You’ll also find ⅛” MIDI in and out ports. There’s also a USB-A port for connecting class compliant MIDI controllers, so if pads aren’t your thing you can connect a keyboard, or play one instrument with the keyboard while knocking out drum tracks on the Push directly. But those pedal jacks can also send CV now, so you can control modular gear. There’s USB-C for connecting to a computer to control Live, a 12v DC connector, and two jacks for connecting sustain pedals just like on a Push 2. Which you should probably do anyway to tweak the responsiveness to your liking since MPE can be fickle and unforgiving at times.Īround back you’ll notice you’ll find a bunch of new connections too. But that can easily be fixed by going into the settings. I think I still have a slight preference for the feel of an MPC’s larger pads but, those aren’t MPE capable so, Ableton wins? My only complaint about the hardware really is that the pads might be too sensitive. They’re the first I’ve encountered that truly give Akai’s a run for their money. (Another fun feature Push borrows from Tracker is auto generated project names, which comes in handy.) And the pads. It’s reminiscent of the one on Polyend’s Tracker, but more noticeable detents. One of the new additions to the controls is a large jog wheel to the right of the screen that is a delight. The knobs, buttons and pads all feel great. There’s no unnecessary graphics or anything, just clean lines and text. The UI itself is simple and intuitive but attractive. It refreshes fast enough that you actually watch your MIDI notes scroll by in real time as you record them. It’s a large, reasonably high-resolution LCD with excellent viewing angles. ![]() The screen appears to be exactly the same. They’re both hulking black slabs that seem like they were ripped out of the control panel of an alien spaceship. Physically the new Push and the Push 2 are very similar.
