Ableton Forum

we use a single live project containing stems to all our backing tracks. now I am looking for the most practical way to controll this project (start/stop song) with push 2. ideally I would love to get rid of the laptop from our stage completely and hide it out of view.

the only way I have found up until now is to set location markers for every song and assign them via midi to the push in user mode. but I find this frustratingly unpractical, because I get no visual feedback whatsoever, e.g. wether I have pushed the right button or not.

does anybody use ableton and push in this way? is there ANY way to jump to markers using a drum rack or something else? I have googled a lot already but did not find anything helpful yet.

thanks for any help!

This M4L device allows to set and navigate your locators in Arrangement. Plus many other things.

Thanks, before I buy this, can you tell me wether there is reliable visual feedback (glowing pads/info on display) about which cuepoint is selected?

You create/delete/navigate them from the pads.
There's no visual feedback for their names... but I'm definitely adding this in the next update as I wanted to implement a few informations on the screen (global quantization value...)

5 years later and I’m facing the same doubts and am hoping there is now an update that shows the visual feedback of locators on push when in arrangement view. If so, I will also purchase this M4L but just wanted to check in on the status of that development. Any update?

The screen of the Push 2 is not able to be controlled by MaxforLive so this is not something that is possible.
