SESSION VIEW FOR THE PUSH 2 SCREEN
This device brings the session view display of the Push 2 feature of Live 12 to users of Live 10 & 11!
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, P2D Session2 + is built specifically for the Push 2 and uses its hi-res RGB display to show your session view. It will not function with Push 1 or other controllers.
The device renders an 8×8 clip matrix on the Push 2 display that mirrors your current clip launch grid, showing the name and playing status of each clip. The display updates in real time as you navigate around your set or add and remove clips.
P2D-Multi is a shared display system that allows multiple P2D devices to co-exist on the Push 2 screen without conflicting with one another. You can switch between devices either automatically or by manually selecting which one takes control of the display.
Yes, P2D Session2 + is a Max for Live device, so you will need Ableton Live Suite or a Max for Live licence add-on to use it.
Once purchased, you download the device and drag it onto a MIDI or audio track in Ableton Live just like any other Max for Live device. No additional software installation is required beyond having Max for Live available.
It is well suited to both contexts, but it particularly shines in live performance where keeping your eyes off the laptop screen is important. The real-time clip name and status updates on the Push 2 display give you a clear overview of your set without breaking your focus.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
