Expressive Push 3 Performance Surface

Push 3 features 64 MPE-enabled pads designed for expressive melodic performance, finger drumming, clip launching, sequencing, and sound manipulation. Each pad responds to multiple dimensions of expression, while RGB illumination provides visual feedback for notes, scales, clips, drum layouts, and other performance functions.

Designed for Ableton Live 12 Suite

The Push 3 hardware provides hands-on control over Ableton Live running on a computer. With Live 12 Suite, users gain access to the complete Live production environment, including the full collection of instruments and effects, Max for Live, extensive sound content, and advanced music creation features.

The processor-free Push configuration requires a computer connection for operation. Ableton specifies that Push 3 is compatible with Live 11.3 and later, making the bundled Live 12 Suite license a natural software companion for the controller.

Live 12 Suite – Complete Production Environment

Ableton Live 12 Suite provides a complete music production platform for recording, arranging, sound design, mixing, sampling, electronic music production, and live performance. Suite includes the complete collection of Live instruments and effects, Max for Live, and an extensive library of sounds and Packs.

The Suite edition includes more than 70 GB of sounds and provides significantly more creative tools than Live Intro or Standard, making this bundle particularly well suited to producers who want a complete Ableton-based production environment.

MPE and Creative Expression

Push 3's MPE-enabled pads allow musicians to control pitch, slide, and pressure directly from the playing surface. This makes the controller especially effective for expressive synthesizer performances, melodic instruments, bass lines, experimental sound design, and dynamic electronic music production.

Built-In Audio Interface

Push 3 includes an integrated audio interface with two inputs supporting line and instrument signals, two balanced outputs, and a dedicated headphone output. This allows users to connect microphones, instruments, synthesizers, effects, and studio monitors directly to Push while working with Ableton Live.

MIDI, ADAT and CV Connectivity

Push 3 provides extensive connectivity for integrating external hardware. MIDI connections allow communication with compatible keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, and other MIDI equipment. ADAT can be used to expand the available audio I/O, while the dynamic ports can support pedal connections and CV, Trigger, Clock, and Gate signals.

Hands-On Production Workflow

The combination of expressive pads, display, encoders, dedicated controls, and deep Live integration allows producers to create beats, play instruments, launch clips, sequence melodies, manipulate effects, and control mixes directly from the hardware. This provides a more tactile workflow than relying exclusively on a computer mouse and keyboard.

Processor-Free Configuration

Unlike the standalone Push 3 configuration, this version does not include the internal processor, RAM, SSD, battery, or Wi-Fi module. It is designed to operate in Control Mode while connected to a computer running Ableton Live. If standalone operation is required later, the hardware can be upgraded with the compatible Push 3 Upgrade Kit.

Live 12 Suite Creative Content

Live 12 Suite includes Ableton's complete instrument and effects collection along with Max for Live and an extensive selection of Packs. The Push 3 ecosystem also provides access to additional bundled Packs and sounds, giving users a broad library for creating electronic, acoustic, cinematic, experimental, and contemporary music.
