The Ableton Push is one of the most unique and revolutionary tools made for creating modern electronic music. Featuring 64 velocity- and aftertouch-sensitive pads assignable to samples in Ableton Live, Push is a controller capable of arranging and editing songs and beats on the fly. Its on-board encoders and touchstrip can control different parameters of the sound, and its various buttons allow for easy navigation and composition. Paired with a laptop, Ableton Live, and some imagination, Push shatters preconceptions of how to make music.
