Using multiple Push controllers

Shanesplanet · Post by **Shanesplanet** » Wed May 04, 2016 2:23 am

Learned a while back that when using 2 push's, its just easier to leave one with pxt scripting and the other controlled by ableton scripts. They can BOTH be used in basic ableton scripting mode, but as stated, focus limitation apply. I tinkered with multi instances of clyphx, but with Boome midi translator in the mix, i just decided to use only ONE instance. As it is, i have one push that does everything it would normally do, and the other swaps back and forth into PXT. I hate locking to devices, so i cant say much about how it would work, tho i assume locking would do exactly as it states. Its nice having green vu meters on the 2nd push for monitoring, while playing the 1st push. Anyhow, I had a push 2 for 45 days (hin hint) and returned it for a spare push 1, a decksaver cover, a guitar and some beer money. I think i even paid stray for pxt general and had $$ left. If all else fails, i can keep the second push for emergencies cuz we know how shit goes...

This does allow split control of session mode and I've been using it for a push/apc40kmII combination but the m4l on win 7 is tempramental i.e it forgets it's settings/sometimes doesn't initialize, completely slows down push when changing between session and note mode (10 second delay after button press is normal and sometimes crashes sets. So I'm now looking into a python script solution to allow combination mode on push.

Just to confirm it's M4L that's temperamental and not LaunchSync, we haven't had any reports of this nature so please get in touch through the website...

Just tried using Isotonik Launchsync Pro XL with my Push 2 as the master and Push 1 as the slave.

So far working pretty well. One issue is that I can put the Push 1 in Session view and trigger clips while Push 2 is in Note mode playing notes on a VST on a different track. However, as soon as I launch a new clip on Push 1, the focus shifts on Push 2 to the track with the clip, not the track I was originally playing on with the VST. I then have to select the track I want to play notes on that I started with. I tried turning off mirroring and two way communication, but that didn't change anything.

I thought it would be cool to jam on one push while triggering clips with the other.

That's what i'm doing, you have to change the "Select on launch" behavior in the preferences. It works well but if you select device/track/clip mode for the encoders, it still steals the focus. I'm only using the volume & Sends mode.

Ubik, thanks, that did the trick.

For those with multiple Push units I have a question. If both are set to note mode, can you transpose one independently from the other if you're playing an instrument like a piano?
