In the seven years since Ableton’s Push 2 hardware hit the market, it’s successfully established itself as the go-to control surface for Live users.
While there are other great Live controllers out there, including many that do certain things better than Push – Ableton’s device is still notably missing a keyboard, and Push 2 lacked that versatile MIDI and CV functionality of Novation or Arturia controllers – its plug-and-play simplicity and tight workflow made for the smoothest way to interact with Live beyond a mouse/keyboard.
