490 Using Push
There are also a number of videos that will help you get started with Push. These are available at
https://www.ableton.com/learn-push/
27.1 Setup
Setting up the Push hardware is mostly automatic. As long as Live is running, Push will be auto-
matically detected as soon as it is connected to a USB port on your computer. After connection,
Push can be used immediately. It is not necessary to install drivers and Push does not need to be
manually configured in Live’s Audio/MIDI Preferences.
27.2 Browsing and Loading Sounds
You can browse and load sounds directly from Push, without needing to use Live’s browser. This
is done in Push’s Browse Mode.
Press Push’s Browse button:
The Browse Button.
In Browse Mode, the display shows all of your available sounds and effects. The display is di-
vided into columns. The far left column shows the specific type of device being browsed. Each
column to the right shows the next subfolder (if any exist). Navigate up via the Selection Control
button (the first row below the display) in each column. Navigate down one folder via the State
Control button for each level (the second row below the display). To load a device preset, press
the green button on the right. To load the default state of a device, press the green button on the
left.
