaan, is het met Push ontzettend eenvoudig om te experimenteren – van nieuwe patronen op de pads tot een flinke zwieper aan één van de encoders om te zien wat het effect is.
Push 2 maakt Live echt leuker.
De buttons zijn zo gevoelig en dat kan je nog instellen ook. De graphics op het scherm voor effecten, midi enz. zijn echt knap. Dat de kleuren op de grid mee veranderen met de gekozen kleur van je track, spoor is echt wel een serieuze sprong vooruit.
Met Push 2 is de indeling van de knoppen ook wel verbeterd.
Echt een aanrader voor de hobby of semi-pro producer.
Wat ik wel aanraad is een stofkap of case te voorzien.
