Product Review
I'm almost 60 and have been a guitar player most of my life. I dabbled in synths in the 80's and have always had a soft spot for electronic music. After I got the hang of Ableton I wanted to get a control surface for it, and this was a no brainer. You can do just about everything on the board without touching the PC. Only downside (besides $$$) is that any third party plugins you use have to be edited on the PC. Not a deal breaker and it makes sense why it is what it is, just something to point out. Also highly recommend a dust cover. The pads can stick with the slightest bit of dust. Kind of a pain and a design miss IMHO when I can beat the crap out of other pad controllers and leave them out in my cat hair laden abode with no issues. But other that those 2 minor things this is a great controller and a lot of fun to use.

Best Ableton Controller

I purchased Ableton 11 a few months ago, but this Push was my best purchase. I didn't realize how seemless Ableton and MPC works so I was blown away when using my MPC Live in Standalone mode with Ableton. The Push and the Live together are a creative "Monster". They allow you no computer necessary mentality and you can really get some serious music down. I wouldn't trade nothing for the Push, hands down it almost equates my Live, if only Push was standalone.

IF you are an Ableton Live user, the Push controller is a must! I had the original Push and was excited about moving to the Push2. The integration between the hw/sw is as fluid as anything on the market. Honestly, there is a bit of a learning curve, but once you understand the layout and concepts, it's a no brainer. Especially if you are already a seasoned Live user. The 64 pad layout is a bit of a mixed blessing. It allows you to have a lot of functionality at your fingertips, but the pads are a bit small if you are accustomed to the MPC style layout.

Great controller paired with Ableton Live Suite

Product Review
The updated version of this controller is great. The integration is automatic and it doesn't take long to get the basics down. The pads are really outstanding for polyphonic expression capable sounds and can bring out ideas that normal keyboard doesn't. I find my hands just fall into certain patterns when I'm using a normal MIDI keyboard and using the Push 2 pads breaks me of those habits and leads to some good sounding accidents.
The only improvement I wish Ableton could make would be deeper integration with 3rd party VST instruments like Omnisphere. It works great as a controller for those plug ins but you do have to go back to the computer keyboard and mouse to navigate sounds. There are some 3rd party add-ons that try to bring the Omnisphere library into the Ableton browser so it will work with Push, but I've found them a little hard to deal with.

Quality of the build for the Push 2 is only match buy the Akai Force. Which are totally awesome together by the way. My drums are a 1000% better because of the step sequencer on the push. Quantize right from the push 2 with no need to touch your com mouse or key board, which sppeds up work flow. Note repeat buttom makes hi-hat production super easy. Also with the live 11 update mpe is possible with the push. Out of all my gear the push is slighty under the Akai force because of standalone cap. But also a better buy then the maschine plus and the mpc live 2. Team ableton forever.

Product Review
I use Ableton to produce and I never knew I needed this piece of gear! I've seen countless videos about the Push 2 and always thought it looked cool but never knew how useful it actually is. When you use a mouse and keyboard all the time you create music one way, when you use hardware like a Push 2 you create music in a much different way! This thing changed the way I write melodies immediately because of the scale options that are on board as well as having 64 pads rather than a keyboard. Playing with stock Ableton plugins and tweaking filter cut offs, attack, delay etc has never been easier or more at my fingertips! I have been a DJ for 20+ years and I recently switched to using Ableton to perform. The Push 2 blows all the hardware I've used to control Ableton out of the water. I clip launch and finger drum for all my sets and I can say easily that the Push 2 is hands down the best and only piece of gear you will ever need to DJ or produce with Ableton. It's a great centerpiece for your set up and if it's all you have you won't feel shorted. It does everything you'd need and then some and is really well built. The quality is next level and worth every penny.

Recently got back into music since all that has been going on. I was skeptical because it has been years since I owned anything. The last thing I owned was in the 90s an Ensoniq Asr 10. I'm satisfied with my purchase as I know with technology today it will take some time to learn everything. I call AMS with an issue thinking something was wrong with my equipment and found the person on the other end of my phone was very knowledgeable. He knew without putting me on hold what to do. I also was gonna make an additional purchase for a midi keyboard. I was again impressed with the knowledge the person had on the other end of my phone. I will recommend this site and oh yeah...delivery time was unreal a couple days at most. So again I'm glad I came across AMS and I'm enjoying my equipment and Im contemplating buying some DJ equipment now.

I'm honestly blown away. Solid construction and incredible integration. Both Session and Arrangement view can have selected track's clip/device view manipulated and it does WONDERS for your workflow. I'm not using it for performing yet, but busting out ideas in scale, looping, wave manipulation... all on the fly. Basically don't need a mouse if you have everything inside Ableton Live!
Some of the rotaries felt a bit loose upon arrival, but I read that there was a break-in period for some of them apparently. That rang true in my case. About 3 months in and everything's evened out.
Amazing purchase! 11/10

this unit basically takes the internal workings of Ableton Live software and places it in front of you in a controller that lets you work with a software in incredible ways.
Record vocal samples in real time and instantaneously alter them.
Use the 64 pads as a keyboard in specific tunings or in a chromatic tuning.
Move between individual tracks and full mix easily.

