Lost mine. Any recommendations on what to buy? Got one with bit higher current than the Push says.

Ableton won't sell you an original?

I just found it.

I was surprised that I couldn't just order one from the website, so I want to order one anyway, for when I really lose/break it.

Or probably going to order this. Has bit too high current, but the push probably wont melt:

You could send a message to support.

Power supply is simply 12vDC and a higher current is never an issue as that is the current that can be drawn. Push will just draw what it needs so if it's 1 Amp push needs then you want to make sure your power supply is more than 1 Amp.

Any 12vDC supply will do as long as it is at or higher than the current of Push but the DC plug size is 2.5mm I believe which would be the thing to check.

Thanks for the info. Didn't know that current amount does not matter.

Yeah only matters if it's the other way around. EG: Push needs 2 amps but your power supply is only 1 amp. Of course voltage always matters.

Ableton support offered me a power supply for 10.90 EU shipping included. Fair price, and took them 1 workingday to reply.

another very important thing to check is the polarity of the plug (i.e. whether the inside or outside of the plug are positive/negative)...

Isn't this a universal thing for 99% of electronics?

Thanks for pointing it out, didn't think about that.

most electronic devices use DC power, which means that the power flows in one direction only through the circuitry. most devices also have protection circuitry to prevent frying the circuitry if you connect a power supply with the wrong polarity. so at best the device won't turn on, although some devices can be damaged by feeding it the wrong way around...

I just plugged in this https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01J4X ... UTF8&psc=1

and it killed my push 2

it says 12 V 1,25A

bummer

Did you end up getting it repaired? My mate did a similar thing

Hi,

Make sure your power supply is grounded. In some cases if your power supply is not grounded Push2 will generate a lot of random midi cc messages.

In my case, when I have the default Push2 power supply connected Push2 is not useable since it will do all kinds of random stuff, very glitchy. When on USB power it all good. But when I connect my Macbook Pro power supply without the grounded wall socket cable Push2 goes nuts again.

Just bought a grounded power supply for Push. Has not been delivered yet. But should do the trick.

I'm completely baffled by the fact that Push2 has this issue. I have absolutely none of these issues with Akai Force, OP-Z, ZOIA or any other device.

Cheers!

Hi, I'm new to this and I would like to know the exact specifications of which power adapter charger I can get for my Push 2 since I lost it to him
