5 Ableton Push 2 HACKS You Won't Find In The Manual

[@cyclic2696]

For correct screw replacement when dismantling anything like the PUSH 2, place a piece of same-size paper over the device and mark the screw holes on the paper (scrape over the hole with the side of a pencil). Then when you remove the screws, push them through the paper where they originated - that way you'll be sure to put the same screws back in the right holes! Also with self-tappers, turn the screw backwards gently when reinserting and it will 'click' when the thread reaches the start point. Thus it will go back in smoothly to the same cut thread in the socket - otherwise you'll be cutting a new thread and that can only happen once more and the hole will be too big.. (Good tip for any self-tapping screw, into plastic or aluminium etc.)

[@mredrollo]

Thanks for the tips!

[@completebeats8771]

Damn this is a good ass suggestion!

[@alexanderlane]

Really great tips, thanks for sharing!

[@peen2804]

Holy shit a KZbin comment suggesting actual useful and insightful tips. Genuinely worried the sky may be falling. Thanks for these!

[@djtsoimusic]

Super cool video man! Love the signatures on the inside, best easter egg ever

[@mredrollo]

What else is hidden that can’t be seen?? 🤔

[@mangrove1985]

Just bought me 2 Korg Pedals and enjoying the flexibility of the Pedal remap :D Thnx mate!!

[@michaelduff2382]

Another one who had no idea about the signatures!! Thanks for showing it off! Makes me proud to own a Push 2. I love Ableton even more now

[@mredrollo]

Such a happy moment!

[@kryptocurrency8662]

Brilliant glad you took your push apart now mine can all stay together... respect to Ableton design crew.

[@mredrollo]

Absolutely!

[@alexanderlane]

Dude, I'm glad you didn't edit down or fast forward the disassembly any more than you did. I heard about the signatures a long time ago, long before I got mine (just this last week). Watching your vid and seeing how long that took you even with it sped up and skipping parts has thoroughly convinvced me to never take it apart if it's not broken haha The signatures are an amazing detail (and very morale boosting I'm sure). I also love the Ableton logo that they had printed right onto the PCB.

[@mredrollo]

Haha, I’m glad mate. It was a nerve racking experience!

[@DominicDonner]

Thanks for that video man. The push 2 has been my favorite controller since I've started using ableton. Keep em coming. 🙌

[@mredrollo]

thanks buddy

[@completebeats8771]

Whew those last 10min had me McNervous! The PUSH2 is sacred in my studio. LOL. Glad you got it back together, and thanks for the useful hacks!

[@mredrollo]

Any time!

[@WetDidgeridoo]

Thank you for all of your awesome Push content!

[@mredrollo]

Hehe you’re welcome, more to come!

Denatured alcohol gets rid of the sticky coating very easily 👍

[@Bashanvibe]

This was so cool!!! Now I really can’t wait to purchase the Push 2!!!!

[@43audio89]

i just bought a Push 1 in 2022 for under $200.. If you use ableton Push is it.. I almost actually upgrade my Launchpad X to a Pro..lol 2022 Push 1 and Ableton 11 is a absolute joy to make music on. Dont call it a controller! Soon as you hold it in your hands you will realize why its marketed as a instrument... Definitely get more of a MPC feel from it then a Launch pad

[@Polypumpkins]

wow the signatures, so cool!

[@mredrollo]

I know right!!

[@luvlilginger2514]

Hey Mredrollo, I love the teachings and I'm ready to work now. Question, I'm looking at the Ableton Push2 or the Machine MK3. I'm stuck I have the money for what ever. Tell me why you pick the Ableton Push2 to jam with and why not the Machine? Thank you bro, and many blessing

[@mredrollo]

I’ve never used Maschine so I really couldn’t say. Push works seamlessly with Live and I’ve never felt the need to try anything else :)

[@luvlilginger2514]

@@mredrollo Thanks bro!!

[@chutneyrebelmusic]

Came here through Hozaifa. Proud owner of Push 2. Thanks for this ❤️

[@mredrollo]

Yes! You're most welcome.

[@wakinglife7065]

That was awesome!!! Totally noticed you sweating b@lls but you nailed it. Loved the relief at the end

[@mredrollo]

Haha totally!

[@WestonStephens]

Can’t wait to see the next iteration of Push!

[@mredrollo]

Me too!

[@BenAngMusic]

Thanks for explaining the SS4V, Ed - helped me to understand the maker's tutorial! Going to try it out for my next livestream jam

[@Mor3Musik]

Great Video!! Final days of push 🤔 is it because a new Push 3 is coming out soon?