Push 2 vs. MPC X - A Producers View
By: Opus Coda
Submitted: 12/10/2019
2 people found this review helpful.
Product Review
For years I have been an MPC user, starting with the MPC Renaissance which was really a controller for software but functioned as any MPC did so to that purpose it was useful. The only issue I had with it is my workflow started to move away from a computer and more towards external gear, simply for the sake of more of a performance feel than anything.
When the MPC X came out which offered a software controller mode and a standalone mode I had to try it so I ordered it and never looked back, until now. In standalone mode I was able to sample from vinyl, program drums, record instruments such as guitar, bass and vocals directly from the unit (instrument inputs on the MPC X sound perfect and almost mix ready) which made the creative process feel smooth and quick since I no longer needed a mouse and keyboard.
I used it for beats which it is typically used and marketed for, however I quickly started to use it for traditional songwriting for Pop, Rock, R&B etc and it was great, it felt like an instrument which is why artists like John Mayer are now using it in the studio and stage for their songwriting and performance. A few months ago my musical direction moved to EDM music and found the MPC X to be cumbersome and clunky when it came to this type of music production as it it heavily reliant on Plugins for sound creation and manipulation. I switched from Logic Pro X to Ableton Live 10 and using the MPC X in controller mode through the MPC software as a plugin in Logic. This now required me to now be running TWO simultaneous D.A.W.s, Logic and MPC which made the situation frustrating and back to the mouse and keyboard feel.
Eventually I decided to give the Push 2 a try hoping I could have an elegant and smooth creation process again while retaining all the MPC creative style and feel. I was worried the Push would not be up to the task but I was wrong. Not only do I have access to the MPC pad creation ability, but it also function as Transport Control, MIDI Keyboard, Plugin Parameters Manipulator, Sampler, and Instrument just to name a few.
Apart from not having a Phono preamp which requires me to plug my turntable directly into my Apogee audio interface (which is not a big deal) the Push 2 offers so much more from a Producer standpoint, creative standpoint and the ability to use the controller as an interface than the MPC X.
To help you with the decision of going with an MPC or the Push 2, it can be simply but in this way:
If you want to be a Beatmaker or if you are a Singer/Songwriter looking for a unit that allows you to quickly flesh out ideas with external instruments and add drums and synths, and play those tracks as your backing band in a live setting go with and MPC.
If you want to Producer in every sense of the word and work in any and all styles of music and have your controller work seamlessly with Ableton Live, get a Push 2.
I hope this helps someone!

ThIs my second Push 2- I sold the first when I decided to go stand alone. Tried different gear looking for that “Ableton in a box” solution. Tried an Oktatrack Mk2- while it’s a creative beast, I found it to be vastly underpowered and limited. Bought an Akai Force the day of release... ummm, no thank you. That’s when I realized I was really looking for Ableton. And when it comes to getting a true stand alone feel, the Push 2 stands alone. Perfect, complete control, built like a tank, and it feels incredible. Buy it.

Yo i cant even say how much the Push 2 has improved my creation process, and finally got me off of the timeline view and finally learn to use the session view regularly! I highly recommend the push to any Ableton user (or potential Ableton user). There are a ton of tutorials both on youtube and ableton’s website to get your feet wet, but i highly recommend, after u learn the basics, taking the time to just tinker and mess around and just make some loops, and eventually you will get to song creation. A+ product.

Through Americanmusical.com I was able to purchase and try out all midi controllers in this genre or category.
There's definitely pros and cons for each of them, but none of the others have nearly the amount of pros that the push does.
The MIDI linking alone is well worth it. It's very streamlined to link any parameter within a VST to your knobs.
It also has made learning Ableton a whole lot easier, from somebody that is new to this daw.
For music production, the push does it all! Highly recommended!!!!

I did a lot of research before purchasing the Push 2 and it absolutely lived up to my expectations. Only downside is that now people will see a lot less of me since I’ll be hiding in my studio learning all the ins and outs! American Musical’s 12-month financing option made it so I didn’t have to wait longer to buy something I’d already wanted for a while.

As a senior amateur electronica musician PUSH 2 makes music making soooo fun. I love the way I can easily build a drum clip and then add melodic or harmonic parts - and on the fly! PUSH 2 has helped me achieve a new level of composing and playing.

