Ableton signified their intent with the original Push, the release of Push Two took everyone by surprise!
As the Isotonik Collective contains a number of Crashologists (Abletons secret community of Alpha and beta testers) we got wind on the Ableton Push Two long before it was announced at the Loop Music Conference.
When we first opened the nondescript cardboard box it was delivered in we first searched for the AKAI logo, it was nowehere to be found, Ableton had gone it alone. The Push one was obviously popular enough to convince them that making their own hardware was the absolutely right direction to push the company forwards in. And they were right!
The main change was obvious, from the moment the controller was switched on the new full color screen was impressive!
The button layout had been re-configured, new lower profile switch buttons with a satisfying click to them to indicate interaction.
But it’s not just how it looked and felt, the integration was so much more. Have Ableton cracked it and created the ultimate Live controller?
The Arcade Series is a collection of MaxforLive Generative Sequencers that can be used on their own or integrated with Ableton Live supported controllers. Designed and created by Ableton Certified Trainer Mark Towers each device takes it’s inspiration from the hours spent in front of flickering screens down the local Arcade.
Original price was: £90.00.£80.00Current price is: £80.00.
The Arcade Series Returns concludes with Space Invaders, a rotating pulse generator designed specifically for triggering drum machines.
Independent patterns/rows of ‘Invaders’ are set up in the separate invader engines to the right. These patterns can be static or moving from left to right and have their own parameters which effect note generation.

The Arcade Series Returns is the follow up to the hugely successful MaxforLive Generative Sequencers the Arcade Series ONE. Designed by Ableton Certified trainer Mark Towers and inspired by classic retro Arcade Games each one can provide inspiration for rhythm or melody!
Frogger is an 8-step gate sequencer inspired by the classic video game and electronic gate sequencers. Via the mouse or control surface you set the pitch/octave for each step. When the sequence lands on the step the note is triggered. All pitch values conform to the globally selected scale with individual octave control per step.

When you want to know what you’re triggering without looking at the Laptop screen P2D-Session displays your current Live session state on the Push2 display.
P2D-Session is a Max for Live device that utilises the hi-res RGB display on Push 2 to provide you with an overview of where you are in the Live set.
An 8×8 matrix on the display will correspond to the clip launch buttons on the Push allowing you to see the name and playing status of each clip that you currently control. This matrix will update as you move around the set or perform additions/removals from your set.

The LaunchSync Series  began life over the coffee table in the office of Novation, the team there had an idea of syncing together their LaunchPad family with the forthcoming LaunchControl XL. As we developed the idea it became apparent that everyone has a different view of what made the perfect performance set up, whether it be an Ableton Push based one or revolve around an APC40MKII  the same things became clear!

Frame Lightshow Creator from Chaos Culture allows the user to quickly set up a Lightshow performance on a range of Grid Controllers like the Ableton PUSH ONE & TWO and the Novation LaunchPad MKI & MKII family!
