What are those 2 sockets on the back good for?

Manual doesn't say anything about those two sockets labelled 1 and 2 on the back.
Are they only for plugging footswitches or maybe even more (audio)?

they're footswitches for a sustain pedal.

Where did you find that info?

I think Abelton need to update their manual to include information about this. There is nothing in the manual about these jacks. I would like to know what kind of pedals can be used here.... For example can I use my Moog expression pedals?

no, they are for foot switches, not expression pedals.

Sorry if this is an uber dumb question but...why 2?
Sustain pedal I understand, but what else would you use these for?

loop recording, fx, mutes, etc etc

or using it for hihat/bassdrum if your familiar with.

ah...yes...of course.

To use it for triggering a looper device or something, the pedal would have to be midi mapped in your set, right?

yup.
Here's hoping thats still an option, though. I seem to recall the push live mode input isnt visible in the midi device preferences anymore? Could someone confirm that?

The ouetest is for hold (sustain), inner for record toggle.

@ Jordi.Martinez & lo.key (btw - Hi lokey! Nice to see a familiar moniker from monome)

Sorry if this is a dumb question...but where are you guys getting your information on these pedals? I haven't got Push yet and can't find anything about them in the Live 9 user manual...

Jajaja, man, I'm a luky Push owner, and just trying hard to figure out all the possibilities. The Push section in the Live manual is sparse, to be honest, and u know, practice and bold is the mother and father of science.
Glad to help u if I can.

btw, Push is an awesome device. Grab one whenever u can.
