Ableton Push 2 Script and App in development

I’m in the process of creating an Ableton Push 2 script. The only way I’ve figured out to create this requires additional MIDI and interface processing outside of Steinberg’s software. So unfortunately it’s not as simple as just a script (I think). I actually have not looked into the MIDI Remote API yet. Maybe writing Javascript is a reasonable approach. I will need to research that later.

However, if you’re familiar with Shove, I’m creating something similar to that BUT I don’t have any updates on distribution yet. There are some license issues I’ll need to research.

Just wanted to share that we may soon have actual, thorough Push 2 control.

Any news on the Push2 topic?

I’ve created a bespoke solution that works pretty well. However, based on my additional research, it will take some more time to create a solution can distribute effectively. Right now it’s quirky but still works.

That sounds excellent. Is there a possibility to test some kind of beta? I have some experience in beta testing for some plugin developers.

Yes but also there’s a chance to try this alpha version. Do you own Max/MSP?

This is a wonderful news. I really hope you make it. I’ve been waiting for this moment for an exceptionally long time. Best luck.

Yes. I made some progress. Right now I’m stuck on optimizing the grid. Basically there are so many ways to address that. People sometimes what chromatic keys. Sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they want different scales.

Perhaps you can offer some insight.

  • How do you prefer to use the grid on the Push 2?
  • Would you be interested in a script that only works with the non-Note buttons? That’s what I’ve setup so far.

i prefer to use the grid in exactly the same way it is used in Shove.

EDIT nvm, i forgot to install loopmidi. shoves working now thank goodness. very interested in your software though.

I am considering selling my Push 2.

Should I or should wait a bit longer ?

Thank you

Hi,

You can build an executable file from MAX/MSP for Mac and Windows.