[@mredrollo]

Haha one would hope. I was just referring to how I was potentially going to break it! 😂

[@twistdj4403]

I do not believe that, push users are still learning how ro use it.

[@jackbaden]

is there any extra latency using the foot pedal device, and are you saying that you can literally use any midi footpedal including ones with like 6 pedals all mapped to different buttons alongside using the push as it is?

[@mredrollo]

JACK BADEN hey man, I’m not sure the lengths you can go with this device. I believe you will be able to map 1 pedal per foot switch port. Best thing to do would be to download and plug and play, it’s free :)

[@HelicopterRidesForCommunists]

Push 2 is incredible. The Akai Force had the potential to be even better, then they went hard into it only being standalone - which is probably for the best, but I wish it could be as good as the Push and a great standalone.

[@argentinox]

So cool! Thanks!

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

Very entertaining vid

[@mredrollo]

Thank you! Just released a new one :)

[@TheGannoK]

Amazing video, I love the Chris Ramsey reference. I had 0 idea about the inside of the Push 2, it's a really neat addition to their labor of love lol.

[@mredrollo]

GannoK haha thanks man. I definitely need a few more tattoos and some lofi in the background, but not far off! Yeah wanted to search under the hood for so long! So glad I did.

[@DopamineOverload]

The Chroma Caps you put on.. they're not touch-sensitive, though. Does this bother you, not knowing a parameter setting before touching the encoder?

[@mredrollo]

It’s never bothered me actually. But yeah, it is a drawback of the chroma caps.

[@DopamineOverload]

@@mredrollo I just realized that it probably doesn't matter as Push 2 tells you everything on the screen before you turn anything... haha. So I guess it doesn't matter. Thanks again!

[@CuriousPassenger]

9:44 i'd also use the Push 2 as a gaming controller instead of the gamepad.

[@mredrollo]

I know right! I totally didn’t even think of that!!

[@CuriousPassenger]

@@mredrollo also the push 2 would be a good controller for chess because of its 8x8 pad grid. What a perfect match lol.

[@rdiiokilledit1510]

Sick mic boom arm and great tips 🔥

[@mredrollo]

Appreciate it!

[@Unit27]

Thanks for sharing the hacks. Great video!

[@mredrollo]

My pleasure bro. Love your work!!

[@gokhancolak3123]

super video.thank u

[@mredrollo]

Welcome 😊

[@ComplexConfiguration]

I dont understand the pedal problem, why not just hook up that pedal to your midi in on your audio interface, or via cable to the computer? why does it have to go into the Push 2 ?

[@11MasterMind11]

Nice Video! Do the chroma caps work with the touch sensitivity?

[@mredrollo]

Thanks man. Unfortunately not.

[@victorr9679]

hey, what is that footswitch brand you are using?

[@mredrollo]

It’s the Boss FS-6

[@barret100]

my push 2 wont loud up the LED screen how do i fix it wont boot up at all nothing shows up one the screen now?

[@mredrollo]

[@romdelatierra]

Hack #2 question: that footswitch pedal have 2 buttons, they work separately? I mean pedal 1 sends one midi signal and pedal 2 sends another one? Wonder if this works with my behringer fs112b

[@mredrollo]

It’s a free download. Worth a try :)

wouldn't we all like to know!

The guck can be wiped away with a isopropyl wipe.

[@maitoy5727]

Is it possible to use the computer screen display while controlling Live itself? Btw great video!

[@mredrollo]

Yep!

[@maitoy5727]

@@mredrollo maybe i missed out something but it didn't work out for me, it only works when live is turned off. Any specific settings i need to do to make it work?

[@Drrolfski]

I wouldn't put on chroma caps if it means you lose push-button functionality but to each his own I guess.

[@mredrollo]

Exactly 😉

[@shalomormsby]

Have you tried using IPA to remove the gunk you mentioned at the start of this vid?

[@mredrollo]

Beer?

[@Keifer-D]

Isopropyl = IPA

[@Hauckelectro_Official]

But the chroma caps have no touch-sensitive

[@mredrollo]

Correct 😉

Gotta wonder why there are so many screws to hold the cover on. I wouldn't have put them all back in. Four screws max, 2 would be the minimum.

Why does every. Single. Fucking. Video. On KZbin have to start with slurping? Not charming, quirky, or cool in any conceivable way. If slurping is what people want, start another channel so dedicated and leave us sane folx out of it. Please.

[@whexritney4357]

Its actually inconceivable that recording just happens to start by surprise mid-sip. "Purposeful nonchalance" is too self-contradictory for this world...
