(Image credit: Future) Ableton Push 3: Performance and verdictĪs a controller, those pads are Push’s headline feature, and they deliver on their promise of expressivity. Version 3 also enhances the MIDI editing capabilities when using the hardware, with a new Clip Edit mode that displays notes on the screen in more detail, and allows more precise adjustments using the jog wheel. This means that Push can be far more flexible when it comes to both playing an instrument and triggering clips simultaneously, meaning you don’t need to sacrifice those new expressive pads when using Push for a performance or jam. The most significant workflow change is that Push can now trigger clips and scenes using the screen and navigational controls as well as with the pad grid. You might have already seen this video in the playlist above, but here is the official Ableton Live 11: MPE video.Lithium iron phosphate battery – 2-2.5 hours of playtimeĪs before, the central grid can be used to trigger clips, step sequence and play instruments using a variety of scale modes, while the buttons and touch-sensitive rotaries that surround the screen let users add, edit and perform with Live’s devices and – in controller mode – third party plugins. The second page appears automatically once you map more than eight Macros. See up to 16 Macros: In Live 11, access Macros 9-16 from a second page after the Rack page with Macros 1-8. Polyphonic aftertouch support: Apply different levels of aftertouch to individual notes when using Wavetable, Sampler, Arpeggiator and supported VSTs for more nuanced and dynamic performances on Push. Key and Scale sync: The Key and Scale feature in Live 11 is linked to Push and can be changed per clip. Visualizations for new devices: See visualizations of key parameters in Hybrid Reverb, Spectral Resonator and Spectral Time on Push’s color display and control them directly from the hardware. Once the Push 2 firmware has been applied you can toggle Mono or Poly pressure in the setup page.Īs you can see Ableton continues to make Push 2 more useful with incremental and point releases. Push 2 now supports polyphonic aftertouch!!! Second, and somewhat buried in the huge list of features… Live 11 Adds MPE + Push 2 Polyphonic Aftertouchīefore we move on I wanted to call out two of my favorite features. Wondering what comes with which edition? Ableton has updated the page to add Live 11 features.
A List of All New Features in Ableton Live 11 On the date of this post it has 5 videos in it. Here is a YouTube playlist which kicks off with a 3m49s teaser video to help frame up this release. YouTube Playlist for Official Ableton Live 11 Videos
#PUSH 1 ABLETON 11 UPDATE#
Trying to summarize the huge amount of features wouldn’t do the update justice so instead I’ve curated official resources and a few community resources I thought were spot on and concise after being the beta for a while. More on getting to know Ableton Live 11, Push 2 Polyphonic Aftertouch and more… I’ve been working a lot with the new MPE capabilities so I’ll more detailed posts on this in the future. Live 11 is more than the sum of it’s parts and once you start using the Live 11 you’ll find it hard to go back to 10.
There are soooo many new features and improvements. In this post on Live 11, I want to offer some resources to help your wrap you head around what’s new. I’ve been working with it in private beta for a while so I’m excited Live 11 has now been officially released.
