Or do you just mean saving an ableton template with VST's pre-loaded and already mapped out?

I know how to map controls once I have the plug loaded. How does saving a default template work? Once you've done that can you browse presets or are you limited to the preset you're building the template out of.

Thanks for your help. Hope you're enjoying the new push!

Right click on the device and "save as default" appears on the context menu.

i think i'm blind, but is there a way to adjust the attack / delay / release using operator and push 2?

Yes, mate. I was doing that last night but for the life of me I can't remember how I got there - I do know it took me a little while to figure out the workflow and dive deeper into the synth.

Actually, now I'm second-guessing myself...I might not have been playing with Operator. I'm a dud, sorry.

How do we import multiple samples into a drum rack or is it only possible to import one at a time?

it's cool. i was blind. you have to click the 1st upper row button and then the lower row buttons are different sections of operator.

very cool.

two small questions which i can't seem to find anywhere:
Is it possible to change to global quantize (scene/clip) launch settings on the Push 2 some where?

secondly for previewing samples, is there a function to switch between normal & raw preview playback?

Is anyone else having issues with the "fixed length recording" feature?

It works perfectly for MIDI clips, but audio just keeps recording on and on until I click a button...

This seems strange to me. Running 9.5, new computer, fresh install, very fast, Push 2, updated firmware, blablabla.

Thanks guys.

Hi, new here.

Say I have a drum machine on track one, with a number of clips. I have a synth on track two, and I have an hpf on this which I want to sweep as I approach the end of a breakdown.

I switch to session view, kill the drums, switch to my lead synth and start sweeping the filter with the knobs. Then at the right time, I hit the pad on track one that brings in my big drum groove, and the display switches to track one and suddenly I'm tweaking a load of different parameters because the track focus has changed.

TL;dr - can I trigger a clip on a different track without the focus switching to that track?

Thanks for your help.

Not 100% sure right now (Not sure if you can blue hand lock Push) but I don't believe so. Push controls the track selected automatically. An additional small controller such as a Korg nano Kontrol or similar could allow you to Midi map a fixed control/s to devices in your set while allowing Push to be used for selected track control?

Hi All

I have an issue, I load a drum loop sample and set it to slice mode > convert to drum rack, and all the slices are set to '1' for choke, so only one sample will play at a time, I can manually (with the mouse) click through and set all the slices to 'none' but its painful, is there a way to change this choke settings default behaviour ? Apart from that the Push 2 is incredible, I didn't get my hands on a Push 1 but man .... my creativity has gone through the roof !

cheers

You can change the choke groups per pad/slice from Push 2 as well. "When a single pad is selected, you can adjust its choke group assignment via the first encoder. "

My Push 2 has just arrived...and it's a beauty! But i have a question already:

On Push 1, when it was plugged in but disconnected from USB/Mac was powered down, it used to start a sort of coloured light show across the pads. Push 2 doesn't seem to...Is it meant to?

Mine's the same - I'm actually mildly disappointed. But glad it's not malfunctioning...

I used to love it the same way as a lava lamp when I was doing other things in the same room and it just sat there, Vegas-ing away at me.
