It’s great!
Great device, does exactly what it says it does. Fantastic work.
I’d absolutely love an extension to it which enabled both track mutes and solos to be triggered by pads, as on the NI Maschine.
Don’t like the button mutes on the Push, not good for quick performance.
And maybe other performance based actions on the pads, there are a lot of them on the Push, top four rows could be a layout for say beat repeats or other things. Like the Polyend Play performance mode.
Does exactly what it says it does.

Really amazing device! Probably the most fun, dynamic & streamlined workflow I've ever had playing with my Push. Was having an issue with my Push2 not recognizing the the max device which looked to be hardware specific. Darren contacted me right away & offered me some solutions which seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks man, appreciate the help & great job on the device guys!

Push: Mute Mode by Isotonik Studios & Push Patterns
Overview & Inspiration
Push Mute Mode was born from a simple frustration: why isn’t there a better way to mute Drum Rack pads on Push? If you’ve ever used an Elektron Rytm or MPC, you’ll know how vital pad muting is for dynamic performance. Craig Lowe of Push Patterns felt the gap and teamed up with Isotonik Studios to bring that missing feature to Push 3 — and the result is a MaxforLive utility that turns your Push into a muting powerhouse.
Push Mute Mode – How It Works
Drop Push Mute Mode on a MIDI track with a Drum Rack, and your Push interface transforms into Mute Mode:
- Green = playing
- Grey = muted
- Blue = selected for mute/unmute
Switch between Momentary (hold Shift) or Latch (toggle Shift) modes to suit your performance style. Use the Select button to mute/unmute multiple pads at once, or save your mute setups to the macro pads on the right for one-touch recall during a live set.
Smart Features for Performers
- Mute and unmute with tactile speed
- Retain mutes even after leaving Mute Mode
- Save favorite combinations across all 128 pads
- Instantly recall entire mute states with macro pads
- Pair with a “Master On” snapshot for full control
- Compatible With Push 3 Standalone
- Push Mute Mode works flawlessly on Push 3 in both controller and standalone modes — just transfer the .amxd file to your device and go.

Important Information
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – August 2025
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.