The next step in live performance
By: J. Whittaker
Submitted: 3/5/2019
Product Review
I used Ableton Live with an Akita APC40 to perform live. It was a cool setup, but the need to concentrate of the screen of the laptop was distracting during shows. Eventually, I decided to move to the Push 2 and it has really changed the flow of my setup. The screen is bright and easy to see on stage. And the knobs on the top work so well for using effects and volume changes. The controls for the various instruments and drum racks are very intuitive and also easy to learn. Controlling Ableton’s effects racks is a breeze using the Push 2’s navigation. I wasn’t planning to using Ableton to do much more that run loops during my live show, but the more I mess around with it, the more I can see myself using it to create. If you use a pad controller for live performances or for the studio, you should definitely look at the Push 2.

A Great Investment For Musicians That Use Ableton

Product Review
I love the workflow of this thing!! But my unit has a couple issues that throws off my workflow. 1) The middle encoder (knob) doesn't twist as smoothly as the rest of the encoders do. 2) The very bottom left touchpad likes to get triggered when you press the touchpad to the right of it with a normal press or with a very light press. But everything else is amazing with this product!

The Push 2 Grid Controller for Ableton Live is the best investment in my creator studio and a must have. It works seamless with the software. I can create, tweak, and twerk tracks and mixes right from the Controller Grid with multiple real knobs and buttons instead of a mouse. The display and unit itself is just the right size and a comfortable fit on my laptop stand. Since I have been using the unit creating music has been not only been easier, but more fun and exciting. American Musical Supply payment plans are affordable, adjustable and had really helped my decision on getting this unit. Coming up with the full payment for music equipment is not always easy. Cant go wrong when I am playing now and paying the rest later. I would defiantly recommend American Musical Supply to others. American Musical Supply is the Best thing that has happened for Musicians since Musicians were in need of Music Instruments and Musical items.

The product is well made and easy to use. Within the first hour I had the basic down and made a simple song with only using the push. Ableton did a great job with its design and there are plenty of videos provided by ableton to help you get started. I’m not much of a piano player but always tried playing. With the push it’s so easy to play chords and experiment with different scales. The display on the push is always beautiful and although I’ve never owned the first push I have used it and the push 2 absolutely blows it out of the water.

Push works so seamlessly with Ableton that it allows me to write and arrange without much effort. It's allowed me to write more frequently because I'm able to start without even needing a mouse. It feels much more natural. Almost like I'm not producing on a computer. Highly recommend it!

Incredible upgrade

As a Push 1 owner and a longtime user of Ableton Live / Suite, moving to Push 2 & Live 10 couldn't have come at a better time. Not only is the improved display a boon to the immediacy of workflow, but the improved workflow & ergonomics and support for the newer additions to Live 10 make this an upgrade that was a long time coming.

I love the Push 2! I own two. I use one in my production studio and the second one I take on the road with me in my live performance setup. It’s great for both studio production and live performance. It’s very intuitive and easy to use. Keeps your hands off the mouse and more focused on production. Same goes for performance. You can quickly jump from sequencing to playing in key note mode. Stays in which ever scale you want to play in. Easy to program dum patterns as well. Gives you you complete control over Ableton.

It’s the best Ableton live workstation. This is an incredibly intuitive. The workflow is light years ahead of what I was expecting. Pads and buttons are incredibly responsive plus they have great tactile feel. With the Added bonus of a bright and vibrant display.

Best in Class for DAWs

Product Review
This is the best in class of all DAWs. Ableton created the best device in the market. If your a Ableton user then the years of using the mouse and keyboard only to create beats is long gone. The Push 2 works seamless with Ableton 10. You can create and tweak your work with the push of a button. For all you House Music DJs you can use this to DJ too. You DJ on the Fly while added clips and drum racks too. If I can give this product 100 stars I would. American Musical played a big part for me buying this product. It has the best prices ,payment options and extended warranty of all of Music stores and websites on the internet. You guys make it easy to shop and pay later . I will be shopping here for a long long time and I will be recommending others to buy from American Musical. A++++

I had never used the Push or Push 2, but wanted something to keep my creative workflow moving. As a worship leader having the ability to create stems for recording projects and live Sunday services the Push 2 has been a game-changer. I don’t have to look at my laptop screen or use a mouse for 90% of what I’m doing. The creative and production flow I have now is incredible. I can add tracks and tweak sounds and edit so efficiently I wonder how I ever worked without it. Can’t say enough for the workflow advantage you have with this even over other midi controllers that only offer classic transport control for DAWs. Only regret is I didn’t get one sooner!!!

Must Have with Ableton Live
By: Jim R
Submitted: 5/8/2018
Product Review
The Push 2 really brings to life sounds/instruments that have aftertouch. I have always used keyboards with aftertouch but the delivery of it with the Push is second to none. I cant believe how much different/better sounds are utilizing the Push 2 versus my keyboards....Ive played keyboard for many years but the layout of the push actually "pushes" me to a different level of creativity opening up new and different patterns i might miss because im so accustomed to traditional keyboard layouts.
Build quality is second to none. Gorgeous piece of gear.
