Thanks Orionka, I hadn't thought of a 32bit install to find the right script.. The dropbox file you linked is for push2 and I'm looking to get the skin for push1 in the pushbase folder.

I've had big issues getting the hooktheory-inspired Push 1-mapping working on 9.7.1 - whatever they've done, they've ruined the ease-of-use of my device. https://github.com/shamharoth/AbletonPu ... 0FIRST.txt

did somebody figure out how to change the color layout of Push 2 in the same way like the sea-Push?
I don't have the *.py -files to change something.

Any hint?

Cheers!

Already changed the white Pads to black... now go save your eyes or make your custom-rainbow Push 2 8)
Save this as skin_default.py and backup the original skin_default.pyc

Have Fun!

So I'm still able to accomplish this with 9.7.1 however when I'm on a drum rack...if I select a MIDI next to it that has scales...it stays in drum rack format basically unusable until I switch to a blank space and come back to it again.

Thoughts?

I remember having some issues with drum racks too, first.
I couldn't put in steps from Push.
I think I just deleted the changed script, switched back to the default Push2 script and placed my skin_defaul.py here... I don't know what the problem was, but everything is fine for now.

by the way, I decompiled some other files too. Now I rearranged Samplers default Device Mapping and changed the banks to something more useful for me.
No issues. Love the Push2 in this way.

What I'd like to do is use an 8-color palette to represent the musical notes. I use note mode a LOT, and change keys/scales pretty frequently.

This means that I've always got the root note and the scale represented to me, but if I want to find, say, a G, I have to translate the scale in my head, then the intervals in the current scale, etc. If I knew the Green is always G, then I'd know which keys on the Push are G.

I was also thinking we could use the "shade" bits to denote sharps/flats. Darker red is sharp, dimmer red is flat, etc.

Since it seems like some of you have dug into this pretty deeply, is this a fool's errand, or might it actually be possible? It would make life SO much easier.

DID YOU EVER FIND HOW TO DO THIS???????????????????

Workaround?

If you are using always the chromatic note layout, you could create a midi track with drum rack and empty simplers, redefine notes like in chromatic note mode and choose colors as you wish. Create a new midi track with your instrument and as input choose youre custom made drum rack track.

??? Im not in front of my push..so i dont know if it really works.

Hello guys,

do you think it is possible to use similar methods like this to disable pads' luminosity intensity based on velocity? I have serious trouble seeing low velocity notes while sequencing on my Push in certain conditions. I would prefer seeing all pads as full velocity instead. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Has this worked out for anyone? I'll try this eventually.
