True Standalone Music Production

The processor-equipped Push 3 can operate independently from a computer. Its integrated processor, RAM, SSD, battery, and Wi-Fi hardware allow it to run compatible Ableton Live Sets directly on the instrument, making it suitable for mobile production, rehearsals, performances, and computer-free creative sessions.

Expressive 64-Pad MPE Playing Surface

Push 3 features 64 MPE-enabled pads with individual XY sensing. The pads respond to velocity, pressure, and finger movement, giving musicians expressive control over pitch, modulation, dynamics, and other musical parameters. RGB illumination provides visual feedback for notes, scales, clips, drum layouts, and performance functions.

Powerful Built-In Processor

The standalone version incorporates an Intel 11th Generation Core i3-1115G4 processor with 8 GB of RAM. The processor provides the computing power required to run compatible Live Sets directly on Push 3.

256 GB SSD Storage

A built-in 256 GB SSD provides internal storage for the standalone system, Live Sets, samples, sounds, and user content. This gives Push 3 the storage capacity needed for computer-free music production and performance workflows.

Rechargeable Battery

The integrated lithium iron phosphate battery allows Push 3 to operate away from a mains power connection. With approximately 2–2.5 hours of battery life depending on usage, the instrument is suitable for portable composition, rehearsal, and performance applications.

Built-In Audio Interface

Push 3 includes an integrated audio interface with two balanced inputs, two balanced outputs, and a stereo headphone output. The inputs can be configured for line-level or instrument-level sources, allowing musicians to connect guitars, synthesizers, effects, and other external equipment directly to Push.

ADAT and CV Connectivity

ADAT input and output allow Push 3 to connect to compatible external audio expansion equipment. The dynamic ports can also be configured for pedal connections or CV, Trigger, Clock, and Gate signals, making Push 3 suitable for integrating modular synthesizers and other electronic instruments.

Wi-Fi and Wireless Workflow

Built-in Wi-Fi provides wireless access to supported Push functions, including compatible Live Set transfers, Pack downloads, firmware updates, and synchronization through Ableton Link.

Standalone and Control Modes

Push 3 can be used in Standalone Mode for computer-free music creation or connected to a computer in Control Mode to control Ableton Live. This makes it equally useful as a self-contained performance instrument and as a sophisticated hardware controller for a computer-based studio.

Ableton Live Integration

Push 3 is designed around Ableton Live and provides hands-on access to instruments, effects, clips, sequencing, sampling, and other production functions. The standalone configuration includes Ableton Live 12 Intro, while users with compatible Live licenses can access the instruments and effects included with their licensed edition.
